Saturday 11th April……OH MY!!!!

A catastrophe happened last night I accidently sat on my Elton Pearson, 6 year old Dollar Store glasses…..IMG_6082

This morning was the first time in 5 months I had woken up to gloomy skies and cooler temperatures, had to happen I guess. 

My plan for today was to leave the RV park and go park for the day in Zion Park parking lot and do my hike.

The hike I had chosen for today wasIMG_6085

Just as I got here the rain started to come down so I was lucky I was off the steep slopes before it rained.IMG_6129

This climb took me 4 hours and truly was one of the most beautiful, scary and incredible hikes I have ever done and one long to be remembered.

I was a bit sneaky went back to the RV park and showered and came into the lobby to post this.

I am now on my way to the scenic highway 12 and it will take me 4 days to get to Salt Lake City.

 

A very Happy Easter Sunday to everyone…
