May 2012 – Harry Lange

Zion Natl Park, UT – Wednesday May 30, 2012

This was a hiking day. Got up at 5:15 am to catch the 6:00 bus up the canyon. I think there were 8 people on the early bus.
Hiked up the West side trail, this goes UP the west canyon wall and past Angel’s Landing. Stopped about half way to the West rim and spent a couple of hours wandering and around taking pictures, think l took 300.

Picture of the day is our evening view, 8:00 pm and its 80°.

Zion Natl Park, UT – Thursday May 31, 2012

Today’s picture is of the Zion Canyon Field Institute’s schedule/flyer for 2012.

In 2010 Tanya and I took a day trip up the Virgin River with the Field Institute. One of the group took a group picture which has become the promotional piece for the last two years. Last year the schedule was printed on 1/3 sheet and this year it’s a 8.5 X 11 sheet.

Zion Natl Park, UT – Monday May 28, 2012

Got to Zion at 1:00 & it’s at least 80 and not a cloud to be seen. Jean’s setting in the sun and I’m working on my vacation theme.

Who’s vacation theme is who’s?

This phone app has challenges. Couldn’t get both pictures next to one another, try this with text between.

And as advertised here are a couple of campsite pictures.

Traveling, NV – Sunday May 27, 2012

We left Richard & Vicki’s early but we didn’t get all that far for a while. We started the day at Walmart getting under the motor home putting oil in the hydraulic jacks. We developed a small leak that will be hard to reach. May wait until we get home to fix it.

Finally got on the road at 8:30. I decided it take highway 50 across Nv because we come out south of Salt Lake. We had a nice day and got to a rest stop in Beaver at 9:50 driving 579 miles. Martha (our phone GPS) says we have 112 miles to get to Zion.

Here’s today’s campsite pictures
This is a Utah state rest stop and Flying J truck stop in the same spot.
