While out for a walk the other day I saw this motorhome and the first thing I thought of was this guy must be a newly retired safety manager.
He is parked in a corner site and this was on his picnic table with a hand washing station.

Zion National Park, UT – Friday September 16, 2016
Spent some time taking moon pictures tonight. I really want to get a picture The Watchmen Mountain and the Milky Way however the full moon is coming up early and blocking out most stars.
These were taken with a 700mm lens.

I built this BBQ wind shield out of misc scrap I had around the house. It seems to work very well.
Zion National Park, UT – Tuesday September 13, 2016
I have found a fun way of getting a mid morning walk done. Go to the visitor’s center parking lot and walk around like I am going to a car. I can get all kinds of people following me in their car as they drive around and around in a FULL parking lot.

The Zion buses have a new sign: “GO BEFORE YOU GO”
Zion National Park, UT – Sunday September 11, 2016

One of the things I purchased while we were at the big house this summer is a sun shade for the awning. I wasn’t sure how the power awnings would take the wind until this spring I saw people at the Goodyear RV Resort with power awning staked out. This will really work well when we’re at Spring Training next March. The motorhome faces south and this shade will help in the late afternoon and evening sun.
Zion National Park, UT – Friday September 9, 2016
Last night I worked on updating our travel logbook I keep in an excel spreadsheet. Last year created a worksheet with summary information about each night and campsite information. I worked backwards from now and got to 2012. Last night I put all our Zion stays into this worksheet. As of 2014 we had 96 nights here at Zion starting in September of 2003, we did not come to Zion last year (2015).
Also updated the maps for Monday 9/5, Tuesday 9/6 and Wednesday 9/7 and moved a couple to post so they appear on the correct calendar date. The Ipad program I use will only post a date as of the date it is actually published. The PC program will allow me to set a publishing date to anything I want, this allows me to coordinate the blog post calendar on the right side of the page to the correct day’s information.
Don’t have a new picture for today so I’ll show our campsite again.
Weather has been warm; 92 yesterday, 94 today and going to be 96 on Saturday.

Zion National Park is just the greatest place.
We have one of the largest sites in the park, B44 right on the river. A river site is at least 5 degrees cooler. It is now 10:30 p.m. and it is still 75 degrees outside.
Tanya and I are still in the Fall newspaper.
Updated maps – Will post maps after I upload data from Inreach. 
Don’t know why this has two lines for today’s travels.
Drove to our campsite to drop off the car and then dump and fill with water.
Again don’t know why the GPS is jumping around so much. Still a good pictures
