My Life and Travels
Second
Overcast and 75°.
Here is the visitors center and metal dinosaur which is out front.
The dinosaur,
I took a few pictures at the dinosaur display building but we’ll have to wait until I got them off my camera.
Here’s a hot Hank, he threw his ball as far as he could and fell over.
Or maybe he is starting to melt.
Forgot to put in campsite pictures:
Today’s picture is of the trail to Angel’s Landing.
Here are several picture documenting how I became a “Senior” today.
For my birthday Jean gave me $10.00.
I took this $10.00 to the Zion entrance gate and purchased my Senior Pass which is one time purchase for Life Time entry into all national parks or until October 30, 2028.
The pass also gives us a 50% discount on many of the National Park camp grounds. Anyway now I am eligible to draw Social Security and I have a government document which says I’m a Senior (that’s with a capital “S”)
It is going to be 101 today and it was 100 yesterday, VACATION.
Today’s picture(s) are from the West Rim trail above Angel’s Landing. I took the 6:00 a.m. bus up the canyon and spent the morning on the trail above Angel’s Landing taking pictures and hoping the condors I saw last year would come back. They didn’t.
Over the winter I bought myself a new toy, a Canon 60d and a couple of lens. The walk around lens is 18-200mm and the big toy is a 150-500mm. The first picture is of Angel’s Landing at 150mm.
I think this lens is going to be a lot of fun and great to take pictures of birds and other animals.
Picture of the day is our evening view, 8:00 pm and its 80°.
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.
During the morning.
In the afternoon.
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.
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.
