Zion Natl Park – Wednesday June 2, 2010


Wednesday at Zion Natl Park. Today’s entry will have two pictures, one from the East Rim trail and the other is a mystery picture. If you think you know what the mystery picture is you can add your guess to the comments. I left home with the comments set as moderated and l’ve had no luck getting that changed. You’ll have wait for me to approve comments.

I caught the 5:45 a.m. bus this morning and hiked up to the East Rim trail 4.5 miles up and 4.5 miles back down – a long ways for me. It got to 90 today and should reach 100+ this weekend.

Zion Natl Park – Tuesday June 1, 2010

Zion just got a little better, 3g works great.

As I start to write it’s 87 & partly overcast, Hank just had a lizard run right by him and NOT one bark, he also knows exactly how long his line he’s on will stretch.

Today was a beautiful day drive 124 and have a great site along the river. Campfire program is at 9:30 and Jean brought plenty of Tootsie Roll pops.

Today’s picture is a Birthday bottle of wine. For those who didn’t provide a Birthday bottle of wine YOU should feel BAD.

Sunny Day At Richards

We are spending a nice sunny day at Richard’s. Late this morning we went to Costco and on Vickie and Richard’s recommendation I got a case of Carolan’s Irish cream. The missing one in the picture is already being put to work.. This was all Christine’s idea.

 

 

Late Post – From Thursday May 27, 2010

It’s vacation time and today is the first day of our two weeks of travel. We are going to do the same thing in September, yes 4 weeks this year. Also the good news is I missed my weight goal by 0.2 pounds. Yes that’s two tenths of a pound. In January I set a goal to be 200 lbs by vacation and I’m only 0.2 pounds short. I could not eat today to loose the 0.2 pounds however I’ve decided to accept failure and eat.
We should be leaving about 5:00 p.m. this afternoon and heading SOUTH for sun and warmth. It is going to be 84 at Zion today.

We got to Richard’s at 6:30. Thursday we drove until 11:30 p.m., got to Eugene. I got up at 5:30 and P&Poo’d Hank. Jean moved from the bed to her chair and we were on the road by 6:00. Not particularly warm here but we DO have sun. We followed. Martha’s direction (Droid navigator) and she got us right to Richard’s front door using the shortest route.
The picture is the first one of the trip. This was to document we were officially on VACATION.
