Day 4 - Arriving at Zion - Wed, June 18

 Today was a roaster. Blisteringly hot in Moab and only slightly cooler near St George. After 6 hours on the road getting there, we were rewarded with a nice dispersed camping site on public land, with incredible views. The temperature however, did not give any relief as it was well over 100 degrees. The generator continued to get a healthy workout, even though the AC could barely keep up. 

Liz and kids went off to the nearby Virgin River to try to get cooled down. I stayed back and got a lot of work done that had come in through out the day. Now, the stars are out and I’ve already seen a few shooting across the relatively dark sky. 

Tommorow, we’ll get up and go into Zion National Park, before the heat reaches its peak. Luckily, a campsite opened up tonight in the park for tommorow night, so we jumped on reserving that. It will be right on the river, which will at least provide some relief from tbe heat.
