Day 17 - Andrew Journeys To The Mountaintop - July 1st, 2025

 Andrew woke up this morning shortly after dawn and scaled the mountain out behind our camper. Roughly 1100 feet above the valley floor of Taylor Canyon, a small rocky peak stands above the pine and meadow slope descending from it. It was here that Andrew stood, weary after battling an incline much steeper than the ones he was used to back in Ohio. A grueling two hour journey, his triumphal ascension was accompanied with a bit of soul-searching, as he contemplated the possibility that his many admirers had overestimated his physical prowess. Finally at the summit, he wiped just a single bead of sweat from his formidable brow.



Our hero captured the moment through the wonder of color photography. My, what a sight.



Far below, in the lower right of the next photo, behold! A single white dot that is our camper.

Day 4 - Arriving at Zion - Wed, June 18

Image
 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.
