Steppingstone Motel Tropic

... We didn't burn them.

It's been worthwhile stopping of at Bryce for a couple nights, it's a scenic, peaceful place and at night when it's not cloudy the stars bring a magic to the place.

I am however eager to get back on the road...I think I prefer constantly moving on to staying in one place too long. We take the long drive to Vegas tomorrow...Looking forward to wonderland.

VEGAS TOMORROW BABY!! Time to win back some mulah!

Bryce Canyon National Park and Best Friends Animal Sanctuary:

Today, from our headquarters in Kanab, we headed out to see Bryce Canyon National Park. The park lies about 1.5 hours northeast of Kanab and we reached it by about 9:30 this morning. Just like our guidebook said, it was much less popular than Zion due to its remote location (thank goodness!).

The park is small by comparison to say...Glacier or even Zion, but it has it's own ...

... the shuttle around the National Park for a while and stopped at some of the most popular points. Sunrise Point was my favorite. Afterwards we checked into the hotel and ate dinner at the restaurant inside. The hotel was great and everyone was very friendly. We bought some gifts and postcards for home before leaving for the middle of the desert, Las Vegas. :).

... and I alone in the RV. When Mum left, Melanie and Hannah started marching up and down the RV while I was reading in the top bed above the driver's seat. When we got to our site Hannah and I ran to the back to a pile of snow and Hannah found an ice axe. That night, just before we went to bed, we saw snow falling and hoped in the morning the whole ground would be covered and we would be stuck in the RV.

... op. Ze waren een paar dagen weg geweest en hadden de mail nog niet gelezen. Eigenlijk zijn ze al gesloten maar ze willen ons toch nog ontvangen. We boeken 2 nachten (95$ per nacht) en om 10u30 vertrekken we richting Bryce Canyon. De weg naar Bryce is erg mooi. Het begint al behoorlijk spectaculair. Om Zion NP ter verlaten moeten we door een smalle tunnel van 1 mijl (1,6 km) lang. De bouw is gestart in 1927 en voltooid ...

... The next morning in Zion i did nothing, still traumatised i hung around the campsite, and the most adventurous thing i did was buy dodgy american chocolate in the gift shop. We drove out to Las Vegas that afternoon. My fourth visit in 2 months, technically i'm a regular! I love that damn place and i played tour guide to the people i was hanging out with on the bus. It was wicked, we gambles saw the sights, made the most of harrahs buffet, more specifically the deserts. A ...

... ogni strada percorsa mi fermo spesso a fare foto, passo da paesini troppo tipici, scenari... Ecco sto percorrendo una Scenic byways.. ed in effetti si vede! tutto questo dopo aver visto la solita macchina dello sceriffo nascosta in un paesino. La strada per arrivare al Bryce si fà notare essendo una scenic byways... passo per dei paesini minuscoli con le tipiche casette americane! che figata! e che spettacolo di panorama. Appena si entra nella Dixie National ...

... the table of three French women as they squealed their way through breakfast inside the Bryce Lodge. The little thing had gotten hold of a small, square, peel-back jelly dispenser - grape, I think - and was going to town like toast was an afterthought. I had to disappoint Alli by telling her we couldn't take it home, but mostly, I was trying to figure out how it got inside. For the food distributors out there, consider this: there was a Sysco truck at the loading dock ...

... ahead. He gave us some pointers about the trip ahead and let us be on our way. We headed into Bryce and decided to hike down into the canyon, but we were saving that for last. First we drove to the end of the park and started to hit every pulloff on the way back. This is where you will see most of the pictures from today. Chris got a little restless and reverted back to his younger days, "imagine that" Kara ...

... bars. As the storm moved out of the region arctic air moved in behind it. It was about 12 degrees Celsius below average November temperatures. I believe it was on this night that my cell phone froze solid in the car thus rendering it inoperable ever again. In the good news department the skies had not a cloud in them. It was a gorgeous day. When the sun hit your face you could almost believe that the snow might melt (it didn't). So we bundled up and headed into Arches National ...
