I'm Glad We're Here

When it's two hours past sunrise, and it's still only 34 degrees, you know you should have packed warmer clothes.

The weather is sunny and cool even now at noon local time. We explored just a wee bit, there's plenty more to go.

The campsite is ours for 3 nights. I was thinking of our idyllic stay in Moab, but as you know my dreams were shattered along with the frost and ice on our tent this morning.

On the bright side, there is truly a shower today. They have them at the General Store in the park, and after this blog you can guess where I'm heading. I thought Fred was joking last Thursday night as we packed saying he would buy me a shower for my birthday! Well, he must have planned this all along. Right now, I can't think of a more romantic man.

I haven't even opened the camera, so the rest of the day will be devoted to that and finding some wood for the fire.

We're camped at the North Campsite, and the main road through Bryce runs North to South. Before we lost the afternoon sun, we took a drive south, checking out the vantage points. What a beautiful country this is!

Fred wants to take a horsie ride down to the bottom of the canyon, and we're scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, 10/21. The quiet and serenity, fresh air and altitude are doing their work on both of us. It appears we're getting lazier as the week progresses.

Bryce Canyon on horseback.... remind me, what does a horse look like?
