Bryce Canyon National Park

We left Kanab, UT at 7:30 am when it was just 40 degrees. Now that's cold....especially with the wind chill factor of rolling along on a motorcycle. It didn't warm up much during the day...in fact the weather got worse! But I'll save that for later in this post......

Here's Dave at the entrance to the park

Bryan & Shanna being good sports and posing

Bret & Donna know the drill...

There are red rock formations EVERYWHERE and it never gets boring

See....still not boring.....

As you can see, or not see, by the dark faces of Bret & Donna, I still need to get familiar with the manual settings for the new camera

See....still not boring....

And then the heavens opened up! I have tried, but failed, to capture the ordeal that is putting on rain gear. The tiny little folded bundle of rain proof jacket and pants are generally pushed to the bottom of the bag...which bag is another question. All the while you are being pelted with rain on the side of the road. You then try, with cold hands, while the wind is whipping the rain gear around. You try to get your boot through the legs of the pants, while still wearing chaps, balancing on one leg because there are no chairs to sit on.

Off we went while it rained, hailed, and trucks drenched us...it really wasn't that bad....and it only lasted 15 minutes...then it was sunny. And we stopped at the Utah rest stop which I LOVE because it was so warmly heated!

We checked in to Best Western, showered, and went to dinner. The meal was fabulous, we're having really good luck with our meals....and our hotels. With the exception of the National Park, our rooms are under $100. We ride in to town, check our TripAdvisor App and then try to get 3 rooms. We've only been snubbed once, but we went down the road and found rooms. Wednesday we're in Vegas where the room is $29.11 including tax. Which is about what a tank of gas is running us..oh well.
