After crawling out of my sleeping bag this morning to 29 degrees, I’m now in a hotel room in Loa, Utah at a place called Road Creek In. I tried to stay in Torrey but there are hunters on the prowl for deer season and a BMW motorcycle rally going on.  everything was full. This is the best I can get and it will be warm and not wind to deal with.

The last three days have been exciting. I’ve just touched Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks and Escalante State Park. I’m awe struck!  Such beauty. I can see why the Native American Indians call it sacred. The magnitude of these geological creations and how they were created go beyond my finite mind. And, yet they are so delicate.

Okay, I’m tired and going to bed. I will pass through Capital Reef National Park tomorrow as I head home. Still have a couple more days of this trip. So far I’ve covered over 2,000 miles and have about a 1,000 to get home. I will write more about this trip in a future post. Good night!
