Zipping thru Zion


We left St. George around 10:00am and headed toward Green River, Utah passing through Zion National Park. Bill intended on taking numerous photos for his art work but unfortunately the sun never came out and the brilliance of the multicolored rock was lost. We were still able to enjoy the majesty of God's creation. The mountains and rock formations are awesome! We stopped several times along the way to enjoy the canyons and the peaks.
We had lunch in a quaint little restaurant overlooking a herd of buffalo in the middle of nowhere.
We arrived at 5:00 in Green River. It is a very small town--nothing much is here but the river. But Bill chose the Best Western which definitely was the best choice. The room is very nice and overlooks the river. A table and chairs are provided on the grass outside our room to sit and enjoy the river. The hotel also offers one of the few restaurants available in this very small town. Life around here is very different from the hustle and bustle of home.
It is hard to imagine what people do in these tiny little towns in the middle of absolute nowhere that hardly even has a grocery store--let alone anything else.
Weather report says we're headed directly toward thunder showers tomorrow.
Wish us luck!
