I need a crayon!🖍️

About 20 years ago, I heard the funniest travel line from an exchange student who had traveled from Chile to our home in upstate New York. He asked if I had a crayon, I said “I think so, what do you need it for?” His reply still tickles my funny bone. He said “I’ve been sitting so long, I need to re-draw the crack in my ass!” 😂. Well, today was sort of like that. We had a good morning at Snow Canyon State Park, and then drove from Utah through Arizona, and Nevada, and are now in California! About 7 hours of driving, with a few breaks to feed ourselves and the car.

Snow Canyon is not very big, but has some amazing geological features. All three types of rock can be seen quite easily (Igneous, Metamorphic, and Sedimentary). The rock features are stunning with deep reds and stark whites. Fantastic outcrops with amazing features that play with the light during all times of the day.

The drive was mostly uneventful, just long. There is a lot of “nothing” in this part of the country. Sage brush and sand. We even had a little detour on the classic Rt66 (in fact our RV park is on Rt66). We raced a few freight trains, and got caught on a road with construction for over 30 miles where we could only travel 35MPH.

We were supposed to spend the night in the Mojave desert at a campsite that had no services, but when the thermometer in the car spiked at 110DegF, we decided to keep rolling for another hour or two and Melissa found an RV park on the fly in San Bernadito County. It isn’t much, but we have full hookups and will be rolling early tomorrow morning. When we finally plugged in the camper, the thermostat just said “High”. I expect it was over 100DegF in the camper too, but it is nice and cool now that the AC is running 😎Read more
