Saturday the 22nd
Well, it looks like our string of nice weather is nearing an end. The wind howled all night, shaking the coach from side to side and keeping the kids and Tina awake. Fortunately by morning it had calmed down.
We managed our morning routine and walked the dogs leaving our campground by 9:15 AM. The drive was uneventful as we crossed over the mountains via Hwy 20 to I-15 and on up to Provo where we got to Lakeside Campground and set up for the night. We had one brief shower, then it was nice the rest of the evening.
Tina made fried chicken and mashed potatoes, Diane brought creamed corn and we had a shared dinner at our coach, then played Uno for an hour before giving it up for the night.
Long drive, about 250 miles. Total for the trip so far, 7,250 miles.
No photos today.

Zion Canyon
Friday the 21st
Once the kids had their final walk we left camp around 10:30 AM for the drive south on US-89 to the Mt Carmel Junction and US-9 which runs into the park. Hwy 9 is a beautiful entry to the park with several tunnels and great hills of exposed sandstone, remnants of huge sand dunes. The most notable is called Checkerboard Mesa and is only a few miles past the park gate.
Once through the tunnel, we wound our way down into the canyon following a series of seven switch backs which dropped us about 750 feet to the floor of the canyon and arriving at Canyon Junction where we turned south to the Visitor Center. We tried to park here but couldn't find a spot so we drove 100 yards out of the park and found a spot on the road in front of the Zion Canyon Theater.
From here we walked back into the park to the visitors center and caught the tram that goes into the canyon. The tram makes seven stops in the canyon and we got off at five - Court of the Patriarchs, the Zion Lodge where we had lunch, the Angels Landing, Weeping Rock and the Temple of Sinawava at the head of the canyon.
At the Angels Landing we were treated to a view of the Great White Throne, Angels Landing and the Organ three of the most famous landmarks in Zion. The Great White Throne is impressive white topped monolith, rising more than 2400' above the canyon floor. The name, Great White Throne, was given by the same Methodist minister, Frederick Fisher, that named Angels Landing and the Three Patriarchs. Fisher felt that the monolith was magnificent enough to symbolize the throne of God. The white flat mountain he saw to be the back of the throne and Angels Landing and the Organ symbolize the two arm rests.
Our next stop was at Weeping Rock. Diane decided to take a break and sat on a bench while Don, Tina and I made a short hike up to the face of an eroded, bowl-shaped cliff face. This is where water seeps out from the junction between two different sandstone strata (the Navajo and Kayenta layers) creating a year-round spring that nourishes hanging gardens of moss, ferns, grass and wildflowers. The water collects to form a small, tree-lined stream that trickles down the hillside for a short distance before joining the Virgin River as it flows around Big Bend, beneath Angels Landing.
After rejoining the shuttle we continued on to the end of the canyon and the Temple of Sinawava, a vertical-walled natural amphitheater nearly 3,000 feet deep. We walked out to the trail along the Virgin River and spent a half hour just admiring the view. Everywhere you look, shear walls surround you. From here we caught the shuttle back to the Visitors Center and returned to the car for the drive back to Glendale.
Another beautiful crisp spring day in the southern Utah mountains. Everybody was up early to greet the morning and say hello to the horses in the pasture next to us. We spent a leisurely morning relaxing until it was time to board the Hyundai Express for Zion Canyon National Park (http://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm).
Once the kids had their final walk we left camp around 10:30 AM for the drive south on US-89 to the Mt Carmel Junction and US-9 which runs into the park. Hwy 9 is a beautiful entry to the park with several tunnels and great hills of exposed sandstone, remnants of huge sand dunes. The most notable is called Checkerboard Mesa and is only a few miles past the park gate.Before long we passed through a real engineering marvel, the The Zion-Mt. Carmel Tunnel which is 1.1 miles long. It was blasted and cut in the thick Navajo sandstone during the early 1900's. The task of cutting through 2,000 foot thick sandstone, in those days, was not easy and blasting was used to enlarge the hole and railcars hauled off the debris. On the tunnel's south side, working on the tunnel was not any easy task because the drop off to the canyon below is 800 ft. As we drove through the tunnel we passed several "windows" of light that were cut into the tunnel wall right through to the outside canyon wall. Pretty cool!!
Once through the tunnel, we wound our way down into the canyon following a series of seven switch backs which dropped us about 750 feet to the floor of the canyon and arriving at Canyon Junction where we turned south to the Visitor Center. We tried to park here but couldn't find a spot so we drove 100 yards out of the park and found a spot on the road in front of the Zion Canyon Theater.
From here we walked back into the park to the visitors center and caught the tram that goes into the canyon. The tram makes seven stops in the canyon and we got off at five - Court of the Patriarchs, the Zion Lodge where we had lunch, the Angels Landing, Weeping Rock and the Temple of Sinawava at the head of the canyon.Getting off the shuttle at the Court of the Patriarchs we walked up a short trail to a viewing platform where we could see a trio of similar shaped cliffs. The Three Patriarchs are named: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and were named by Reverend Fisher an early area explorer.
At the Angels Landing we were treated to a view of the Great White Throne, Angels Landing and the Organ three of the most famous landmarks in Zion. The Great White Throne is impressive white topped monolith, rising more than 2400' above the canyon floor. The name, Great White Throne, was given by the same Methodist minister, Frederick Fisher, that named Angels Landing and the Three Patriarchs.

From here we caught the shuttle back to the Visitors Center and returned to the car for the drive back to Glendale.We were fortunate to have a nice day with temperatures in the canyon around eighty-five but with lots of breezes to keep things cool. And being in a canyon, we were seldom in direct sunlight. After we got home and walked the dogs, Don prepared hot dogs on the grill, Tina made potato salad and we had a picnic dinner. With a long day behind us we decided to watch a movie and head to bed early.

Bryce Canyon National Park
Thursday the 20th
Around 10:30 AM I took the car off the tow dolly and suggested we should head for Bryce in half an hour. Unfortunately Diane wasn't feeling well so she decided to stay behind with all the kids. So Don, Tina and I piled into the car and headed off for the 48 mile drive to Bryce Canyon.
We reached the Bryce Canyon (http://www.nps.gov/brca/index.htm) park entrance and stopped at the visitor center to pick up some information on hikes and pay our entrance fee, then it was back in the car to head for our first stop. About this time Tina said it would be good to get some lunch as she was feeling a little queasy from the elevation. So we went to Ruby's and had a very nice sit down lunch.
From there we drove to Inspiration Point for more photos then on to Bryce Point and Paria View before our return trip home. The views at each of our stops were absolutely breath taking and between the three of us we managed to take almost 350 pictures which will take a little time to sort out and upload to the web. We are in a limited service area so be patient, it may be a day or two before all our photos are sorted and cleaned up (bad ones and duplicates deleted).
The sun was shining on the sea,
shining with all his might,
but this was very odd you see,
as it was the middle of the night!
Don's two dogs, Candy and Toby, decided that morning starts at 4:30 AM, just as the first light of day is seeping over the ridge of the mountains behind us. Fortunately, we were undisturbed as our two kids continued to snooze until 7:00 AM, then everyone had a nice quiet morning for breakfast and walks.
Around 10:30 AM I took the car off the tow dolly and suggested we should head for Bryce in half an hour. Unfortunately Diane wasn't feeling well so she decided to stay behind with all the kids. So Don, Tina and I piled into the car and headed off for the 48 mile drive to Bryce Canyon.Heading north on Hwy 89 we drove through a beautiful valley with small ranches and communities dotting the landscape until we reached UT-12 and headed up into the hills where we entered Red Rock Canyon with exposed outcroppings of brilliant red rocks and spires. We made several stops in the canyon for pictures of the formations and rock arches we drove through - very cool!
We reached the Bryce Canyon (http://www.nps.gov/brca/index.htm) park entrance and stopped at the visitor center to pick up some information on hikes and pay our entrance fee, then it was back in the car to head for our first stop. About this time Tina said it would be good to get some lunch as she was feeling a little queasy from the elevation. So we went to Ruby's and had a very nice sit down lunch.With lunch taken care of we headed for our first stop at Sunset Point. We parked the car and walked out to the observation point overlooking the Bryce Canyon formation. After taking a lot of pictures (descriptions are useless, you have to see the pictures) we headed down into the canyon along a series of zig-zags (Queens Garden/Navajo Trail) taking photos as we went. Eventually we passed a trail work crew and came out among the trees near the bottom of the canyon where we turned around for the trek back to the top. The trip back took much longer as it was pretty much straight uphill and when you aren't used to breathing and exercising at 8,000 feet you need to stop frequently but eventually we reached the rim of the canyon.
From there we drove to Inspiration Point for more photos then on to Bryce Point and Paria View before our return trip home. The views at each of our stops were absolutely breath taking and between the three of us we managed to take almost 350 pictures which will take a little time to sort out and upload to the web. We are in a limited service area so be patient, it may be a day or two before all our photos are sorted and cleaned up (bad ones and duplicates deleted).We got home around 6:00 PM. Diane was feeling much better. Don BBQ'd some steaks for dinner and Tina made Orzo salad and we had watermelon for desert. After the dinner dishes were cleaned up and put away we played Uno for an hour then called it quits. Tomorrow we drive to Zion.

Las Vegas to Glendale.
Tuesday the 18th
Another beautiful day. The sun is shining and we are looking forward to the rest of our trip with pleasure. We spent the day with Don and Diane in their rig, playing games and waiting for the call to get the rig from the shop. Finally, around 3:00 PM, we got the call. So Don and I took the car and drove over to Freightliner in North LV. Half an hour later we were on the road back to Arizona Charlies.
With the sun shining down and the dogs anxious to get up we piled out of bed around 6:30 AM, planning to get on the road around 9:30 for the drive to Glendale. After breakfast and clean up Don came over with some concerns about weather and our schedule. So we spent some time looking at our revised itinerary and the weather forecasts. Everything looks ok except there is a lot of cold weather and a couple of Cold Rainy days ahead. Then we checked our route and Don spotted a flaw in my logic. Ooooopps! We can't get to Glendale via UT-9 as it passes through restricted tunnels. So we re-routed our trip route to go down and around through Kanab.
A little after noon, I decided to pull into a Flying J truck stop to top off as we would be going into the boonies and I didn't want to be short of fuel.
Ron was able to order a replacement hub and bearings. While he waited for it to come he filed and sanded the spindle as best as he could, then pulled of the tire on the other side, checked the brakes and lubed everything up. When the new hub arrived, he reassembled everything, packed it full of grease, put the tire back on and lubed all the zirk fittings. All within a couple of hours.
We were back on the road by 3:00 PM headed for Glendale. The rest of the drive was through absolutely gorgeous, rugged mountains and across high plains next to the Vermilion Cliffs before reaching our turn north through Kanab and into the mountains between Zion and Bryce. We gained an hour moving back into Mountain Time so it was just past 7:00 PM when we arrived at the KOA and got set up.

So Don and I took the car and drove over to Freightliner in North LV. Half an hour later we were on the road back to Arizona Charlies.The repair job on the RV was relatively simple, the radiator was clogged with debris and dirt due to a poorly designed oil vent tube. I was put in front of the radiator and as the oil vapor exited the end of the tube it would coat the front of the radiator attracting dirt, etc. With everything cleaned up and a rerouted vent tub, the mechanic checked out a few other engine code issues, replaced one of the exhaust brackets and did a test drive up to apex with no signs of overheating.
With the coaches set up for one more night Tina checked out the freezer and decided we needed to eat the beef ribs, so she made some great BBQ ribs and mashed potatoes for all of us with M&Ms for desert! After dinner we played Uno and Aggravation until 10:30 PM then called it a night.
Thursday the 19th

We can't get to Glendale via UT-9 as it passes through restricted tunnels. So we re-routed our trip route to go down and around through Kanab.Once we pulled out of our spot and hooked up the trailer we were on the road and looking for fuel. We bypassed our first choice and decided to get on the freeway and look for a truck stop. Sure enough, 20 miles NE of LV we found a Loves and fueled up. Then it was back on the road.
A little after noon, I decided to pull into a Flying J truck stop to top off as we would be going into the boonies and I didn't want to be short of fuel.While I was in the office getting the pump started, Tina took the kids for a walk. When she got back she pointed out that the left wheel on the trailer had smoke coming out of it. Not Good!! Once we were fueled, I pulled the rig forward and parked out of the way to look at it.
Don came over and between the two of us we couldn't really determine the problem. So I went back in the station and asked the attendant if there was a tire place nearby. He suggested asking the manager, so I did. The manager came out and looked at it and suggested taking it to his mechanic in St. George about 5 miles away. So we took the car off the tow dolly and headed for St George.
We pulled into the Shell station and saw the mechanic Ron, told him our story and he said to bring the dolly over to the service bay so he could look at it. Well, wheeling it over you could hear the bearings rumbling in the bad wheel. He started right in and took the wheel off, then the hub. As the hub came off out came all these little bits and pieces of bearings, bearing races, etc. Fortunately, the spindle wasn't scored too badly.
Ron was able to order a replacement hub and bearings. While he waited for it to come he filed and sanded the spindle as best as he could, then pulled of the tire on the other side, checked the brakes and lubed everything up. When the new hub arrived, he reassembled everything, packed it full of grease, put the tire back on and lubed all the zirk fittings.

Distance for today was about 260 miles. Total for the trip so far, 7,000 miles.

Hemet to Las Vegas
Monday the 17th
As we approached our on ramp we saw a traffic jam, fortunately it was almost cleared so we only had a fifteen minute wait before we were going north toward our rendezvous with Don and Diane. Surprisingly we both arrived at our meeting point within three minutes of each other. After a quick walk for the dogs it was back on the road headed up I-15 for Las Vegas, our first stop on the way to Yellowstone.
So I got out our "Emergency Roadside Service" card and called for a tow. I received very courteous help and as it turned out, there was a towing business located at the truck stop so our tow was set up quickly. While that was being handled, Don went and bought some fudge. We disconnected the tow dolly and receiver hitch and connected them to Don's RV and loaded the bikes onto the car rack.
With the coach taken care of for the night, we drove back into Las Vegas to Arizona Charlies Casino and RV Resort. Once we got Don & Diane in their space and hooked up we all loaded into the ca rand went over to the casino/hotel so Tina and I could get a room. Then it was off to dinner.
The alarm went off at 6:00 AM as we wanted to get an early start. Since we'd done pretty much everything yesterday, once the tow dolly was secured and the car loaded we were on the road by 8:20 AM headed toward I-215.

Surprisingly we both arrived at our meeting point within three minutes of each other. After a quick walk for the dogs it was back on the road headed up I-15 for Las Vegas, our first stop on the way to Yellowstone.Things went along well until we were about 80 miles from LV when our rig began to overheat. We managed to baby it along for another ten miles to the Cima Road Truck Stop where we pulled out to see if there might be a mechanic on duty. No such luck.
So I got out our "Emergency Roadside Service" card and called for a tow. I received very courteous help and as it turned out, there was a towing business located at the truck stop so our tow was set up quickly. While that was being handled, Don went and bought some fudge. We disconnected the tow dolly and receiver hitch and connected them to Don's RV and loaded the bikes onto the car rack.Amazingly, when the tow truck got there it was a big flatbed low boy. We watched as the driver dropped the back of the bed so it was on a tilt with the rear edge on the ground. Then the driver asked me to drive up onto the bed of the truck. With his help we got the rig up there and secured and were back on the road by 3:30 PM in a convoy headed for the Freightliner shop in North Las Vegas.
We got there by 5:00 PM and pulled into the yard. After talking to the office I drove the rig off the truck in the reverse of getting it up there. Eventually we were able to take a change of clothes, toiletries, etc., in our overnight bags then parked the coach in one of the service bays.
With the coach taken care of for the night, we drove back into Las Vegas to Arizona Charlies Casino and RV Resort. Once we got Don & Diane in their space and hooked up we all loaded into the ca rand went over to the casino/hotel so Tina and I could get a room. Then it was off to dinner.After a nice dinner in the Sourdough Cafe we went into the casino where Tina and Diane play the slots and I watched Don at the craps table. Forty-five minutes later, Don was up almost $50 and Diane had won a $200 jackpot on the penny slots. Tina donated twenty and I lost a dollar. Not bad!
After we took Don & Diane back to their rig we returned to our room to settle in for the night. I have instructions to call Freightliner in the morning so we'll see what happens from there.
Travel distance for this leg, 270 miles. Distance traveled to date, 6,740.

Palm Springs Tramway
Monday and Tuesday the 10th and 11th
Today it's warmed up again so we decided to drive to Palm Springs and ride up the tram. It's a surprisingly short drive - north out of Hemet to I-10, east on I-10 to CA-111, then south to Palm Springs making the turn onto Tramway Blvd for the three mile drive up a private road into the San Jacinto mountains.
After purchasing our tickets we spent 5 minutes in the tram waiting area and another 5 in the loading area. While our tram came down the mountain and neared the loading platform people were furiously snapping pictures. Tina seemed very relaxed as we boarded the tram for the ride up to the Mountain station. As soon as the doors closed our operator made several safety announcements and noted that there would be some swaying as we passed over the five lift towers along the way.
On reaching the Mountain Station we decided to have lunch while it warmed up a bit so we walked to the upper level to the "Peaks" Restaurant where we had a great view of the valley out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The restaurant is really very nice and there were about ten other tables on our seating level. Tina had the special, Tri Tip with mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables while I ordered the special Angus burger with avocado, bacon, cheese, tomato and a jalapeno spread. Both lunches came with a huge house salad of mixed greens. The salads were excellent as were our entrees. To have a really nice lunch in such a beautiful setting was a real treat!
After lunch we made our way outside and following a winding path down to the floor of Long Valley where we set off on a two mile hike along the perimeter of the valley. Part of the trail was called Desert View because we had great views down to the desert valley. By now it had warmed up a couple of degrees and it was easy to hike in comfort. EXCEPT for the elevation. At almost 9,000 feet up the air is thinner and when you exert yourself going up hill your heart begins to hammer in your chest as it cries for oxygen.
Soon we could catch a ride back down the mountain to the Valley Station. Arriving at our starting point we walked around outside and took some pictures of flowers, mountain sheep and Lady bugs before we made our way down to the car for the drive home.
We took these days off just to give us a break. Short bike rides, a little poolside relaxing and lots of reading in the sun.
Wednesday the 12th
Today it's warmed up again so we decided to drive to Palm Springs and ride up the tram. It's a surprisingly short drive - north out of Hemet to I-10, east on I-10 to CA-111, then south to Palm Springs making the turn onto Tramway Blvd for the three mile drive up a private road into the San Jacinto mountains.We got to the tram parking lot about 11:40 AM and walked up to the Valley Station. The Palm Springs Tramway (http://www.pstramway.com/) was completed in 1963 after two plus years of construction. Initially conceived in 1935, the idea took 15 years to really gain traction, then another 10 years for design, engineering and fund raising. Completed at a cost of $8.5M no public money was spent on the project. In 2000, there was a major upgrade to the cable cars as the worlds first revolving trams were installed.
After purchasing our tickets we spent 5 minutes in the tram waiting area and another 5 in the loading area. While our tram came down the mountain and neared the loading platform people were furiously snapping pictures. Tina seemed very relaxed as we boarded the tram for the ride up to the Mountain station. As soon as the doors closed our operator made several safety announcements and noted that there would be some swaying as we passed over the five lift towers along the way.Pulling out of the station the floor immediately started to rotate while the walls and windows remained stationary. Fortunately there were small grab rails around the inside of the tram so we could steady ourselves during the ride. As the tram wheels passed over tower one the tram set to swinging pretty good and everybody was surprised, especially those taking pictures when it happened. By the time we hit the third tower everybody was pretty relaxed about the swinging, even Tina.
The Valley Station is at 2,643 feet elevation and the mountain station is at 8,629 feet elevation, a 6,000 foot change. The temperature when we left the Valley Station was about 80 degrees. At the Mountain Station we had dropped about 30 degrees. The distance traveled up the mountainside is only 12,708 feet, a little over two miles and takes only ten minutes with the tram rotating once every five minutes.
On reaching the Mountain Station we decided to have lunch while it warmed up a bit so we walked to the upper level to the "Peaks" Restaurant where we had a great view of the valley out the floor-to-ceiling windows. The restaurant is really very nice and there were about ten other tables on our seating level. Tina had the special, Tri Tip with mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables while I ordered the special Angus burger with avocado, bacon, cheese, tomato and a jalapeno spread.

Part of the trail was called Desert View because we had great views down to the desert valley. By now it had warmed up a couple of degrees and it was easy to hike in comfort. EXCEPT for the elevation. At almost 9,000 feet up the air is thinner and when you exert yourself going up hill your heart begins to hammer in your chest as it cries for oxygen.Even though we have been bike riding and going for walks, neither of us are in really good shape so we felt the exertion but we weren't in any hurry so we took our time, admiring the views, watching the birds, listening to the sound of melt water running into Long Valley Creek and marveling at the size of the pine trees and the amount of snow still on the ground. Reaching the end of the loop we made our way back up the paved trail to the Mountain Station and visited the gift shop.
Soon we could catch a ride back down the mountain to the Valley Station. Arriving at our starting point we walked around outside and took some pictures of flowers, mountain sheep and Lady bugs before we made our way down to the car for the drive home.Arriving back at the coach an hour later we took the kids for a long walk, downloaded our pictures to the computer then made our way over to the clubhouse for dinner. Tonight we had meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy, rolls and vegetables along with coffee and a vanilla/banana custard for desert - all for $6 each. And just like last Wednesday it was really good. So we spent an hour over dinner visiting and having a nice time.
The rest of the evening we spent relaxing with TV and our books.
