We again woke to wind whistling through the tree tops on a bright clear morning in Zion National Park.
Since we have been off grid since leaving home, Wilma got ready to take a shower in the camper. Turned on the hot water heater, hung the shower curtain, got all “need to stay dry” stuff out of the shower, checked the water temp in the kitchen sink. It was warm enough, so got in the shower. Turned on the water. COLD! Waited a while, checked again, COLD. After several more tries, gave up. Checked the temp in the kitchen sink again. Hot for an instant, then COLD. Heated water on the stove to wash hair. Before everything was back in shape, everyone else is waiting at the table for breakfast! Oh what a morning. But over breakfast we discussed the problem, and Barney came up with the solution, so now we have hot water and can try that again.

Then we headed out again to go to Bryce Canyon National Park. After finding camping spots, we headed for the VC. It had closed about 10 minutes before we got there, so we will have to do that one tomorrow. We went out to Sunset Point to see the view, and how awesome it is! We are staying through at least tomorrow night so will see most of the sights tomorrow. Barney wants to hike down in the canyon a little. At 8000 feet elevation, a little exertion goes a long way. Or at least you have to work to catch your breath! Also at 8000 feet elevation, it is a little cooler than earlier today when we were in flops and shirt sleeves. We think we will put on the extra blankets tonight! Still snow in the depths of the canyon, and it looks like some of the trails are closed because of it. It is a little early in the year to come here, but there are still quite a few people around, and we hear almost as many foreign languages as English.
After a light supper at the picnic table, we are tucked into the warmth of the campers, ready for a day of beautiful sights tomorrow. Good night from the Bedrock Bunch.
