Photos Used In This Blog

Many of the photos I use in this blog will be made using my smartphone and others with my DSLR camera. I hope you will not mind me posting with the smartphone since we can do it while we are on the move and from any location where we have phone service. I think the smartphone photos will be of lower quality so I hope you will understand.

Thursday.. to Kanab, Utah

The temperature where we stayed at Heber City, Utah last night got down to 25 degrees. So far, I think that was our coldest temperature on this trip.
Tonight we are at Kanab, Utah. We are in a private campground tonight with full hookups. This is the first time we have had hookups (electricity, water, and sewer) since we were at Custer, SD on September 13th. We are about 560 miles now south of Jackson, WY.
We had a beautiful drive on some of the trip today. We came south on Interstate 15 but after we left the Interstate and came on highways, 20, 89 and other roads is where the beauty was at. We were running behind schedule to get to our reservations at the campground so we did not stop to make photos along the way. There were lots of oohs and aahs along the way remarking at the beauty. My brother had told me about a canyon drive he had been on and we tried to find it by taking roads that were marked Kanab Canyon. There were two of them several miles apart but each of the paved roads turned into an "unimproved road" so each time, we turned the camper around and continued toward the town of Kanab. I am including a photo where the pavement ended showing the red rock in that area.
Tomorrow, we will continue to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon where we plan to spend most of the day.
I am including a couple of photos from yesterday that I had not downloaded from the camera until tonight.

The view from our camper toward the Medical Center when we woke up yesterday morning. We stayed in the overflow parking lot. 

 We look back toward Jackson, WY. We really hated to leave. We really enjoyed being in that area.
