Moved to Central Utah

Thursday we drove back to the Navajo Bridge where Lee's Landing is so we could make some cell phone calls and I took pictures of rafters coming down the Colorado River.  Definitely want to do this some day!

Here they come!

Would be an amazing trip!

Passed under Navajo Bridge

With the Memorial Holiday weekend upon us, we had to move from Jacob Lake's Kaibab Camper RV Park due to our spot being reserved for someone else.  That's okay, we needed to move to where there was sunshine, warmer weather, new scenery.  We made reservations for the campground we are in 2 weeks ago, knowing how fast the sites fill, Memorial Weekend being the official start of camping for most weekenders.  We did not know what our weather would be as we moved, rained off and on, and cold - only reached 51 yesterday, our travel day.  Sort of a dismal day to move - and a long one.  We left the campground by 9am, moved into Daylight Savings Time within 45 minutes traveling north and crossing into Utah, and slowly worked our way north and east to central part of the state.

The ride was uneventful, only managed to run over 1 snake (a big one!) and saw more of Utah than we had seen before.  Snow capped mountains in the distance near Salt Lake City, but now we are sitting 3 miles from the entrance to Capitol Reef National Park.  After visiting this park sometime in the next week we would have completed another 'bucket list' of a place to visit. This park, along with Zion, Bryce, Canyonlands, and Arches completes the "Grand Circle of Utah" that these parks are known as.  We also took in a couple of monuments that also are within reach - Escalante, Vermilion Cliffs, Glen Canyon, touched Monument Valley.  So much to see just in this area.

Escalante Staircase - Utah 

Beautiful!

Hopefully the weather will clear enough - forecast for rain for next 4 days, so we will see.  We are in the middle of nowhere - have to drive at least 2 hours to get to an airport or large city.
