Eroded Red Dirt on Steroids

Wednesday 27 May

Moved from Kodachrome SP over to Bryce Canyon National Park this morning.  Snagged one of the few remaining campsites inside the park.

As a side note, the Feds do offer at least one very nice perk.  For 10$, the OPP (Old Peoples Pass, aka Senior Pass) gives you free access to almost all US Federal Access Fee locations in the world. It also gets you campground sites at 1/2 price, typically $5 - $7.50 per night.  There aren't a lot of advantages to getting old, but that's one of them.

This afternoon we did a scouting trip out to the end of the 18 mile road through the park to see what we want to do for a couple of days.  Tomorrow will be a morning walk along the rim of the main canyon since we need to drive 1.5 hrs to UPS center in Cedar City UT to retrieve routing software backup discs Blaine sent out to us yesterday.  Thanks to her we don't have to shut down the trip early.  (Just kidding.)

The next day we'll do some more intensive hiking down to the canyon floor and back.
