On August 8 we checked into the campground at Bryce Canyon National Park, where we were met by campground volunteers Janice and Steve (former cruising friends aboard Sailacious, now land cruising on their spacious Monaco camper) who directed us to our site. \u00a0The scenery at Bryce is spectacular. \u00a0Fiery thin red and orange “fins”, capped with hard concrete-like dolomite that retards their erosion, \u00a0some punctuated with windows and arches, \u00a0and pillars called hoodoos. \u00a0We took some free park tours and did some hiking on the rim trails and on the trails that descend down through the fins. \u00a0Have I said the sights are spectacular?<\/p>\n
We enjoyed spending time with Janice and Steve. \u00a0We shared many meals, including some delightful desserts, and played a variety of games in the evenings. \u00a0They also gave us a number of valuable hints and bits of advice about the camping life and the care and nurturing of our mobile home.<\/p>\n
When after four days we announced our intention to head to Capital Reef Nat’l Park, Janice and Steve decided to take some time off and join us there. \u00a0But to learn more about that experience, faithful readers must \u00a0tune in to the next exciting episode of Barb and Chuck Go Camping.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
