Watchman Campground, Zion National Park
Life a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbor. ~ Proverbs 25:18
NOTE: It’s currently June 12th. I have strong service and lots of posts to do. Wonder how far I’ll get?
This being our last full day in Zion, I took an early morning walk around the campground/Visitor Center area. It was quiet. It was lovely. It was a great way to pray this morning.
Tomorrow, is actually today. YIKES!
Beautiful!
Once I returned, I spent the morning working our the Angel’s Landing post. Blaine was busy with his own brand of paperwork. He received an email from Rocky Mountain National Park that they are now doing scheduled entry into the Park (to keep crowds down due to COVID-19), so he spent the morning figuring out what we had to do to gain access during our time there (July 9-23), and then printing our passes for us. It took him almost as long to do that, as it did for me to get my post finished, but now we’ll be able to enter the Park. 😊
Just after noon, we decided to get out and ride around the Park a little, but it was so stinking hot, we weren’t able to be out long. ☹
It looked a lot worse in the media picture we saw.
Today was a two-meal day, and around 3pm, we left home and returned to Oscar’s restaurant to try out their Mexican offers. Oh. My! It was even better than the burgers!
Sooooo good!!!!
In fact, Blaine enjoyed his flautas so much, he’s insisting I find a recipe. : )
Since we never completed our shopping venture, we walked off our dinner and went shirt-shopping. Here’s what we came away with:
The front of one of Blaine’s. 
The back. : )
Nothing on the back.
After dinner, we climbed into the Jeep and drove down past the Patriarchs towards The Narrows. We were so happy to find the road re-opened now. Not only were we able to soak up the views one last time, we also completed the only trail in the Park that we hadn’t done – – at least that was open to us. It’s called The Grotto, and easier than we’re used to, but it was shaded so it was cooler, and we were able to get in about a mile’s worth of steps. Beautiful views – – as with everywhere in this place!
Driving further down the road, we stopped at Big Bend to look around, and found a trail alongside the road that took us into the center of the mountains. I’m not kidding. The. Center. We were completely surrounded! Blaine even took a short video showing it, but he did it really quickly and it kinda makes you dizzy to watch it. 😊 I can’t show it to you though, because my laptop wouldn’t accept it. Must’ve made it too dizzy, too.
On it’s left is The Organ, on the right is Angel’s Landing.
It’s the rectangle one on the right.
Doesn’t look the same from here. : )
Tomorrow we move on. I’m certain at least one tear will be shed . . . .
