The Virgin River
We walked again this morning for an hour and a half and then another hour this evening. We are really getting our exercise here! We walk pretty slow, though, stopping often to look at things or take photos, so we're not burning as many calories as we would if we were moving a little faster.
I've been having battery issues again, so we drove off today into the nearby town, Springdale, and I did a little window shopping and stopped at a liquor store to get more wine. You can buy beer at the stores here in Utah, but anything else is only sold at liquor stores.
I also drove over to the Watchman Campground, where we'll be on Saturday, and checked out our campsite. It looks very nice, I definitely like that campground better with an RV. It looks like it was built for RVs, good flat areas to park and electricity - that will be nice.
When we got back I was talking to my neighbors, and I guess someone drove their RV into my campsite and started moving my leveling blocks, which are ORANGE and were stacked right where I needed them to drive back onto. Luckily my neighbors walked over and told them the site was taken. The people said, "There's NO ONE here!" Even if the site was completely empty, my tag is on the post showing the site is taken. I wouldn't have had a problem, but the hassle was averted, and I appreciated that. The site next to me, which had a tent when I arrived, has been empty since yesterday and no one has camped there. It's a nice site, too.
Critter photos from our walks today:
From Me and My Dog, have a great Thursday evening, everyone! :)
Beautiful pictures! Started reading your blog from day 1 today, skipped only a few posts and am now up to date. Some of your travels I have be on the same highway and bridges via a bicycle, too many years ago to count. :) Your blog is great information for people thinking about going the RV route full time.
ReplyDeleteHi You and Your Dog :) Don't worry about burning those calories, keep stopping and taking those pictures for us lucky readers. I love Zion. If you're looking for a good view, it's hard to beat Utah!
ReplyDeletegreat photos once again..glad the 'would be' crisis was averted!!..thank goodness for your neighbours!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another great post & all the gorgeous photos. Glad that the neighbor stopped the new folks from moving into your site.
ReplyDeleteYour posts with all the pics & travel are so relaxing. Thanks :)
I don't tow a car, either, and often wondered if someone would try to take my spot a campground if I left to go shopping or sightseeing. Zion is a great place to stay, how are the night time temperatures?
ReplyDeleteI sure am enjoying your tour of Utah, Barbara. Your pictures are just breath-taking. Loved the critter photos but missed seeing any photos of Katie today :(
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your adventures with us.
If you leave something such as chairs or a grill, it might get stolen. I think I would have a sign made (or make it myself) saying "SITE OCCUPIED. BE RIGHT BACK", maybe paint the sign in orange and the lettering in black, or some combination that can't be missed. I would be plenty mad if someone moved right into my space, especially when you left the leveling blocks there.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have had another beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteI too would be pissed if someone started moving the blocks.
Looks like u are in a nice spot there and the views are spectacular!!! Love the critters.
ReplyDeleteNice photos of the critters. Looks like a great spot, no wonder someone else wanted it. The sign sounds like a great idea. I also do not tow.
ReplyDeleteWe just got back to Oregon and have full hookups which means we can follow your blog again - awwww!! Love it... Looks like your still having lots of fun...

Looks like you are having a wonderful time! I'll be free to go as I pleas again after my daughter's wedding and a DR appt. Can't wait.. Enjoy yourself. Love your photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos - you ARE getting the big game now!
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you. I plan on looking at a small class c with no slide next week. How do you feel about being slide-less? Upsides and down? Thanks for the advice. You can PM me if you'd rather: raines100@yahoo.com
Great shots. Leaving some kind of message in your spot while you are gone is a good idea. Something like: My Spot - Bug Off or Can't You Read? or Private Keep Out! Yeah, I think I like that one best.
ReplyDeleteThe park has a great shuttle service which eliminates much of the traffic as well as the pollution other vehicles would create.
