Final night at Sand Canyon State Park, UT

I found a new use for my camera - I can use it as binoculars.  Since the zoom is 18x, if I want to see something close up from The Palms that's down the road quite a ways, I can aim the camera and zoom it in.  So look out, keep your curtains closed.  :)  Just kidding.

This morning I saw some rustling in a bush across from The Palms, and I got the camera out to see what it was, and I could see the bushes very clearly.  I didn't see what made it rustle, but I've wanted a pair of small binoculars, and this camera is exactly that.  I could use it at a game or show, etc., to see the action better. Cool, huh?

Although this campground has full hook-ups, there is also an OHV accessible campground with some hookups and some primitive camping areas, too.  These are the facilities in the campground I'm in:

Restroom
Five shower rooms - nice because you can always find a shower that's available.
Inside of shower room. 

I really like these showers, because they are private rooms with hooks for hanging, a bench to put things on, and the outer room stays dry.  The shower was hot (a tiny bit too hot for me) and is a push type knob.  When you push the knob, the water sprays out in a good spray for about 8 seconds. Then you have to push it again each time for another spray.  

The rest room and showers were very clean.

Isn't this a pretty lizard?

Three birds in the bush.

Did I hear a critter?

 I think I see him!

 There he is!

 Our last sunset at Sand Canyon.


Did you know some Utah Freeways are 80 miles per hour?

Tomorrow we leave Sand Canyon.  I need to do laundry and then shop for groceries, so I plan to overnight at Walmart and then see if we can get a "walk-in" site at Zion on Wednesday morning.  Our reservation starts on Saturday.

From Me and My Dog, have a great Monday night, everyone!  :)
