Another beautiful day in Zion National Park

Yesterday afternoon Katie and I walked to the Visitor's center to see what was there.  Katie couldn't come in, so I tethered her outside the building and ran in to get whatever they have in the way of free maps or brochures.  She did just fine, I could see her from the large windows, so I wasn't worried.

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.
