A Bryce place to visit...

Well we rolled into Bryce on Thursday after a little backtracking from the Grand Canyon. We passed the eastern entrance to Zion which we left a few days earlier.

On our way we stopped at the same gas station we hit on the way to the Grand Canyon. The first time I gassed up before we went to the adjoining market to get some groceries. It wasn't until then that we noticed we could save 15 cents a gallon on gas with the market receipt. It was too late to claim that savings on that gas up so we decided to use it the when we went by it again on Thursday. I got $111 worth of gas and save $4. Seems like that should be more. Rather anticlimactic after all that anticipation of savings.

We rolled into Bryce, or rather past it by about 15 miles. We were busy looking at scenery and I missed the turnoff for Bryce Canyon. Yes, its a big brown sign. Yes, I should have seen it, and if I didn't what the heck was I looking at? Whatever. It was a long drive and I don't have to explain myself to you.

We pulled into Ruby's Inn which is a rather famous stop just outside the entrance to Bryce Canyon. The RV park is the first private RV stop we have been in. It is a bit different than the national parks we have stayed in. Imagine a gravel parking lot. Now imagine I am in it. That's about it.

It does offer some amenities like a full hookup, meaning water, electricity, and sewer all within a hose reach of our RV. It also allows us to use the indoor pool at the inn which we took advantage of Thursday night. Teresa was a trooper and did the laundry. We ate in the RV and spent the coldest night yet, lower 20's. I am ready for some heat. Everybody here is saying they can't believe how cold it is. This is not looking good considering we need to travel north in a few days.
