Very nice indeed.
We arrived at the park by driving over Hoover Dam. Looked kinda cool, but the narrow twisty tourist-filled road occupied all our attention, and we certainly didn’t see a parking spot for us. So we cruised on by.
We were planning to see Las Vegas yesterday, before departing for Zion National Park today. Then Jenna found an article in the local paper that Vegas has slipped from #1 to #2 in the nation for car theft. In other words, a lot a people steal vehicles there.
We gotta desirable truck. Losing it would be a disaster for us - unable to tow anytime soon, and very hard and time consuming to replace it for reasonable money. So we didn’t go at all. (Remember that we fled Atlantic City NJ together almost 30 years ago, so we already know from gambling.)
Instead, we visited nearby Boulder City, "The Town that Built Hoover Dam.” A pretty, somewhat quaint place, with no gambling, strict controls on growth.
Tonight we stop at a small park in St George UT outside of Zion NP. Then eight days at the park, with side trips to Bryce NP and other natural beauty.
Dunno if we can connect to the Net. If not, no posts for a week or so. Bite your lip in anticipation.
