Bryce Canyon

We are staying at Kodachrome SP, a stunningly beautiful hideaway amid the sandstone cliffs.    This is the view as you approach the park.   

And this is the view from our campsite....of course, the colors shift with the sun.   

    We have full hook-ups, we have a large site, we are the only Class A among the 31 sites, the ranger is very informative, the weather is perfect, we get satellite, we can have a wood fire and the beer is cold.     BUT....................there is no cell, no wifi, no 4G, no payphone.    We are 11 miles from Tropic, Utah which is the first blip on the cell connection and another 11 miles to Bryce Canyon and the restaurant we are sitting in, and eating the best fruit pie I have ever had !!  And the 2nd BUT......

 are miserable tiny black gnats that zip in your ears and nose and hair and make being outside mostly impossible.....the 40% Deet is worthless.   The ranger said its the only biting bug they have and only last a month.!!

 The weather is ideal......in the 50's this morning and near 80 in afternoon.   There have been very strong winds.....probably related to the same winds  that are decimating Colorado with the fires.   Today we went to the highest point at 9100 ft.  

And surprise, surprise, we got an email from old friends Cay and Ron who wrote that they are currently at Bryce !!   We met up with them in Canada last summer.   We made plans to have dinner tonight and then ran into them in the parking lot here at the Park this morning.   They've given us some good hints.  We'll look forward to catching up........Dean and Diane, why aren't you here too???

We leave Kodachrome on Monday and as yet, have no idea where we are going.......  But will try and check in again when we can.........
