I think I got out of order- this was a very interesting park near the Bolser\u2019s house in St. George. After our tire replacement\/alignment, we headed to Snow Canyon to see Jim, Carrie, Sydney and Jon. We had a couple of nice visits with them, played cards and ate food. You know- the usual family type events. We did have a special outing to embarrass Sydney while she worked at Wendy\u2019s- and we got Orange creamsicle frosties too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our site was very private and quite nice, if a bit hot!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is true desert- hot, dry and lots of American Desert Tortoises! We did not have electricity (read that as NO AC!) so it was a bit different for us. We backed into a canyon against the beautiful red and pink rock walls and had a lot of privacy. We enjoyed early morning hikes and drives looking for tortoises and peregrine falcons. So many reptiles but we did not see any Gila monsters. We did see a couple different snakes – a bullsnake and a king snake I could identify. Not rattlers, which is fine by us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visit was pretty short but fun. As usual Dave\u2019s Pictures will be nicer than mine and a button will be added soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
