Destination #2: Canceled
A number of factors conspired against us when it came to destination #2: Zion National Park, Utah. My appointment with the chiropractor the afternoon/evening prior meant heading out of Flagstaff way later than planned. And we weren’t in the mood to drive late into the night. So instead we opted to stop at Jacob Lake, AZ just outside the entrance to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Then if we felt like it we’d head to Zion in the morning for a quick bouldering session and then on to destination #3.
Well, we didn’t feel like it. Plus it looked like it was going to storm, everywhere, which it did, all day, across all of Utah. So we instead spent the day leisurely making our way toward destination #3, amidst glorious rain and beautiful rainbows and an entertaining group of mountain bikers at a gas station having just ridden all morning and were now stuffing their faces with gas station pizza, nachos, cinnabons, soda, corndogs, you name it. “Look at those boys eating all that junkfood!” Silas says between giggles as he gawks out the van window at them.
Our campsite at Jacob Lake. Nice little campground if you’re ever passing through.
Happy boys
