Days 57 & 58-July 25 & 26

Our journey today has brought us back to Mountain Time Zone.  I guess our summer really is drawing to a close.  We still have 5 more parks to visit before heading for Alabama in earnest.  Our first stop will be to get the truck serviced and the laundry done.  No matter how much fun our trip has been we still have certain chores that must be accomplished.  Cedar City, Utah was large enough to take care of both of these issues, but it did take up most of our afternoon.
We left Cedar City headed east on Hwy. 14.  This mountainous road gave us great views of the distant bluffs in Zion National Park to our south.  We also passed large areas of lava flow left behind by a volcano in the distant past.  Since we have been away from services for quite some time we decided to stop at a campground that has Internet so that I can get caught up with the blog.   It was a great idea, but the wi-fi didn't work so I still didn't accomplish anything.  It rained most of the night and was still raining in the morning so we moved to another park close by and have taken this day to rest up.  We want to see the sunshine on the rock formations in the park and are hoping for a better day tomorrow.
Jess took a nice nap and I typed until late afternoon.  The weather cleared enough for a walk through Red Canyon.   We needed a little exercise to compensate for the scrumptious homemade pies that the local restaurant is famous for.
