Zion



Zion National Park was amazing. Probably the best park that we've been to on this trip - Matt and I hiked up the Narrows. Which is basically an unmarked hiking trail, up a river, and between these crazy sheer rock canyon walls. They warn you that there are flash floods there all the time. But we took the chance anyways. Hiking up it was a pain - literally, hidden rocks were trying to sprain our ankles at every turn. But we floated all the way back down the river by holding our breath.

Did you know that Mormons cannot drink coffee? or tea? or beer? They made Matt carry their beer, because they didn't want to be seen by any members of their church.

Don't know what to tell you about Vegas - it's all plaster and Styrofoam. It's all razzle dazzle, casino bullshit - everywhere you look it's - an Adult Mag store, a liquor store, a tittie bar, a big flashing casino, some fast food, and a smoke shop. It's hot. I'm not sure if their water is drinkable.

Well that certainly blow if your road trip had to come to a premature end or for that matter any delays.

Of course my disappointment is mostly self-indulgent since I'm anxiously awaiting the Ohio leg of your return trip.

Oops...I meant would blow if your trip came to an end early.

Very sorry to hear that you might have to cut your trip short. Shame because I think you are one of a kind to begin with and then to do something like this made you even more special.
