July 29, 2006

I've named the RV Bessie, it seems to fit. Maybe Blue Bessie? Leon's daughter looked at it and said. "You must like blue". Bessie has been holding up well. I've figured out how to drive it. I've spent most of the day in first or second gear, jnot going more than 20 mph on a dirt/gravel road for the last thirty miles.

Can you believe my new camera, bought in Cedar City has died? I bought a throw away but no pictures today.

A thunderstorm passed over, gray to black on one side, blue with puff ball clouds on the other. Thunder crackles and then the rain, light and refreshing mostly. I sit in my RV high aatop the colorado Plateau. The forest road at 10 mph is bumpy and beautiful. This is part of the the Grand Staricase National Monument which eventually deepens to the Grand Canyon,. I see huge plateaus, deep canyons and gorges. Aspen becoming pine and spruce forests, wild flowers everywhere. Twenty more miles to the main road. Hell's Backbone Bridge is a one lane bridge with incredible drop offs on both sides. The vistas ahead show miles and miles.
On to Capital Reef National Park, I think.
