Day 14 April 19, 2015
This was a down day. Day
of recovery and prep for travel. Had to go grocery shopping and do
laundry. Since tires are so important,
it was a day to check out their condition and make sure all fluids are
okay.
Day 15 April 20, 2015
Beginning our 3rd week on the road. It really doesn’t feel that we have been gone
that long. Our schedule has been rather hectic,
but yesterday allowed us to catch up a little.
Today we drove a very short distance up to Glendale, UT, from there we
drove up to Bryce Canyon and on over to the Kodachrome Basin. In Bryce we were just getting a game plan for
later this week. Driving down to
Kodachrome Basin we passed through many areas that were settled by the Mormons around
the turn of the 19th century.
The Kodachrome area is a very unique geological area.
I can’t describe the uniqueness but maybe the
photos will show some of it. One of the monoliths is over 170' in height and it absolutely protrudes from a cow pasture.
This area
is actually named for the slide film KodaChrome. Since National Geographic had so much with
this area being preserved and their main film was KodaChrome and the president
of National Geographic for years was Grosenover (forgot first name). There is an arch named for him.
We passed through Red Canyon
on our way up to Bryce. I would say WOW, but this is one word that we
have over used so much on this trip.
