I'm hunched over my laptop on a laundry machine in the Cannonville KOA just south of Bryce Canyon NP. This has proven to be the spot with the strongest WiFi signal. We are sooo enslaved by our tech gadgets ...

On the brighter side, our RV battery has held up for a record 6 nights without recharging - a major bonus when staying at state and national park campgrounds, which tend to be "primitive" (meaning no hookups available). But it also means no blogging, and stealth late night trips to the bathroom outlets to recharge camera batteries and make backups.

So we've "seen" Salt Lake City, meaning that we took a guided tour of the Mormon Temple Square, which made for some interesting conversations with our kids. Stopped at the Yuba Reservoir state park for one night, then drove to Zion NP where we stayed for three nights and did lots of hiking. Two nights at Bryce Canyon NP, where Elias & Joel went on a 2-day, 20 mile backcountry hike. Now we're on our way to Escalante National Monument.

Oh yes, the pics:

Just catching up! Lots of beautiful things in Yellowstone and Zions. Love all the photos and notes. We hope you are safe and not getting any fall illnesses. We've been plagued lately.
