Catching up

The riders are heading home and while we have been posting pictures we have been lacking in our narratives. The main reason is that I am tired, Gail has reminded me that I am not 23 anymore and driving all day and drinking all night can take its toll over 20 or so days. I will try and catch up.
Zion is a great canyon, the colors are striking and roads are scary. The park has a shuttle but the riders had to move on and decide to drive on their own!! After winding up the mountain and round the curves we made it out safely. There is one tunnel that is over a mile long, the riders had to challenge the RV's and buses to make it through and we were succcessful.
Bryce Canyon has hoodoos. For those of us who are not geologists a hoodoo is a rock formation that looks like a tower. It is formed through the action of water and ice on rock. They are very impressive as the light hits them during sunset. Ps. Gail said it was romantic.
After Bryce we drove to Page Arizona to spend the night and left the next day for Durango Colorado. Durango was a whole new adventure which I will blog later.
