Gettin' away from it all

SUNDAY 25th
After checking out of Excalibur we had to venture out on the freeway in the RV this morning! It’s a bit of a beast with a V8 engine that’s very scary on fuel. The speed limit is 75 mph on a lot of the roads in Utah and Nevada but 75 (that’s 124 km/h) in a camper is a bit frightening so we’ve been cruising at 65 and getting overtaken by everyone. We saw two car crashes today too which were quite sobering and made me decide to stay at 65. So we headed north from Vegas on the I15 toward Salt Lake City but turned off the freeway, east to Zion National Park. Shari and I missed Zion on our 1994 trip so we’re quite keen to check it out this time. We arrived at about 3.30 and checked into the National Park campground and got our permits organised for some hiking tomorrow. The drive in was quite spectacular – it’s great to be away from the crowded city!
