Zion to Duck Creek

5th May – Zion to Duck Creek

We said our farewells to Herb and Randi, and Harley, and had a short drive of about 40 miles to Duck Creek Village.  The road climbed continually up to nearly 9000ft elevation to the top of the mountain where there was …. Snow!  Having been in Zion at around 25C we were suddenly down to 10c



We found a campsite which hadn’t really opened for the season yet and had reduced facilities (no showers) but was half price (around £5/night).  There were only 4 other campers here.  It is in a forest, by a lake on top of a mountain and so peaceful in contrast to busy Zion.

 

 
We drove down to Cedar City in the afternoon for shopping and to get a phone signal to ring the bank that have put a stop on the debit card AGAIN!  Despite emails telling the bank our travel plans, they still put a stop on the card each time we use it in another state – very frustrating.   

6th May – Gone Fishing

We had a quite day in the forest, by the lake.  Paul went fishing and Alison had a quiet day resting, reading a book, doing the blog, and going for a walk. 

 
Despite the snow and sleet showers, Paul had a very successful days fishing.  By the end of the day Paul had caught 14 trout! The smaller ones went back in but we had a delicious dinner, and put four in the freezer.
