That was a lot of driving

[dmaze]

Tromped through the Southwest for five days and two thousand miles. Saw the Grand Canyon, hiked into it and survived. On the way back, passed through Zion, stopped over in Las Vegas, had a miserable round of blackjack, and finally made it back to my parents' place. I should be somewhat network-enabled, and back in Boston on Saturday night. If you're in San Francisco and want to get together, send me e-mail.

Not having any idea what you were talking about, I was pretty worried (picture black coats, sunglasses, orgies, motorcycles) when I was that Zion was a .gov link.

Zion is my favorite national park ever. I was really impressed with the eco-friendly visitor center and the buses rather than cars to get around the park. I want to go back and do a real canyoning trip.

In a rare burst of social activity, I actually have things I need to do for the next few nights, so I'll probably miss you.

We didn't actually spend any time in Zion, we mostly just drove through. The south rim of Grand Canyon was much the same way, though: it turned out to be pretty practical to park in the furthest parking lot from anything and just take the shuttle busses around. The Zion visitors' center was pretty cool, though, as was that their backcountry office was inside the main building.
