Friday, June 30, 2006 - Cedar City, Utah

When we woke up, we had a quick breakfast, finished packing, and set off for Cedar City.  As we drove out of Zion, we saw areas along the side of the road where the fire had burned down to the road.  When we arrived at the KOA, we were told that the checkout time was 11:00 and someone was still in our space.  We waited until 11:00 and the people still had not checked out.  While we were waiting, another girl who works at KOA asked us if we would like to go into another site next to the one assigned to us.  We readily agreed.  She guided us into our site and we set up the camper.  While we were waiting for our camp site to become available, we checked to see if we had cell phone service here.  To our dismay, we did not seem to have any cell phone service.

We wanted to come to Cedar City so we could stock up on supplies like water before we went back to the national parks.  We were hoping to find Costco but had to settle for Wal-Mart.  When we were driving into the city earlier, we noticed where Wal-Mart was located.  After getting settled into our camper, we headed out to Wal-Mart.  While we were doing our shopping, Susan checked out her cell phone and found a very strong signal.  Susan asked Bob if he wanted to call his mother and sister.  After Bob talked to his family, Susan called her mother and then Julie.

When we left Wal-Mart, we found Jiffy-Lube where we had an oil change.  Bob thought that we needed an oil change after pulling our camper after so many miles.

Jenny called Susan and talked to her on her way home from work.  It is so nice to talk to family.
