Bryce Canyon, Utah
Today
we were going to take the shuttle but we discovered that the shuttle
only works from Ruby’s Inn to the end of Bryce Amphitheater at Bryce
Point. We decided to drive to the end of the scenic drive at Rainbow
Point and stop at the scenic overviews on the way back. We stopped at
Rainbow Point, Black Birch Canyon, Natural Bridge, Swamp Canyon, and
Bryce Point. While at Bryce Point, Susan noticed a very strong signal
on her cell phone and decided to call Jenny who was at work. We talked
for a short time until Jenny had to get back to work. She said that she
was sitting in for the supervisor and the phone was ringing. Susan
asked Bob to drive through the campground at Sunset. We had camped out
in Bryce Canyon when we visited about thirty years ago when Jenny and
Robby were little. Susan remembered how pretty it was to look out the
window of the camper. She wanted to see if she could find where we
camped. We agreed that it must have been at this campground. On the
way back to the camper, we stopped at the Visitor’s Center to see the
twenty-minute video about Bryce Canyon. There was closed captioning
under the screen but this time there was sound. Susan also bought
another music CD. When we returned to the camper, Susan started reading
A Wedding in December by Anita Shreve while Bob worked on the
computer. After a while, Bob suggested that we go out for dinner. We
walked to Ruby’s Inn where we checked out the restaurant and the diner.
Neither one appealed to us so we drove to Bryce Canyon Lodge where we
had a very nice dinner. After dinner, we drove to Bryce Point so that
Susan could call her mother before returning to the camper. We have a
weak signal on the cell phone at the camper. |
