Getting ready to go camping

Every summer, we end up going somewhere in the west for about a week to camp.  We enjoy the scenic beauty our country has to offer, plus spend some time recharging batteries.  Geocaching comes into play as well as it's one more thing the two of us (my youngest and I) enjoy doing together.

Last year, due to major scheduling conflicts we weren't able to go camping, so it's been two years and we are really itching to go.  The plan is to leave next Monday for Zion National Park in southwestern Utah.  We plan to spend four nights there, then head over to Bryce Canyon National Park where we'll spend the next three nights before coming home on Monday the 25th.


If everything goes well, we should also be able to have a day trip down to the north rim of the Grand Canyon.  Capital Reef National Park is also a possible day trip once we get over to Bryce Canyon.  Of these, we've been to all of them before with the exception of Zion.  Actually, I've been to Zion a couple of times, but my youngest hasn't been there yet.  We're both looking forward to that.


The photo is more of a whimsical type of photo that I stitched together using PhotoShop Elements 9.  It just shows that I can enjoy my summer getting ready to go camping while also working hard.  It probably will look better if you view the real deal as opposed to the small package seen here.
