We are on day 3, it’s Wednesday, we’ve eaten only trail mix, running low on gas, energy and patience. An if you every wondered “Hell No a 300wt inverter Will Not power a tiny 5 cup coffee pot” epic fail! Now we are just searching for the nearest gas station. Priority 1: COFFEE / Priority 2: gas / Priority 3: food 
We hit Meadows found all we needed then decided to further rejuvenate here 
No pics had to get down to our skivies 
Not sure if my book intentionally gave wrong/vague directions or not but after finding their site without rocks we ventured through the canyon and found lots. We gathered our buckets and decided to head on to real shelter for the night: 
We got there in much need of a hot shower, warm shelter an a soft bed! We opted for coffee and the bed 😂 (no husbands, showers NOT A PRIORITY) it did start sleeting. Upon waking we visited the local post office then off to see 1dave! It is always my pleasure to visit this wonderful man. An of course he’s never let me leave without a few goodies! Some things I didn’t take pictures of but all is so very appreciated 
The pictures do not do those fire agates justice! Dave I promise to make you proud one day! Per Dave we stopped right up the street to look in a special bowling alley (captbob) 
Now to take my sis site seeing 
off to Zion! 
. 
A little ways after the tunnel we pulled off to the side and went for a small hike in the gorge... 
I captured Chris’s rebellious other side 😂 
ok since Con held stead fast with “No stopping through the bridge” my sis did! 
Some Rock Shop pics outside Zion didn’t find any so refused to buy. 
We also went by an awesome gallery that zarguy, Lynn, and his wife display their jewelry. They are both so very talented. The owner is larger than life. A complete joy to converse with. It’s getting late so time to head back to Cedar City and get some sleep. We were suppose to wake the next day and meet up with Lynn for Holt Canyon. The weather decided to work against us. So yonder we went. It’s Friday and we picked up these purdys from our hotel flower bed
... then...

I was prepared to take the photo down for your own protection. It's amazing how people's minds automatically assume the worst - I'm guilty of it too - I thought that was a sharp rock in her hand.
