Out of Frying Pan, Into Fire (5/25/14)

Due to the way that the Boulder Beach Campground changed due to the influx of vacationers from campers, we decided to move to the other end of the park. We took our time moving out today and were on the road by about 9:45. The drive to the next campground (Echo Bay) was only about 60 miles, but 60 miles of spectacular desert. The scenery had to be some of the dramatic that I’ve ever seen. In many ways, it surpassed that of the Grand Canyon. As we drove, the temperature just kept climbing. We got to the campground and set up around lunch time. As we sat in the camper, the temperature just kept climbing and climbing, reaching a high of 99 degrees. We kept the new fan blowing on us and kept rehydrating and using bandannas to keep our skin moist. As the evening came on, I moved out door to find that the next part of the campground was into their music, just like last night! I stayed out and enjoyed the breezes while Barbara decided that she would rather stay in the camper with the 95 degree temperature. Hopefully, the temp will drop during the night and allow us to sleep. Tomorrow, we will be on the road early. We’ll pick up I15 north of Vegas, go through a small corner of Arizona and arrive in Utah. Hopefully the visitor center will be helpful in assisting us to get a plan of attack for seeing Utah. We are down to 20 days until we will be in Dallas and I’ll have to keep a close eye on mileages so we can get there in time.
