Zion tomorrow for 5 days. Should be a leisurely 2 1/2 hour drive to the RV park just outside the East entrance. Thanks Don for that recommendation. Must-do activity suggestions needed for the wife & I; 3-4 mile round trip, nothing technical, blah blah. I would also like some ideas for more heinous pursuits for me to do solo. Is there a place like the Camp 4 bulletin board to troll for climbing partners?

Raining again today. Had a beautiful weekend with sun and mid-60s temps. Got outside for a little bit but mostly stayed inside painting the apt. also got some art work done. Only a month away until the next exhibit. Need to produce two more paintings (I think) to be ready. Starting the next two projects soon after.

Also, I would recommend hiking up the Zion Narrows. From the end of the bus its a mile trail. From there you wander in and out of the stream for 1/4 mile. Then wade through the stream for quite a bit. You can go up as far as you want before turning around. Very cool. The wife went a short ways with the 2 younger ones. I went 1/2 mile past the end of the trail with the older boy. For a short section it was kind of deep, but slow moving. Pulling my day pack up kept it out of water, and my 11 yo son did fine. Must do.

Tennis shoes will be fine for a short hike, but a bigger hike you'll want better traction and support. There are a number of shops in town that will rent you what you need, including wetsuits, if you plan to go big. I for one am wanting to go big. hopefully I'll get some time this Sept after I get the Axe.
