Roxie and I made the move into Bryce Canyon this morning, the trailer is parked at Sunset Campground, the satellite internet system is up and running (you can see me on a map here - I'm #4607 - and with GoogleEarth you can see where we are located in a satellite image), and tomorrow I begin training as a Volunteer Interpretive Ranger.

I ventured into the canyon for the first time ever this afternoon with a hike down Queen's Garden Trail from Sunrise Point. Getting there was easy; getting back up was a different story altogether. There was a lot of huffing and puffing going on. I really need to spend less time with this computer and more time walking at this altitude (the hasty lunch of crackers and cheese probably didn't do much for my stamina, either). I'm glad I didn't take my full photo backpack and tripod along.
