Bryce Canyon Utah

so yesterday was tough
i slept more overnight
mostly out of exhaustion

spending the morning at a mcdonalds
and booking hotel in vegas
gave a light to the end of the tunnel

but then driving through utah started
to suck away that motivation

blew past salt lake city without noticing
thought about turning back
but the intersate is a mess
expanding lanes i guess
every off ramp was a mess as well

nowhere to turn off
and if you left the interstate
it was a pain to get back on

couldnt decide where to go
zion and bryce were on the list

but i just kept driving and driving and driving
my ass hurt
and the road just kept going

i heard good things about bryce
but the weather report there was bad
it sounded better at zion

my aunt carol said i had to go to bryce
i even called her
and she convinced to go bad weather or not

i stopped at mcdonalds
got an ice cream cone in town close
to where i had to make a choice

decided to skip zion and go to bryce

one reason i wasnt going to go to yellowstone
was i knew the drive through wyoming and utah (and idaho it turns out)
would mostly suck
and i was right
but yellowstone and beartooth were worth it
and bryce most certaintly worth it

again got the cliffs note version of the part
was only there two hours or so
but damn it was awesome just being on the edges

my one regret of going to yellowstone was
driving up and over the rockies
so if i ever go back home
figured i could hit zion and maybe arches
on the way to boulder/denver

still four hours from the grand canyon
so a bit of a hike in the morning
we will see how long i sleep

decided to go to south rim
which is the touristy one
so i can spend the day hopefully
riding buses
resting the car
for the drive into vegas
i have a date to watch the browns at 11 am on sunday
and then at least two nights of swimming pools
showers and hotel beds
