Sedona (10/5-10-19)

On 10/5 we moved unto Sedona. Our itinerary was to stay at Rancho Sedona RV from 10/5 until 10/25. 

Friday night at Bryce I was running a slight fever and I was sure that I had a sinus infection. Problems breathing and aches. On Saturday I felt fine, no fever at all. Sunday night the fever returned at 101 and we decided when I got to Sedona I would go have it checked out. Tuesday morning I went to an emergency center in Sedona and was diagnosed with a probable sinus infection. Because we were having Jen and family visit and we had been traveling with Carol and Skip I decided to take a Covid-19 test. 

The news came Thursday morning, I had tested positive. The doctor recommended that we quarantine for ten days. This Thursday will be 10. We booked this campground about a year and a half ago and we were both looking forward to getting the best that Sedona had to offer during our time here. Instead we have seen the inside of our RV during all of the beautiful days we have been here.

Fortunately I must have had a very minor case and even though Eileen felt weak she never had a fever and nothing except for some aches. We have decided to see Jenni for one day (Social distance of course) on Sunday and then head home. 

I have lost interest in the blog for now, so I'll probably do a summary when I get home around the end of October. This year just continues with it's curve balls but we are still around so things are good.

See Y'all in the end of October.

Bryce Canyon (10/2-10/5)

 On Friday 10/2 we departed Virgin Utah and headed the long way around to Bryce Canyon. Two years ago I thought I had said goodbye to Bryce for the last time. Not the case. This is by far one of the most beautiful NP's in this country and I love just looking down into the HooDoo's as well as enjoying the beautiful vista's.

It's also an easy park to see because many of the vistas are right along the main road. The best way to see the park is to drive straight in to the end to Rainbow point and work your way back stopping at the pull offs along the way. I think the best views are: Rainbow Point, Natural Bridge, Inspiration Point, Bryce Point, Sunset Point and Sunrise Point, but many of the other pull offs offer magnificent views. 

There are a number of great hikes down into the Hoo Doo's (spires of beautiful rock), ATV tours, horseback rides into the valleys and much more. We went into the park on Saturday and Sunday which is by far the worse days to visit any of the NP's. (Crowds) It was a great visit and very nice, once again, to take in the beauty of this place. 

Ruby's Campground is also one of my favorites. Beautiful big sites, nice store, restaurants, and all the amenities you need. We had sites near the rear of the campground and enjoyed a nice fire on Saturday night. 

Monday morning we hooked up, said goodbye to Carol and Skip and headed for Sedona. Carol and Skip were heading to Lake Powell and on to the Durango Area. I think I will probably be back here again someday it's just to beautiful to stay away. Pictures don't do justice to this beautiful place!
