Today, we drove to Zion National Park. On our way out of the casino, I decided to blow $20 on slots. I walked out with a net gain of $0.08. Yay me!

I spent much of the drive trying to get WordPress to behave, but I finally wrestled it into submission before we made it to the park. Other than to say it was overwhelming and beautiful and humbling, I’ll let photos speak for themselves.
After we checked in to our AirB&B (see the first picture below for our view), we drove to a ghost town called Grafton. It wasn’t much of a town—a couple houses and a school/church—but the setting and evening light were unbelievable.

We rented some gear for our hike tomorrow because we’ll be wading through a river. Afterward, we had dinner at MeMe’s Cafe then wandered a bit and returned to our place. Tomorrow, our first hike.
