Road Trip Day 1

Posted July 8, 2010

Day 1 of road trip in the books.  We are now in Springdale, UT, just a mile or two from the entrance of Zion National Park.  The drive for the most part was smooth with barely any traffic, other than the 20 min slow down from a stalled car on the 15.  When trying to get to Utah from SoCal, you need to drive through the desert.  For most of the trip, the outside temperature reading on the Prius read 99 to 104 F.  At one time, it read 111 F.  Hot, hot hot.  After a long week of packing and a long drive, I’m utterly exhausted.  Here are some of today’s pictures.
