Instead of sitting around feeding the slot machines we dediced to pack up and head for Bryce Canyon, figuring it was the closest thing to see within a days driving distance. We got there near dusk and found a camping spot just inside the park. We made supper on the grill and sat around the fire afterword, burning the dry as a bone firewood Chuck bought from the campground attendant.
It was a cool (downright cold) night and I woke up at 2am to stretch outside the camper. It's true that you can see many more stars at night and I wish I'd taken a few pictures. But it was a beautiful campground and the scenery was other worldly.
In the morning we packed up and toured much of the rest of the park where most of the following photographs were taken. Like everyone else we wished we'd had more time to spend there. Maybe someday.
