I had a bit of a panic attack right before the last stretch. Alauw said that this is what she came here to do. I told her I couldn’t do it and I would hike back down to the “sane stop”, for her to be careful and I would wait for her there.

I sat there by our gear for forty long minutes waiting for her to return. I felt so bad for pussing out and not going with her. When she finally returned safely, to me, she was so damn excited to tell me how awesome it was.

We headed back to the little tourist town of Springdale outside the park’s gates for lunch and a brew at the brewery. The steamed clam soup was great.

After lunch, we drove around the park and took photos.

We sacked out at the cabin for the rest of the evening and fell asleep early.

Friday 02/19

We woke, packed and headed out early again. We arrived around 9:00am to Bryce Canyon National Park. Because of the heavy snowfall days prior, we weren’t able to make any hikes. We did a driving tour and got out at all the posted vantage points to take photos.

We headed from BCNP to Durango to stay the night in a little bit of luxury, warmth and good cuisine at the Doubletree. On the way, we made one last stop. We just had to see Horse Shoe Bend. It was about a two hour time-killer but Jesus! It was worth it!

We got to the hotel around 8:00pm. We ordered room service and I headed down to the lounge. I visited with the bartender for a bit and found out that this was her first night back since COVID. The lounge had literally opened back up the day I got there.

We were headed back home on a two day drive in the morning so I was in bed by 10:00pm
