We left Ely, NV, and entered Utah on what must be the 2nd lonliest highway in the country. We stopped for gas in Baker, Nevada. The "station" was two pumps and a soda machine out in the middle of nowhere...not a person in sight! At one point we saw something in the road probably a mile ahead. As we got closer, we realized it was three antelope! We had lunch in the RV in Milford, Utah, a cute former railroad town. Our mostly boring drive was rewarded when we entered Zion National Park to the north. We drove through Kolob Canyon surrounded by beautiful rock canyons. We also entered the park from the south and took a couple of hikes. By the time we returned to our RV park in Cedar City it was 7:30 pm. Everything is so spread out here in the west...yet it looks so close on the map! We may have overextended our expectations so we have adjusted tomorrow's schedule...we will cut out Bryce Canyon Park and just drive to Moab, maybe go to a winery, walk around Moab to shop and have dinner.
