Day 36 - Monday, March 8

Patty and Laurie left for home this morning (Ellen drove them to the St. George airport) and I left Zion National Park for a private RV Resort about 15 miles south.  It is very difficult (for me) to deal with camping in wet weather in public campgrounds (state and national parks), not because I mind being wet or cold, it's all the mud and dirt to deal with having two dogs.  Most state and national park campgrounds, even with paved interior roads, are dirt campsites.  Most private RV parks are paved roads and campsites.  I love our "children" and would not even think of traveling without them, but when it's raining I'll pass on the beauty of public parks and go for the more "pricy" private parks.  We have not had this problem most of the time we have traveled Southwest for the winter, but this year has been different - colder, wetter, and muddier.  So we may hang out here at the RV "Resort" and do drives in the area until it dries out around here.  The forecast is for more rain and colder temps the next two days. We have talked about going back to Southern California, but we may just ride things out here and wait for the improved weather later this week.  Don't know what we will do - stay tuned!
