Hi All, sorry for no posts in last few days....all is well here but because of the shutdown this campsite is full to overflowing and therefore the wifi is flaky :( At least like so many others we are not having to boon dock in the local Walmart car park....
So far we are fine and the only thing we have missed out on was a lake boat trip yesterday as it leaves from the marina which is part of the National Park......
We feel so sorry for the Park Rangers (we have nothing but respect and admiration for the parks service) and others affected by this crazy situation, if the politicians didn't get paid then this situation would have been solved days ago.....don't get us started.....
So many folks like our friends Pat and Simon have had their holidays cancelled at the very last minute....there was talk on the news yesterday evening of even closing the main road from Williams to the Grand Canyon......
We have our next campsite booked until 8th, we leave wonderful Lake Powell Saturday and move up to Monument Valley....at least we can be flexible and hopefully ride out the storm which is more than a lot of folks can do.......
The next posts should be the mind blowing Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons.......
Until later...
Yorkieman and Mrs Blogger....
Hi Both!
ReplyDeleteGlad all is well and you are surviving the "shut down", what a strange situation for a country like USA to be in. Looking at your recent photos and all that sunshine makes us feel quite wistful. Carry on enjoying - we'll struggle through, try not to worry about us...

We could not agree more with your comments Sue. We managed to get into Yellowstone National Park the day before the shutdown and because we had booked one night at an RV site within the park we were allowed to extend our booking to another three nights giving us four days in total. It was quite spooky though as everyone started leaving the park, we felt like royalty as had it nearly to ourselves at the end. We visited Old Faithful and viewed it erupting with probably only ten other people around us. ThePark Rangers were magnificent doing a very difficult job while also trying to be as helpful as possible. Lets hope the US government gets this sorted out sooner rather than later. T&M x
