After waking up in the middle of a valley covered in Utah we were ready to get going. The wind and cold in Otter Creek ruined my sleep. I ended up sleeping in the van for some quietness, which I did get, though it was still freezing.
After a very fast pack up we were off to Bryce Canyon. It was one of the most amazing places I've ever seen, even snow covered. There were some places which made me a bit uncomfortable, but I made it through.
We moved on to Zion National Park just south of Bryce. I found out the road was a bit more then I wanted to go through again so I took the afternoon to relax. The guys ended up driving into the park and climbing up Angels Landing, a trek i saw online and felt fine staying at the site for lol.
I took the day to just sit and catch up on my blogging and reading, partly due to the fact I stumbled upon a wireless network. It was a bit chilly because of the wind but in the sun it was much better.
They guys got back a couple hours later, that's when we met Craig Sigler. He was a lone biker just riding the area. He asked how we all knew each other, and we told him we grew up in the same church. Turns out, his son is a pastor at First Baptist Church outside San Fransisco( about 3,000 members). He was a wealth of knowledge in many areas like biking, guns, attractions across the US, and most enlightening for us, Christianity. We learned more that night around a small fire then we have in years. It was great just running into someone with a good head on their shoulders and get to know.
We stayed up pretty late then hit the hay, the cold hay once again. It wasn't as windy as the night before but just as cold.
