DAY THREE

Today was the day the rain gear came into play!  It got very wet a number of times, but the sessions were fairly short.  All in all it was still a great day, but riding in the rain is a bit more tiring.  The top three pictures are taken in Zion National Park and the last four are from Bryce.  The scenery was marvelous, not only in the parks, but also just along the highway.  I could believe how quickly the scenes would change.  One minute I was in the midst of canyons and a quarter mile later it was all meadows and trees.  I did about 350 miles today, but a lot of it was slow going with a lot of road work and many, many small towns.  I was warned to go  exactly what the speed limit says in the small towns and I noticed that everybody else did too.  I one little town I saw no less than four Police cars in various positions.  So far so good!  Obviously the scenery was awesome today.  Tonight I am in Hurricane, UT and just 15 miles from my first appointment in St. George with Robert Maehre.  Then I'll go down to Las Vegas to meet with Denny Krause at the Mountain View Church.  Good news today from Ingrid.  Her surgery went well although Sharon Ketelsen got hit from behind on the way to the hospital.  They are both pretty sore, but no serious injuries. God is good.  Ingrid sounded great tonight.  Thanks for your continued prayers and emails of encouragement.  Fun today and tomorrow is back to work.
