Day 8- On the road again

The big storm last night abated for 2 hrs from 7:30 to 9:30 pm and everyone emerged from tents, rapidly lit their fires and grills and cooked and ate. Me included for the first time I had coal and wood for a campfire dinner. 

Steak skillets in burger buns- pretty basic as I do not have much kit but I managed to light a fire which enabled me to stay in my shorts until bedtime! It was a great sunset- a rainbow started it off and a warm red glow on the rocks ended it before it all went very dark.

It rained all night again but by 6am I had this view from my tent's eye on the world (OK it looked cooler in person!) and I was able to get up and pack the tent before it rained again.

Now I forgot to tell you all how wonderful the toilet facilities are here- truly open plan or should I say open air! Just pull the chain across to let everyone know its occupied and whistle or sing loudly. No need for air freshener as there is no roof and barely a fence for a wall. It still stinks though so do not camp near one!

Hit the road for the 6 hrs trip to St.George on 2 long empty highways and did all the logistics of repacking and refreshing supplies for next week's trip. Its v.hot in St.George so I decided not to venture out for a ride but save my energy for the next 5 thrilling days! Woohoo!

BTW- I just noticed my license plate- not sure if it means the car is sexy or the driver!
