OUR HOME IS WHERE WE PARK IT: #15 WE ARE HERE!

Woke up this morning, expecting to find ourselves surrounded by juniper trees, but this is what we found. Plus, it began to snow just as we were leaving!

We were the ONLY people camping here and there was no one collecting fees, so we had a free night! Sweet!

After breakfast, Alex worked on his journal. He drew a picture and wrote about our field trip to Promontory Summit. Then we read a book about Westward expansion and talked about the varying perspectives... the Native Americans, Settlers, and railroad workers.

Then we continued our journey south and passed though some amazing canyons. Love it! We kept telling the kids to look here and there and they were loving it just as much as we were.

We also ran into more snow! Total surprise!

Before heading into our spot for the night, we drove into Kanab to stock up on some of those supplies we were going to get yesterday. And, as we finally drove in to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary the kids were cheering! We finally arrived! Woo hoo!

There are two RV spots here at the Sanctuary. And I think our stay was meant to be, because just two weeks ago I took the last available reservation for the next few months. The Universe wanted us here... and look at the view. Yes, it is amazing and the pictures do not even begin to show the beauty. Here is the view from our site...

We took a short family walk & explored across from camp... and saw a lot of Cryptobiotic soil. The kids have learned about this important soil and why it is important to stay on trails. We like to say, "Don't bust the crust!"
