DAY 2

Tuesday 7/1/69
Up (god knows why) at 5 am.. fast breakfast and on the desert road.. Arrived in Las Vegas at 9:10 am.. Gambling houses and big hotels all over.. city seems larger than I envisioned. We went on through extreme heart to Zion National Park in SW Utah.

Beautiful site and we were able to park by side of little river, in which we all plunged in!!. Benji, Mike and Danny helped some other kids build a dam ! So hot we ate very little dinner. Boys back in river and we decided to leave. We will have to visit Zion in cooler weather..What we saw was beautiful..








Even in the evening, the weather was in the 90’s,
too hot to stay, so we drove up to Beaver, Utah and bedded down on nice side street.
7/1, Overnight in Beaver, Utah
