We’ve had a variety of accommodations on our trip—staying with family and friends, staying in some hip hotels, and camping. I couldn’t get a tent site in Zion National Park, so we got one at a place called Zion Ponderosa, about 5 miles from the east entrance to Zion, and about 90 minutes from Bryce.
We had a bit of a problem with the tent and the air mattress. Basically, one did not fit into the other. Robin will be getting a new tent, since one “window” was ripped in our efforts to “make it fit!” It’s a good thing that there are no bugs at night and no dew in the morning, since we are pretty much open on one side.

Zion Ponderosa is the kind of campground that even Sam would love—ATV and motorcycle rentals, paintball, mini-golf, a rec room with ping-pong and pool, a pool and a hot tub, two restaurants, horseback riding, jeep tours, etc…...We didn’t partake of many of these things, but we did go to the little rodeo on Saturday night. In addition to horse riders of a variety of types, they called all of the kids in for a race. The hysterical thing about the race is that the kids had to take of one shoe, run to the fence and back, put their shoe back on and run to the fence again. The thing is that their shoes were thrown all over the arena while they were running the other way….
