Bear and I drove through Rockville on April 1st, and saw this crazy shoe tree. It must have been an April Fool's joke. Dozens of shoes flew around in the wind like bats. We drove through Rockville on a Sunday afternoon...expecting to see "pretty quilts all on a line" (we were listening to that song on the Red Rock Rondo CD as we drove through Rockville.) As we drove through Virgin, we listened to "Big Rock" on the same CD sung by our friend Hal Cannon. He and his wife have moved to Virgin.
It had rained and snowed on the way down to Zion. We stayed in St. George (April 1-4), but went straight to Zion to see the amazing display of low clouds blanketing the familiar landscape. It looked like the mountain had been on fire with lingering smoke throughout the canyon.
The Visitor's center was encircled with thick clouds. We hadn't seen this display before. We got to go on the shuttle to the lodge. It was the first day of operation. It was quite busy with tourists already. We planned to take some hikes, but the wind and the temperatures discouraged that. We will come back on Tuesday for that.
