Originally posted to RohJuh.com on Oct 5, 2002. Day 1 (Sat, Sept. 28) Zion Our journey began at a little past 8 AM as we departed San Diego. The route was fairly simple – straight up the 15 to Zion National Park where we planned to car camp for the night. Lunch found us at the El Pollo Loco (mmmm . . . yummy cilantro!) in Barstow and by late afternoon, we had arrived at Zion. We checked into the Watchman campsite and had dinner at the Bumbleberry Inn, home of the famous Bumbleberry pie. Unfortunately, it began raining. I wanted to do something to protect the bikes but soon discovered that the tarp I had bought previously (5′ X 7′) was too small to provide adequate coverage. So we stopped at Zion Outdoor to buy a larger tarp (8′ X 10′) and Judy took the opportunity to buy a pair of convertible pants. The tarp turned out to be a really good purchase because it rained pretty hard that night. The storm that evening was actually a really cool experience as the rain pitter-pattered on...
