Yellow is for sunshine!  More today :)  It's supposed to get only to 94, but yesterday it said 97 and it was 100, so we'll see.
I am in the camper blogging this morning as we hiked about four miles totaled yesterday, and if I am to hike this afternoon, I need to give my poor hips a morning off.  P and J and K are repeating the River Hike from yesterday, but with an additional 2 miles of actual river walking!  They continue from where we turned around yesterday...and the hike takes you right into the Virgin River.  I'm certain they will have a wonderful time.  J has agreed to share his pics with me.  This afternoon we hope to do the Human History Museum and a .6 mile mostly uphill hike to see some of the ruins the museum describes.  That is one of the things I really wanted to do.  To connect this beautiful place with its people is what I love.
Another subject.  So many of you have asked me to format the blog to show latest blogs first.  That is the way it comes up for me, and I've gone through all the formatting choices I can find and there seems to be no place for me to make a choice for that.  Please help if you know the answer.
I went out to wait for J and K and P to return from their morning hike.  They had called and asked me to meet them at the Gourmet Grill.  So I was sitting inside drinking a Diet Coke when I saw a guy I thought looked a lot like Bob Raak, a friend we work with at the Conference Grounds. I knew Bob and Mary were traveling to the Grand Canyon, but never would have thought I'd see then in Zion.  So I shook off the thought, when suddenly someone very strongly resembling Mary came into view.  I went outside and low and behold, it was them.....and they are staying in the same park as we are. We had a good hug and they went on their shuttle journey and I went back to wait for the other three.  
Turns out P, J and K had a fabulous hike along the River Walk and then through the river all the way to The Narrows!  They took great pics so I could hike it vicariously.  I was grateful.  They had lunch and shared their journey.
