We've learned that maps aren't all that accurate when it comes to paved roads, unimproved roads, and scenic byways. The locals know some of the roads and what is considered "easy" by them is not so by city gals. We've only used the 4-wheel drive a few times (like 2) on dirt roads to scenic overlooks. Today, the 3 Sisters will be attempting to navigate through a supposed paved road according to the locals which appears unimproved on our "latest" maps. It is supposed to be more scenic and less time to get to St. Georges, Utah where we pick up Ky's friend, My, who will joining us for the last week of the adventure.
Ry, Py's friend, has departed back to PHX. It was a blast in Bryce Canyon - although our posteriors are a bit sore: 3 hour horseback ride, ATV rides and mega-hiking.
Cell phones still have spotty reception as well as internet.
We ate wild boar and buffalo ribs last night. Good flavor.
With maps in hand, we depart for the wilds of Utah. We are planning on participating in the geocaching (google that to find out more). The Utah State Parks are participating and we hope to use a GPS system for free to find a geocache. The 3 Sisters have been orienteering so we shouldn't get lost in the canyons - maybe. Stay tuned for more information and watch your national news!

Bummed I missed your phone call earlier today...hope it wasn't an SOS from the bottom of a canyon or a wrong turn on a desserted road on your quest to find My:-0
