Day 3

Well today was a very long introduction to the van. We were to drive from Los Angeles out through California, Nevada a bit of Arizona and finally into Utah. Our destination was Zion National Park. We stopped at a local Wal-Mart to do some shopping for a warmer set of clothes as the call was that it was going to get cold, very cold. As you would expect travelling through 4 states in one day the scenery changed quite a bit. From the Urban slums of L.A to the deserts of Nevada with all the Joshua trees and the red rocks of Utah.

We got to camp and set up our gear after an introduction to the equipment. As we were setting up the tents I looked up and saw one of my other trek leaders, Jason Clark from the Westerner 2. How cool, small world eh ? Well not really. As we were cooking dinner it started to rain, so upwent the rain tarp nice and quickly. Apparently we were really lucky. It hardly ever rains at Zion.
