Well I have been trying to take it easy on my foot and not do any strenous hikes. I might go up to emerald springs just across the river. It is an easy hike, just waiting for it to get shady over there. The temp suppose to be about 100, but the humdity is like 17% with a nice breeze blowing. Today we went on a Ranger guided tour of the area which was nice. Just saw on channel 6 news that the temp was 93 with high humidity at home. Checked my weather station and it says the same thing. I hope Midnight is enjoying the air conditioning. I left it at 76 for him. My friend Henry Beck died last night (he was 95) and had been sick for a while. My brother called me this morning as we were eating breakfast. Last year he called to tell me my Aunt died at 103 while we were having breakfast at Yellowstone. Not a good sign. Anyhow tomorrow we leave here to go to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for two days. Have to go out the famous tunnel that was cut thru a mile of rock. Zion is celebrating 100 years as a monument/park so they have a lot of activities here. I doubt if I will have an internet connection at the North Rim or at Bryce. This was a pleasant suprise that I had it here in Zion. (I used my broadband connection for the first day until I found and realized that the green blinking light behind the desk was not for the phone). Big hint was the antenna sticking out it. So much for being in the middle of no where. I hope my broadband makes it, but the closest cell tower is on the other side of the grand canyon (10 miles away). Well we will see. I will take some pictures and post them if I get the time. Been really busy every day. Had to buy jackets because the temp at night at both Bryce and the North rim is in the 40's. Hope it doesn't snow again. That's it for now
Ciao

Glad to hear you're having a nice time, Dad. I got your voicemail but haven't had a chance to call yet. The kitchen cabinets finally came today so there was lots of commotion over that.
I'm sorry to hear that Henry Beck died, but it sounds like he had a long, full life. Maybe you need to start going on vacation a different time of year so you don't get these unsettling phone calls. :(
We had nice weather here today too. Sunny with signs of springtime. Put some photos on your blog for us to admire.
