Zion to Grand Junction CO

We are up just after 6 am. Our plan is an early breakfast at Cafe Soleil and then return to camp, strike Wglwof and get on the road eastward. Already there is a long line of RV’s and cars winding around the South Campground parking lot, waiting for the host to begin assigning campsites at 7:30. Some of them have been there since 2 or 3 am. We drive the 0.7 miles to the cafe, finish our breakfast of muffins and coffee and return to the campground.

We are on the road just after 8, taking Highway 9 once again, eastward out of the park. Our drive goes smoothly and we arrive in Grand Junction around 4 pm. We have some delicious small pizzas at the Kannah Brew Pub along with their stout and an amber ale. Unfortunately, neither is currently available in bottles, so I must settle for a six-pack of their Broken Oar IPA for our Thanksgiving tasting.
