Day 88 - Last Day of Trip :-(

Howdy Everyone,
We are currently in Las Vegas pondering our trip. This has been truly a once in a life time vacation. We've had such an amazing time, we're sad to see it end. We're already planning our next big trip for next year.

We did gamble a little at Sam's Town Casino last night. No big winners but we did have fun. Dug was excited to play and almost got a Jack Pot on the Wheel of Fortune until he was kicked out for not being a seeing eye dog, oh well (see Dug's photo below).

We want to thank all of you for following us on our trip through this blog. The blog in itself was a wonderful part of the trip. We really enjoyed the comments and the e-mails. We strongly suggest that if you take a long trip that you do a blog as it keeps you in touch with your friends and family and it gives you something creative to do during the down times.

Below are a few photos of Zion National Park. The scenery is truly stunning here and completely different than Alaska and Canada (it was 107 degrees and sunny!!). It has to be seen in person to be truly enjoyed.

If any of you would like the full size image of any photo on our trip, please e-mail me at vhupp@cox.net . We hope to share with you the thousand plus photos (OK we'll only bring out a few) that we couldn't post when you come visit.

Thank you all again and take care,
Vern, Sue & Dug


Here is Dug just before the dog alarm sounded.

Here is one of the many views of Zion.

Here are some interesting pancake rocks that Sue found.

Another view up canyon from one of our hikes.

Ditto from above.

This was a monolith rock that goes straight up for about 600'.

More monoliths.

It's hard to imagine that these mountains are about 3300' high. Just stunning in person.
