Return to Zion
Filed Under Blue's News, Zion National Park . Utah
The deer watched our arrival in South Campground of Zion National Park. The campground won’t offically open until Friday, March 12th and until then I’ll be going through a camphost orientation. How to deal with the allowance of firearms in National Parks will be part of the training agenda.
Here’s our site under the view of “The Watchman”.
Blue in campsite #59. Every year I send an image of this campsite with Blue to our friends, Ute, Max and Franzi who visited here from Germany two years ago.
Everyone asks me why I want to return to Zion. Don’t forget to click the pictures to see larger versions.

Jacks up this morning under a clear Las Vegas sky. We’re hoping the area around Zion National Park will be as nice.
Our total of 7 days at Sam’s Town has been good. I’ve stayed here before and would most likely return here BUT be warned. If you have service work outside the campground which requires you to move your RV out for a day don’t leave anything in your site regardless of what the office personnel tell you. Just let them know you’ll be back and that you’ve already paid. It’s normally OK to leave sewer hoses, chairs and doormats in your site to show you’re still occupying the site. Campers do this everywhere. When I left for my RV service last Friday I notified the front office and told them I’d be leaving a few things in my site. I left my doormat, doorstep, sewer hose, my herb garden planter with solar lights and one weather sensor hidden in the planter (for my weather station), two solar lights (in the planter) and my set of 40 pound hand weights in a carrying case. When I returned, everything but the planter was gone. The weather sensor and solar lights were gone too! I reported and filled out an incident and itemization report. It was a mystery…who took this stuff? I walked around the park for a while check to see my items in another site. No luck. Two of my neighbors realized what had happened and came forward to say they saw the early morning crew going through and hauling off my gear. The security officer came over and interviewed the neighbors. Now, 6 days later and nothing. The security officer told me whoever took the items will be looking for a new job. Not my favorite solution. I’m still out an estimated $140 worth of things I need to replace. Who would want a sewer hose or a doormat? I have been passed from one person to another every time I enquire. The office sent me to the casino security office, who said call the corporate risk management office, who said someone would call me. So, I leave here in about an hour with no more information than when I pulled into my site last Friday. Just beware you should never leave anything in your site…..nothing…..if you plan to take your RV out of your site.
