Survived Labor Day weekend at Bryce Canyon

hoodoos valley light Table Cliffs storm clouds Bryce Canyon National Park UtahWe didn’t know what to expect for visitation this year over Labor Day weekend at Bryce Canyon National Park.  Overall, visitation has been down about 30% except for maybe Saturdays.  Yet it seemed like a crazy busy end of summer holiday like any “normal” year.  Americans do like to celebrate their last hooray three-day weekend.  Felt like summer turned to winter with smoky haze in between.

Pink Cliffs sign Mossy Cave SR12 East Bryce Canyon National Park UtahAlong the SR12 east drive to Tropic

On my last weekend, Wednesday through Friday, I once again stayed home the first day, and ran out of propane that evening.  That would motivate me to go out the following day as I have no hot water without propane, or stove cooking.  Plus I went to the nearby Tropic hardware store for some washers to fix the sagging camper door that wouldn’t open.

That morning I received an email from the park that the water would be off at least part of the day to repair a leak in pipe.  I saw that being worked on as I left to get propane.  I was told the propane tank couldn’t be filled because it’s out of date, by five years.  I asked to be shown the date and it’s stamped 2003 and is good for 12 years.  Funny, it’s been filled many times in that expired time.  So both the 7-gallon tanks on the 5th-wheel will have to be re-certified.  Later.  Instead I had both the 5-gallon tanks in the camper filled and am using one in the 5th-wheel.  I have only temporarily made the camper door open and need some help to add more washers in the hinge.  RV homes need just as much maintenance, if not more, than a S&B (stick and brick).

I didn’t see the increasing visitation on Friday of Labor Day weekend at Bryce Canyon having the day off.  But Saturday I opened the visitor center at 8am and fought off the crowds 30 minutes before that trying to get set for the day.  This year, being set up outside, it takes a lot more than putting up the flag and unlocking the doors.

After a couple non-stop hours answering pretty much the same questions I was happily headed 18 miles away, south to Rainbow/Yovimpa Point.  Yet after circling that parking lot slowly three times with every available parking space, and not spaces, overflowing I drove back down the road about 1/4 mile to park in a wide spot.  Then walked back up to Yovimpa Point for afternoon presentations about Grand Staircase geology.

visitors Suicide Point from Yovimpa Point Bryce Canyon National Park UtahThere was more than just a bit of stupid going on by visitors going off trail

The park entrance station closed for about an hour as there was no place for anybody to park.  Extra shuttle buses were put on to accommodate visitors to the four main overlooks.  Buses don’t run to the end of the road where I was.

After several hours I walked back down to my truck (I take my own rig for the toilet) and then stopped at a couple overlooks where I could park to rove for a while.

visitor comments Bryce Canyon National Park UtahSunday was no less crowded and once again had to close for about an hour.  I started the day just afternoon as I worked late for the evening program.  Had people waiting at the door to the visitor center most of the three hours I spent keeping the building capacity at 50.  It was hot in the sun at 87°F.  People were a little cranky but for the most part polite, and mostly wearing masks.  The next three hours at the information station were non-stop again.  I’m a bit disappointed that people don’t pre-plan their visit just a little.  I’m not a travel agent, just a Park Ranger.  After a late dinner and closing the visitor center, still busy, I set up my laptop at the outdoor amphitheater by North campground for the 9pm “Where’s the Wildlife” program.  40+3 people signed up for the program—maximum is usually 40—and then 12 didn’t show up.  But it was a great program with much interest and good questions.  Leaving for home about 10:30 the sky was incredibly clear showing the Milky Way stretched across the horizon.  I didn’t take the time to set up tripod and camera.

hoodoos amphitheater smoky haze Bryce Canyon National Park UtahThe next morning a smoky haze surrounded Bryce Canyon.  Couldn’t see the valley from the rim. Difficult to say which of so many fires in the west sent smoke our way.  My heart goes out to those more affected.  Fire is usually good for the land but not good for people.  I had over 20 people at both hoodoo geology talks, and also talked about fire ecology.

I was relieved to see the crowds dispersing by late afternoon the last of Labor Day weekend at Bryce Canyon.  I appreciate that my job is to provide information and service to visitors but sometimes…  It’s hard to fix stupid, or is just a lack of respect for self and others.  Way too many people with dogs on trails where they don’t belong.  Sometimes even the people don’t belong, or, are not prepared for rough terrain, high elevation, and arid conditions.  Why would anybody want to hike steep trails in flip-flops with no water, and then on top of it take their dog?  Emotional support dogs are not ADA service dogs.  One of our PSR (preventative search and rescue) volunteers was called a bitch for informing hikers about the no dog on trails policy.  But I’m sure they’d want our help if they got in trouble.

hoodoos valley light Table Cliffs storm clouds Bryce Canyon National Park Utah

hoodoos valley light Table Cliffs storm clouds Bryce Canyon National Park UtahTuesday the temperature dropped to a high in the 40s with northwest wind blowing the smoke away and gusting to 45mph.  Brutal wind chill.  Sure glad I wasn’t camping in a tent.  Our information service moved inside the visitor center with masked Rangers standing behind plexiglass.  Stationed at the door that morning to maintain building capacity I also stood inside.  Ranger Haley reported sideways snow at Rainbow Point and returned early.

hoodoos valley light Table Cliffs storm clouds Bryce Canyon National Park UtahI was scheduled to do a 4pm Rim Walk, and even dressed with leggings under my pants, three outside layers on top, a fleece hat, and compression gloves I was freezing.  Can’t see through fogged up glasses when wearing a mask.  I wasn’t disappointed when no visitors showed up for the walk.  Yet the light between clouds dancing on the land called for at least a few photos.   I and visitors watched a guy propose to his lady along the trail below Sunset Point overlook and applauded when he looked up and announced “she said yes.”

hoodoos trees storm clouds Bryce Canyon National Park UtahFinally my fingers went numb and snow flurries started to fall, my sign to end the day outside.

After work I sat home wrapped in coat, hat, and scarf with a blanket over my lap and three electric heaters running for several hours before I thawed out.  Prediction for below 32° meant adding another blanket to the bed.  You have to know by now, I don’t like cold weather.  Now I have to survive beyond Labor Day weekend at Bryce Canyon and hope it doesn’t get too cold.

Today’s predicted 30% chance of snow has me staying home on my first of two days off this week.  The temperature is suppose to increase this week starting tomorrow with low 60s to high 70s again next week.  Thank goodness.

It’s been a lovely desert winter now time to move on

desert sunset clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaI’ve enjoyed three months living in the Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona yet all good things seem to come to end and it’s time to move on.

sunset crescent moon Venus BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaHowever, that’s not entirely true as there are still a few RVs around who I can barely see, and that’s OK.

desert sunset clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaI enjoyed the perfect birthday, quietly, in the desert, hundreds of well wishes, will forever be known as my Corona Birthday without the beer.  I ate hotdogs for lunch.  Don’t judge me, I grew up in the Chicago area and don’t want to know what’s in them.  No cake because I forgot to buy some.  Thank goodness for ice cream.  And thanks to all of you.

Jackrabbit ears desert BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaSo much on my mind when I just want to soak in the desert.  Yet this week’s temperatures are rising into the mid 80s which makes my little house like a sauna.  Don’t want to cook the cat and neither of us have a cooling system with big ears.

desert sunset clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaSome might say I should stay in place, home.  Yet after living in this 8 x 12 foot camper for six months, this is home wherever it is.

cholla saguaro palo verde mine tailings BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaAnd now I’m called back to the lands of civilization and people.  So far, Bryce Canyon National Park is still open.  The visitor center and most other services are closed.  No fees being collected keeps employees safe from interacting.  Numbers of vehicles have dropped immensely.  Between March 17th and 27th visitation went from ~1000 cars/day to ~500 cars/day.  My job will be different than usual.  I will spend time on assigned projects to work on at home, and that’s all I know right now.

desert Black Mountain BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaSo it’s time to say goodbye to Black Mountain and coddiwomple northwards along a reverse route from last fall.  I will miss this delightful desert and the apricity that helped me heal.  It’s been a lovely holiday, when the fridge worked correctly and before this current mess.

I won’t miss those noisy military jets that I feel breaking the deserquies.  It literally hurts my head.  I will miss the Redtail hawk soaring circles in search of a meal.  I won’t miss the dust (and noise) kicked up by the OHV who are less in numbers than the Border Patrol rigs bombing down the gravel road.  I will miss the bobble of Gamble Quail scampering from bush to bush, the sweet Happy Birthday song of the Cactus Wren, and even the tap of the Gila Woodpecker on my camper.  I will miss the amazing desert sunsets.

sunset wavy clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaI am looking forward to new environments, landscapes, birds, and sunsets while continuing to social distance as much as possible.

Gaelyn in camper Belly Acres RV Park Ajo ArizonaHope everyone is well.  Stay safe.  Stay home.  (BTW, I cleaned the mirror Joann.)

 

Deserquies (n) – silence only found in the desert. [I made up this word from the root of desert and quiet.]

Waiting out the storm: rain and COVID-19

desert mountains storm clouds sun rays BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaI originally thought that waiting out the storm meant four days of rain in the desert.  Yet over those days, and more, as I followed reports on social media—some more reliable than others—realized people around the world are waiting out the storm of the rapidly spreading COVID-19.

road desert mountains storm clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaSo thankful I have no place to be in a hurry.

By now we should have all gotten the message and know what to do to reduce chances of getting this latest virus.  Actually, things we learned in kindergarten, wash hands, cover mouth when coughing, blow nose, and stay home when sick.  Nobody wants a hug if you’re sick except your Mom, and right now even that’s a bad idea.

Sonoran Desert light Black Mountain storm clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaGo outside to non-congested areas.  Give people space.  Quarantine doesn’t have to lock you into the house.  Yet if it does, make the most of that time doing something positive.  This is not forever.

I think their will be a lot of December babies this year.  I hope their parents teach them well.

Sonoran Desert mountains light clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaI will continue waiting out the storm boondocking in the southern Arizona desert in as much social isolation as possible.

desert mountains sunset clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaIn the meantime, I will try to keep bringing you stories and photos from the Sonoran Desert while waiting out the storm.

I found a high place with firm ground speckled with tiny, white, daisy-like Desert Star flowers and a familiar view of Black Mountain.  My window view also included a leaning Saguaro and two other RVs at a relatively respectful distance, and they both left within two days.

desert mountains light clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaThe little rain that fell overnight didn’t even dampen the ground.  Clouds danced around all morning creating patches of light and shadow.  A military jet scared me by breaking the silence of the desert.

desert mountains storm clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaRain in the desert seems like a special gift to this otherwise arid environment.

desert mountains storm clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaA gentle rain became more steady and I heard thunder and saw lightning.  I enjoy listening to rain on the roof.  Sierra, it seems, not so much.  She becomes more needy and lies closer for comfort and consoling.

road desert mountains storm clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaBy noon it was warm enough to open doors and windows.  Petrichor!  I’ve heard people talk about the creosote smell after rain.  I smell cinnamon.  Yet the ground was soft enough I barely wanted to walk on it let alone drive.  Glad I didn’t have to go anywhere.

desert mountains storm clouds BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaTwo more jets flew low and banked around Black Mountain interrupting the more pleasant song of the Cactus Wren.  A Gila Woodpecker landed on the step and pecked loudly catching both of us off guard.  A hummingbird came by. They seem to like the red light covers.

puddles Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaFigured I had one day left to lay low and let the ground dry a bit before I’d have to head to town for propane and dump holding tanks.  And even then there were puddles.

When I got to Belly Acres RV Park I asked if they had spaces and they did.  Guess I shouldn’t be too surprised as many RVers have headed home in a hurry because of CORVID-19.   I paid for a space then dumped, filled water, took a shower, and charged everything I could because I had electricity.  But hey, civilization is so noisy I could barely hear the birds.  Several neighbors gathered on the nearby Community building porch.  Voices rose and fell.  And although I couldn’t hear words it felt like some subtle disagreement was going on.  And then there was singing.  Maybe I should have just joined in but I am social distancing and already felt like I’d been too peopley.

desert hills BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaIn the morning I was more than ready to return to the peace and quiet of the desert, deserquies.  I went to the grocery store in Ajo, not really needing much, and the shelves were as stocked as ever, they even had toilet paper though I didn’t need any.  Milk and a couple avocados were enough for me and I headed back to Darby Well Road and parked in the same place by five feet.  Not suppose to see more rain until Wednesday.

I will probably just stay here and continue waiting out the storm, whether that’s rain and/or virus.

Like many full-time RVers, I don’t have a home to go to as I’m already in it.  Guess that’s not entirely true, as my other home on wheels should be going back to Bryce Canyon National Park next month.  If they’re still open.

desert mountains storm clouds rainbow BLM Darby Well Road Ajo ArizonaMany difficult times around us, label them as you may. Yet the reality is life of the possibly kindest species on the planet. We are capable of love, giving, and kindness even on the worst of days. Crisis sets us all atwitter, no tweeting needed. Yet under the worse of crisis we come together.  Keep taking care of yourself, and others if that’s possible, while waiting out the storm.

May the luck of the Irish be with us all.

Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
