Camping at Bryce Canyon with John & Cindy

[@annelefevre9457]

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for the blessing of the moisture to refill the empty lakes and refill the rivers. Great country, from my husbands old stomping grounds!

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you, Anne.

[@maryanngregorek8865]

Pam, when we travel with you and Jim, we get to experience both the good and the bad just like real life, because it is! Your bike will be repaired and you'll take us along next time. Thanking God for easing the drought.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Amen! Thanks, Maryann. My bike is supposed to be fixed by next week.

[@nadurkee46]

Country roads take me home-to the place I was born-southwest Mama-take me home-take me home! I am envious, and a teeny bit homesick, but thrilled you are taking me along by internet.

[@trailgrazers3690]

So glad you enjoyed it.

[@christinesoper3492]

Thank you for sharing the beautiful scenery and your beautiful lives. When our girls were younger we enjoyed camping in Maryland and Virginia and Pennsylvania . We loved being outside in the cool weather. Later arthritis took its tole and about 1 1/2 years ago leukemia took my sweet hubby. Unfortunately he waited too long to retire and right before he did he was diagnosed with 2 blood cancers. We had many road trips from OKC to MDAnderson in Houston for his clinical trial. I miss him so much and the things we “hoped” to do. Thank heavens you guys are still able to enjoy these times together and to share 💕😊

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you for sharing those tender memories of your husband. So sorry he is gone. I also think it is important to treasure every day for the blessings we have.

[@dianehoffman6640]

You will look back on this trip and laugh

[@trailgrazers3690]

A good learning experience.

[@JeanneKinland]

I hope I have your energy level when I get to your age. It was nice of you to share your sister and her husband with us. Enjoying your retirement in style.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thanks for watching!

[@teresadaigle6991]

Oh Pam, I am so sorry about your not feeling well on your camping trip. Been there and it is not fun. Also, I know how you feel about your bike. So sorry! Hopefully they will be able to get it back in riding order soon. I would love to know where this CG is. We have camped several places in Bryce but have not been totally satisfied with any of them. We are planning on a trip there in Sept this year. We don’t have four wheelers but they sure look fun. We will bike and hike. I was right there with you when you lost Jim…😢 That had to have been very scary for sure. It is such fun camping but we always love coming back home again. With all the unpacking..hahah! I will be waiting for your next adventure. Be safe.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thanks for your comment. We stay at Ruby"s Inn Campground and love it. We are going back later in the season and can't wait. My bike is now in the shop and should be ready later this week!

[@teresadaigle6991]

Thank you so much! I guess we will try there. We are selling our camper this summer so back to tent camping for us. 😃 We have gone so many different ways throughout the years but we don’t like to haul the camper over the passes out here in Colorado. To go West, we have to go over one pass or another. Your lucky to be already in Utah.

[@fairytale_after_dark6696]

Its such a huge blessing for you and Cindy to be so close, Pam. I'm sure you are with the rest of your sisters too, but that you , Jim, John and Cindy all holiday together is just wonderful. Keep making all those beautiful memories, Love. Take care and all the best from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you so much! It is fun to vacation together--this is our first time doing it and we all 4 enjoyed it.

[@annette2407]

Safe travels this weekend. Always fun to see you and sister’s family together

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you, Annette.

[@suzy3840]

Best videos on how to make certain things also thanks for letting us ride along with you!

[@Melindalot]

Sorry you were not able to show us all you wanted us to see but we saw enough to know that God’s handiwork is magnificent! Now I want to go!

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you for that sweet comment. It is beautiful! I hope you do get to go.

[@donnamullins2089]

So very glad you were not on your bike. That is a lot of damage. Like your toy hauler. Nice to see John and Cindy had a great time. Drive safe and get well soon Pam.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you, Donna.

[@GinxHorne]

Hope you feel better soon, Pam. So sorry about your mishaps. Such is life right. Next adventure can only be better. God bless you and yours.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thank you so much, Gina.

[@lynsmith2698]

It’s so beautiful there. I always enjoy your .Bryce canyon videos. Thanks for taking us along 🌷🇨🇦😊

You are welcome, Lyn.

[@nancyalberghini7581]

We loved Bryce Canyon it is beautiful.

[@trailgrazers3690]

We agree!

[@MaryWehmeier]

Heck with “Camp Food.” I’ll camp and RV with you folks anytime! We make real meals and carry them along to enjoy the day. Seeing all that water is a blessing. We all need it here in the SW. Take care of yourself Pam.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Thanks, Mary. I'm with you--camp food should always be great food!

[@jessemills3845]

May i recommend, while stocking a camper. For long term storage, don't put stuff that has issues if it gets frozen.

[@patriciasweet9102]

Hi Pam and Jim. Beautiful spot for lunch. Nothing better than camping with family. Even if plans don't go as planned. Sure glad you were extra cautious by the spillway. That is some fast moving water.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Yes, it was a bit scary. But we were thrilled to see that much water after the past few years when we have been up there. Nothing was running the the spillway then.

[@reniermeyer1866]

It's always great to see the clan together. I'm so happy for the perception you all got recently, I hope it continues until the drought is completely broken.

[@trailgrazers3690]

We do too! Thank you.

[@debk5325]

Looks like you were blessed with beautiful weather.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Indeed we were.

[@jeanegard]

Looks like a fantastic time❤

[@trailgrazers3690]

It was! Thanks.

[@ChieftuckabuckawaysWife]

Love it when you take us on adventures! This was great. Thank you! My one suggestion for next excursion walkie-talkies stashed in the riders. Keep batteries separate until at your site and take them out at the end of the trip. Separation at vacation time can be quite daunting.

[@debbienielsen368]

YES! What she said! Some type of communication devices. So glad you waited on Jim to find you. Also some protection. Mace or bear spray. We need you guys safe!

[@trailgrazers3690]

Our walkie talkies are line of sight and didn't work well in the trees. We are already looking for better ones!

[@catherinemurray5956]

Beautiful Scenery. TU

[@trailgrazers3690]

Yes, it is. One of our favorite places.

So good that you and your sister is so close. I miss mine so much!

[@trailgrazers3690]

Yes, we are very blessed.

[@mscatnipper2359]

Losing Jim long enough to have a mild panic reminded me of the importance of communications, whenever away from cell towers, but also during a grid down situation. I believe you have covered radios, but have you covered walkie talkies and ham radios? I let my ham radio license lapse, but will go through the training and get it again. It's a bit scary, looking at the training manual, but it is easily doable to get a ham radio license, and it allows you to communicate over a wide area when no other communications are functioning.

[@MaryWehmeier]

You can do a few review you tubes and get your license renewed fairly fast. The pool questions June 1.

[@mscatnipper2359]

@@MaryWehmeier Yes, I have noticed a couple YT channels offering the training to prep for the test, but didn't make a note of them. Do you have one or two you like?

[@trailgrazers3690]

We will definitely be taking our walkie talkies with us next time. That scare was enough for me!!!

[@paulas.8089]

Very informative! I’ve never been to Bryce Canyon. Love seeing all the water!

[@trailgrazers3690]

It has been so dry the past few years--this was fantastic for us to see so much water.

[@1netie]

Get a couple of radios to stay in contact with each other. Sometimes cell phone won't work in a canyon.

[@trailgrazers3690]

Yes, our walkie talkies don't do well in the trees. My phone message got through to him, finally!

[@stephaniephouotrides2435]

I love Utah. Thx for sharing

[@trailgrazers3690]

So do we! You are welcome.

[@sonyareeder7855]

I've heard Bryce canyon is very beautiful and hope to visit from Oregon someday. Thank you for sharing video footage.

The water looks so refreshing. Thank you.

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Oh my goodness! I knew exactly where you were at on the drive in, and we stopped and had lunch at that park also! I named my red-headed son Bryce Cameron. His hair, when a baby was the color of the red rocks. Even though he isn't really named after Bryce Canyon the connection is there. I love the scenic Byway 12 beyond Bryce East also. I hope you've had a chance to drive it too.

[@trailgrazers3690]

LOL! Thanks for sharing. Yes, we have driven well beyond Bryce on that road--out to Escalante and beyond.

[@shirlymullis1699]

Might need to invest in a couple Two Way Radios for peace of mind when you get separated.

[@trailgrazers3690]

We have walkie talkies, but they are line of sight and don't do well inthe trees/. We are looking for a better setup! I don't want to go through that again.

I have zero experience with gps trackers but maybe that’s something you and Jim need to look into for the next time your on the trail.

Hello Pam, Jim, Cindy and John!!! Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventure(s)! Would you mind telling me the name of the campground there in Bryce? We're going there in September and that looks like a beautiful campground. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos on both sites and all the good information!!! ❤

[@trailgrazers3690]

It is the Ruby's Inn Campground. We always stay there and it is a really nice campground. You will enjoy it.

We are new to camping. Which campground were you at? It looks like there are several to choose from. Living in Nebraska it’d be quite a trip! A couple more years and then we will have more time. 😊

We always cam at Ruby's Inn Campground. Everything is accessible from there.

Beautiful place. Hope to visit there sometimes soon. Glad all is well with you both. I'm wondering if a two way radio would be something for travel plans.
