One of the best ways to see Bryce Canyon County is to drive the Scenic Byways and Backways. We enjoyed the Scenic Byway 12 as we headed East. Yes, we are coming HOME. At one point on this drive, we reached an elevation of over 9000 ft. There was a sighting of SNOW on the side of the road. This made us HOMESICK.
This drive was long, but absolutely beautiful and breath taking at times. Please remember if you ever travel this way......THERE ARE NO GAS STATIONS IN UTAH
After traveling about 4 hours on the beautiful Scenic Byway 12, we reached Interstate 70, which is also very picturesque and I do mean really beautiful. As it was getting late, we checked our Next Exit Book to find a campsite. The next site was 60 miles away in Green River, Utah. Not bad. As Dee drove, enjoying the scenery, she realized we were low on gas. She asked John to check and see which Exit had gas services. OH! NO! 60 miles away in Green River. So our ride was not only breathtaking, it was down right scary. We did make it............When we filled up with gas. We took over 29 gallons in our 30 gallon tank. Those two dummies forgot the rule:
NEVER LET THE TANK GO BELOW HALF
The scared Gray Hare
