(sing along) a three hour tour

We took a three hour guided bus tour of Bryce this morning.  That was after a night of 32 degrees and no heat.  Oh boy were we nestled under those blankets!  We suspect we lost battery power and the furnace wouldn't come on.  BBBUUUUTTT rather then fool around with all that we just got in the car , came to the park for a hot breakfast , and took the bus so we could see some sites.  Such a good decision!

We started at the top: 

... and worked our way down.

And yes - we could see the storm clouds dumping rain off in the distance - its coming our way this afternoon:

But the weather changes so fast it's amazing!  Here's slightly different views of the same mountain taken 7 or 8 minutes apart.  In the first picture the tops are in a haze and in the second - you can see the snowy peaks.

And yes its CCOOOLLLLDDD - its a snowy day in May!  Lots more pictures in the Bryce Canyon slideshow on the right side of the blog - 

We've had a hot lunch and are driving back to feed the Casita some battery power and see if La Senorita Casita will bless us with some hot air,
