So, the mouse from the previous night apparently traveled with us from Bryce to outside Kanab, Utah. Marc was up and down for two hours during the night trying to figure out where he was and catch him in the act. Little Bugger averted a trap baited with a sunflower seed and again with a piece of carrot. But third time was a charm. He was caught and the trap thrown outside. But apparently he brougth family because a little while later, the noise started up again. Marc went back outside and got the trap, reset it, and caught the second mouse on the second try. Two down, hopefully none to go.
We started out toward the Grand Canyon, with a stop at the National Staircase Escalante visitors' center dinosaur display. I may not know a pictograph from a petroglyph, but know I know the difference between archeology and paleontology. Then on past Lake Powell and into Grand Canyon National Park. Did all the typical touristy things: picnicked, walked the rim trail, watched a couple of ranger talks on geology and condors, and stopped by the visitors' center.
Tonight we're holed up in the Kaibob National Forest. Free camping but, unlike the previous two nights, this time there are lots of spur roads and lots of other campers not too far away. And, hopefully, no mice.
