The Adventures of Sock Monkey, Odus, and everyone else who comes along Volume #7

   I guess I must continue on with the adventures. Moving on now! In the morning, after our hot breakfast, we started off to Zion NP. On the way there, we drove through a tunnel that was so long, I stopped wondering where the end was after about the twentieth light from the holes in the wall. But that's beside the point. We stopped by the visitor center (after a few wrong turns along the way) and my mom got a Junior Ranger booklet because she wanted one, and I got a Junior Ranger booklet for my cousin in the UK. It took me three days to finish the whole thing. Three days. My cousin better enjoy my gift now. (Just kidding!) We decided to "take an easy hike" and went for the Emerald Pools, the upper one to be exact. The lower pool was super easy. The middle one? Eh. The upper one? No. Not really.

Afterwards, we stopped under the bridge that led to the trail and I played in the water of the Virgin River for a while. After I was done playing, my mom and I headed back to the visitor center via the shuttle system that took you up and down the park. We checked into our hotel in Springdale and stopped by a supermarket to grab some food. The hotel didn't have a microwave so we had to microwave the food and eat in the grocery store. Well, I guess I should be done so questions or comments or whatever, comments are accepted so feel free to send (almost) anything!  Other than that, I guess I'm done so thanks for reading!

  1. Watch out the squirrel at UP Emerald Pool - They will un-zip your bag and steal your food. It was super easy hike, love it.
