So I've changed my plans. I initially chose Zion as a destination because, well, everything else was far out of the way. But I have decided that I like the desert more. So while I would like to see Zion, on my limited time, I am going to shuffle things in favor of the desert.
First, I am going to stay in Deva tonight and head to Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada tomorrow, where I will probably stay only one night. On the way, I will check out Ryolite and gold boom town which is now a ghost town. This will take me through Vegas, so I might have to stop for a sweet all you can eat buffet and some cards. Hmmmm. Maybe that is how I will be able to afford my second camera body.
After a night in VoF I am going to cross the Hoover Dam for the second time in my life and drive to Holbrook AZ - the closest town to The Petrified Forest. This will give me more time in the Petrified Forest and Painted Desert. I was initially planning on staying only 1 night here, which would mean less than half a day to visit and photograph.
From there, it's long driving days through the middle part of the country, but there is plenty of "Weird America" type stuff to see, so I might get some good shots of the Giant Cross in Texas, or the Woody Guthrie Statue (really).

Somewhere on I-20 in Texas, there's a little town with a Davy Crockett museum (well probably several, but this one had a big billboard circa 1998). My family and I stopped there one summer and had a blast at all of their tourist trap exhibits.
