Today was another travel day. We regretted leaving Red Canyon Village RV Park, Cabins and Campground since it had pretty good wifi, full hookups, was relatively quiet at night despite its proximity to Scenic Highway 12 and we had great views out our windows. We could have easily spent another few days there. The only drawback was the 7000 feet of elevation where the park is located. The noises my respiratory system made while living here resembled the gasping and hissing noises that usually emanate from steam engines. I just don’t seem to do well at elevated altitudes anymore. Being old sucks.
We left the park, drove a bit west to US-89 where we went north for about 20 miles until getting to UT-20 over the mountains and down to I-15. We headed south on I-15 for about 75 miles eventually pulling off near Hurricane, UT. Based on the appearance of the colorful but parched landscape here, it seems plain they have never had a hurricane anywhere near here. We checked into the St. George KOA. We normally avoid KOA campgrounds because they always turn out to be shit. This one is no exception; the wifi is shaky, the individual RV spaces are puny and nearly as level as the Himalayas and I-15 is clearly within view and definitely within earshot. We got our reservation here through RPI, one of our campground services, so we get to stay here for $14 a night which is dirt cheap. My inherent cheapness overcame my common sense and we are scheduled for 3 nights. Unfortunately, the temperatures here today hung right between 98 and 102 until the sun went down.
