One per cent humidity just before we left Tucson

The Vermilion Cliffs

Morning at Deer Creek (Utah) campground, clouds, aspens

CEDAR CITY, UT - - We left Tucson Tuesday afternoon and headed toward Goldfield, NV.  When people in Arizona explain 'It's a dry heat and not really that hot' at 105 degrees and one per cent humidity. Still, it's pretty darn hot.
    After spending the night in Flagstaff it was time to roll on.   Around Noon, we crossed the Navajo Bridge across the Colorado River and followed the empty highway and the Vermilion Cliffs while they mostly parallel the river.
     It would be cooler at higher elevations Monday night so once into Utah we headed for one of our favorite campgrounds,  Sure enough, it was 52 degrees this morning.  But we expect a very hot day and plenty of desert scenery on our 300 mile jaunt to Goldfield.
     Right now we're drinking coffee and doing the wi-fi thing at another favorite stop:  The  Grind in  "Historic" Cedar City...the last "big" center of any kind for a long time.
