We packed up, unhooked and were soon on our way down Scenic Utah Highway 12 from Escalante toward our next stop in Hurricane, Utah.
Since we couldn’t take the trailer through Zion, we made a roundabout trip across the northern tip of northern Arizona and back into Utah through the polygamous havens of Short Creek, Arizona, and Hilldale, Utah. Short Creek (now named Colorado City) was the former home of Warren Jeffs, the convicted child sex offender and president of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, a polygamous cult based in Arizona.
With only the one wife I came with, we left Short Creek and continued north to the KOA in Hurricane, Utah.
I’m not a big fan of commercial RV parks where rigs are packed together tighter than sardines in a can, and this was one of them.
We were assigned a site at the end of a row, which looked ideal on the map, but it had a bad slant to it.
Even with three or four blocks under the low-side wheels, the trailer was still not level.
Wife was not happy, and as all of us married guys know
unhappy wife = unhappy life.
We talked to a park honcho and the next morning we got to move to a far better site.
Wife is now happy. I’m happy.
Even the penguin is happy.
