Escalante Canyon

After a good night's sleep (by "good" I mean cold, by "sleep" I mean intermittment dozing broken up by various things failing to work in the campervan such as the heating, batteries, water-pump etc) we went for a hike along Calf Creek, which follows the base of the canyon all the way to a spectacular waterfall at the far end. Again, the rock formations and size of the place is just amazing - each of the canyons are also so different from each other. There was ancient rock-art created by Fremon Indians around 800 years ago, and the waterfall itself with it's crystal clear pool at the bottom looked like something straight off a movie set, or pinched from one of the casinos in Las Vegas.

When we got back to the van, we found that the water had frozen in the grey water tank and cracked some of the piping, which is a bit annoying as there is now a steady trickle of water (thankfully not the 'black' water!) coming out of the van which we'll need to get fixed. Given all the other problems we had the previous night, we decided to press on towards Moab where we can get everything looked at by an RV mechanic. Unfortunately, this means missing out one of the National Parks we had intended to visit but Moab is supposed to be great for mountain-biking, so we might spend a few days there.
