Journal Travel Day July 7 (Hurajo's Drive) to Tree Not Pee, Arizona. There I picked up (Crest) U.S. 160 and continued west. Beyond Black Mesa, I turned northwest onto Arizona Hwy 98 to Page, where I got U.S. Hwy 89. This I followed northwest into Utah, passing through Kanab. At the Canal Junction north of Kanab, I turned west onto Utah State Highway 9, through Zion National Park to the Utah Towns of Springdale, Rockville and Drapton. The Virgin River in this area was recommended by Boble as a possible collecting locality. There are resort towns based on their proximity to Zion National Park, and the river front, while having a fair riparian woodland intermittently, was in its ownership of a succession of motels; the holding of individual properties were too small to assemble be expected to provide enough hide. Down river, the riparian vegetation had been either mostly cleared or lost to flood. Where some cottonwoods were visible from the road, I stopped to watch & listen for goldfinches. In four twelve I heard none. For some reason I continued to every field, and since it was by this time 17:30, I returned to the national park to pitch my sleeping tent, make supper, write notes & turn in early, to make an early start tomorrow. Weather during the drive was clear until just past Page, Arizona. Then scattered T-clouds were seen to the west. Cloud cover became almost solid while passing through Zion N.P. Rain held off until just after sunset, 21:30, and then it fell as a cloudburst! High temp today was about 85° I'm guessing, since I spent almost all day in my vehicle.
