April 9. 6 mi. W. Nacoja Bridge, Seconio Co., Utah Found a campsite. I re-organized our equipment, then brought food in to have lunch at 3:30 PM. A few snow flakes began falling, and by 4:00 PM the canyon was rapidly being covered with a wet snow. We packed back into the car and I decided to take one more trip back to Monarch Canyon - 30 miles away - to see if topping was possible yet - for this was the last opportunity to top today. We arrived at 5:30, and the wind was blowing about 35 mph, steady, but the cold air made the overall temperatures being in the 40's, and rain was lightly coming down. We decided that it was pointless to try here, and headed for Waldo Hole, Arizona. Due to our late start, we arrived in St. George, Utah about 9:30 at night. Ross was more anxious to camp, and offered to pay for a motel room. He did, and we spent the night in a noisy motel room at the east end of St. George. It made me appreciate the quiet of the desert (although it did have a shower) even more than before. The room had only one bed, so I used our camp cot.
