Always breaking into new territory the Kadizzilites headed out for the days adventure at Zion National Park. Wayne, and Ruth took the day off, but Kadizzle, The Commander, Myra, and Rodger made the trek. When the group reached the farthest point in the wilderness ever reached by senior citizens it was time to make a decision. Where next should we push the known boundaries of those with dementia? Kadizzle wanted to go toward the Virgin river and peer into the canyon. However, he lost to the rest of the group that spotted a huge arch off in the distance. The decision was made to head for the arch. At the beginning there was debate as to if it really was an arch. After some trekking the band finally got close enough for a clear view. There was no arch. The sunlight had cast itself on the rocks to create an illusion. Not one to give in easily The Commander thought perhaps we had not gone to the right place, but even The Commander finally admitted we had been fooled. As the angle of the sun changed it became apparent how the sun shine had fooled us. It was a crystal clear day and a premier hike. On the way back to base camp we saw a momma Big horn sheep and three triplets beside the road. The day had a wonderful ending as the explorers cooked on an open camp fire. The mesquite smoke seeped into Kadizzles steak for a wonderful flavor. Kadizzle played a round of horse shoes with the guys next door, and ended the night sitting by the camp fire. Does it get any better?
