OK, as promised, here is the first installment of our trip summary;
Day 1; drove from home (Lake Wildwood, Ca., near Grass Valley) to Ely, Nv., approx. 420 miles. Just a long day of driving with minimal stops along the way. Here is a link to a brief (and boring) slideshow of a pretty long and boring day. This then set us up for about a 5 hour drive into Zion the next day when the trip really starts (day one was just a necessary evil :R )

Not so beautiful scenery through the Nv. desert.
