Kinda cold last night, with rain spitting occasionally.
Climbed in the sleeping as early, but the bickersons family cross the way were exercising their predominate communication style till about midnight, conversational yelling and bitching from different tents.
The teenagers take after the folks as a real todo happens about 4 am, with many many F bombs hurled. Eventually getting the parents out of their tent, and then the father left and drove away. Did not see him again.

Sooooo, I slept in a bit to catch up, and cause it was cold and cloudy.
Hoping to do one more night over the mountain before reaching Cedar City.
As I ride, the mountains are still socked in, but clearing is slowly happening behind me in tbe desert near St George. I am rooting for the clearing to accelerate my way as the clouds are still dark and low where I am heading. There is a stiff head wind, and this is some of the coldest I have been riding. It is steadily uphill this morning,  at that usually keeps me warm, but not today. By noon I am about 10 miles into my 35, with no local relief to clouds and cold. Indeed, I can still see my breath, and the mountain tops are white with snow. I contemplate heading back to Veyo since it is cold and threatening. I decide for a short day and go off route a few miles to the Pine Valley Recreation Site and camp; we will see what the morrow beings. I am hoping some referenced cafés and store is open in Pine Valley itself, but only on weekends this late. I do get cell service and check forecasts. Sunny tomorrow and partially on Wednesday. I also top off my water at the heritage center in town before doing the last few easy miles to camp grounds.
I setup the tent and pile on the clothes. Hanging is too cold in the grey day,  so I walk around and observe Pine Valley. The snow line looks to be maybe 500-700'  above the valley, clinging to the trees and is super white as the sun starts peaking  through. I walk and watch the delicate interplay between green trees and snowline, sun, clouds, snow and cliffs, ever changing ever slowly. My life slows down to natures cadence. And I am more than fine with that.
