   I'm curious if you intentionally passed on camping at Kodachrome   
   St Park?  It is maybe close to 30 minutes beyond the highway, so   
   that could sure be a factor.

   I keep active on my cell phone plan an option to use it as a   
   hotspot for just this reason.  It's not optimal, but better than   
   nothing if I need to plan routes (car or bike), campgrounds, or   
   activities.  My Acadia came with a data plan, so I can use it as a   
   hotspot if my phone isn't getting enough signal (two different   
   carriers).   
      
   I'm a little jealous of your visit to the Escalante Grand   
   Staircase.  That's very much on my list, but we didn't have time   
   to see much of it when we were there a year ago.  We did get   
   distant views from Bryce and Kodachrome, but distant.   
      
   Thanks for the reports and the pics!
