But, I did spring for private campgrounds for six of those days.<\/p>\n<p>Two nights, I found myself without a campsite and the weather took a turn for the worse, so I bit the bullet and took two nights in a &#8220;resort&#8221;. All the charm of parking in a gravel parking lot &#8211; but they had good showers, laundry facilities, pool and hot tub. I stuck my feet in the hot tub for a few minutes while I was waiting for the clothes to dry.<\/p>\n<p>I sprung for four nights at Rudy&#8217;s RV Park just outside Bryce Canyon National Park. I didn&#8217;t know what I would find there, so, again, I bit the bullet. Little did I know that there was FREE camping in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campendium.com\/georges-gift\">National Forest<\/a> between the RV Park and Bryce Canyon! I was the first person to post about this spot on Campendium.com, so I got to name it! Click on the link if you want to find out what I found.<\/p>\n<p>I also decided to buy one of those trackers that keeps track of steps taken, amount of sleep and pulse rate. I haven&#8217;t figured out how to get the pulse function functioning, but I am doing really good with the sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m feeling good about April&#8217;s expenses.<\/p>\n<p>I have a feeling that May is going to be another story. But more about that later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, glory be! April has been the least expensive month so far this year!
