Utah Vacation Saga Post Seven – EPIC 500+ Mile Road Trip – Capitol Reef And Lake Powell

OK, so it’s taken a while for me to get this post up.  Yes, I’ve been a bit of a slacker, but that’s not the only reason.  The rest of the story is that there are just so many pictures.  We left Price, UT at about 0900 on Thursday and got back at 0100 on [...]

Sitrep & Thoughts Of Cooler Times

Folks, I ain’t gonna lie to y’all.  This week at work’s been a bit rougher than usual and I’ve just been flat-out tired.  There’s still a few more posts to come with lots of pics from the Utah Vacation Saga.  I doubt another one will appear tonight what with the root canal I’m fixin’ to [...]

Utah Vacation Saga Post Four – Down at the Swimmin’ Hole

Yes, there’s a real city owned swimming pool in Price, UT.  But many of the kids in town would rather swim in a place like this   It’s an irrigation canal and it’s normally a bit deeper than it was the day I took this picture.  We only had water up to our waist and [...]

Day two of the trip didn’t start too early, but we still had quite a bit of adventure Two things you’ll find in abundance in Carbon County, UT are coal mines and railroads.  This was a very quick pic taken with my cellphone because I thought Glenn would like it Cindy’s grandma may be 90 [...]

The Traveler’s Assortment

More reports/pictures coming in from the road.   Jeff will have more interesting things to say about the “mining” pictures, I’m sure.  Of course, I just love seeing the open sky and the scenery.  Altho, I told him I might have a bit of “reverse claustrophobia” out there.  Seems awfully empty.  But I know that’s what [...]

Grand Canyon of the North

Pictures keep coming in from the road!! Our Traveler says this is the Wedge Overlook at the San Rafael Swell.  How neat is this?  A desert waterfall!  And into every life a little rain must fall! And then there’s some locals who think you’re where you don’t belong!  So that’s it for today from our [...]
