Meandering to Utah

We love southern Utah! 

We have been visiting this area for close to 30 years and keep coming back and discovering new sites, hikes, and beauty every time we spend time here!  We try to vary the route here every time and we take our time, usually at least a couple of weeks or more.
This time we veered all the way to San Diego to spend some time with Stuart, Sara, and their boys Dayshawn and Michael as they just relocated there this last June.  Along the way we spent a few days at Heyburn S.P. on Lake Coeur d'lene in northern Idaho with our friends Carl and Mimi, down through Idaho and Nevada to see our friend Cathy Cox in Lake Tahoe and then onto San Diego.
Today we are a few days in Hurricane, Utah after 2 nights in Springdale at the doorstep of Zion N.P. and 2 nights of great music at the annual Zion Canyon Music Festival.
October 2nd we head to Mount Carmel Junction where we will park Obi Wander (our 23' trailer)
for a month and just explore, ride bikes, and play golf (amongst other things)!

So, now you are pretty much up to date and you can expect my token effort at capturing some of the incomparable beauty of this area.

Sorry to hear about the weather back home sounds kind of cold and wet.  We have been in the 80's almost everywhere we've been, although this current cold front has pushed temps here down to the mid 70's.  

We would love to hear from you all and hope all is well for each of you!
Below are a few pics from our sojourn up to this point
