We got back Wednesday night, after a great 6700 mile journey to southern Utah. I
can't believe I've waited this long to see what that place has to offer. We
started with the Colorado National Monument then went on to Arches National Park
and Canyonlands National Park while staying in Moab, UT. We then went to Bryce
Canyon NP, stopping at Capitol Reef NP on the way. Utah Highway 12 is probably
the most scenic of all the 'Scenic Byways' in the United States. We spent four
nights in the Bryce Canyon area, and could have used a couple more. The place is
unreal.

From Bryce Canyon we went through the Dixie National Forest down to the North
Rim of the Grand Canyon. The North Rim, to me anyway, is much more beautiful
than the South Rim, so I'm glad we went the way we did. After a couple days
there, we took off for Zion National Park, spending a few days seeing the sights
there. The next stop was Page, AZ, where we took a tour of the Lower Antelope
Canyon. This is another of those otherworldly places that is just beautiful. A
night in Page, and we were on our way to Monument Valley, in the Navajo Nation.
Yes, I bought my turquoise belt buckles and a ring. Typical tourist.

A few days and nights in Monument Valley and we headed for Albuquerque, NM, to
visit my wife's sister. By then we were ready to get home, and put in a few 600
mile days to get here.


Will get some pictures up soon, but have a whole potfull to organize.

If you've not been to southern Utah, it's an experience you should try. The
place is amazing. With all the sights we've seen, I'd go back again tomorrow
just to see the stuff we missed - and we missed a lot!

I had no idea Utah was that far. I was a little farther west than you
for a week, out in Nevada, and it only took 4.5 hours to go the 2400 miles.

How many miles was it on the way back to Alexandria?

Especially the non-boating-related ones.

Are any of your neighbors teahadists?
Call the FBI.

No, all of them. That way, the spoofer/asswipes can ogle over Johnnys
trip. No one here will have to get ill.

Excellent, John! And I was so glad to meet you and Mrs. Herring for
lunch. I trust the cat had a great time as well.

You had to go all the way to Las Vegas to get laid? Are the cat houses in Huntingtown closed for the winter already?

I doubt he has too many political pictures for you. Maybe a few lazy
union workers smoking pot and drinking beer for lunch...

He's into the bathhouses, of course.
