Monday I needed a golf day before leaving Utah because I was told some of Utah’s nicest courses were in St. George. I went to one recommended to me called Sand Hollow. It was as very nice course and I ended up getting paired up with some great guys. Jamie didn’t play as her legs were acting up from all the hiking. As it turns out she went to the doctor and she has a torn tendon. We have no…
Sunday we hit Bryce canyon. This one blew us away. I think this may be my favorite of all the national parks we’ve been to so far. Even more impressive than the grand canyon. The rock formations here were really amazing. I took a ton of pictures and tried to ween them down but they were so awesome I could only narrow it down to 36. Jamie packed some snacks and an adult beverage for us to have while we…
Friday we left for southwestern Utah staying at a koa in St. George, Utah. As it turned out they were hosting an annual seniors men’s sporting event called Huntsman senior games so it was hard to find a campground but we lucked out. Saturday it was off to the parks again starting with Zion national park. You can only drive through certain areas of Zion so they offer a bus that takes you through the main park. We got a…

But as you can see from the video the medium trail definitely gives you a challenge. Jamie did get best to video while being more than just a little nervous. After the trails we went to a house that was built into a rock many years ago that is now a museum….
Wednesday was our first experience off roading with the jeep. Moab is full of trails for all types of vehicles and all skill and experience levels. Of course, we started slow with easy trails but even so had allot of fun with it and, again, saw spectacular rock formations. We brought lunch with us and found a great spot on top of a rock formation that had a rock bridge carved out on top. There was a plaque up there…
The next month was consumed with work and family. Along with work I went to NH to stay with my mom while Sue and Dan took a much needed vacation. Jamie also combined with with going to Michigan to help Brent and Ashley start on wedding plans. We also went to Myrtle Beach for our annual home owner’s meeting. We finally returned to Salt Lake on 10/7. Then we left for Moab on the 9th. We didn’t waste any of…
