Bryce Canyon (Mike)

Yesterday, we took Elder and Sister Hall, from Buckeye AZ; formally from the Twin Falls area, with us to Bryce Canyon. It was a nice day; partly cloudy, with a few thunder showers around. We arrived at Bryce Canyon in time for lunch at Ruby's Inn, then went on up to the canyon. It had been raining, so the colorful rocks were at their best. We got in some good photography with the rocks and clouds in the background. We then enjoyed the drive back to Cedar City over Cedar Mountain. While stopping at the Zion Narrows overlook, Monty Holt and his wife pulled up. They are good friends from the Temple View RV Park in St. George. It was good to see them. They will be missed this winter. All of the scenery was beautiful and the rain showers seemed to be just ahead of us so we didn’t get rained on. The day was cool and refreshing. We stopped in Cedar City at Wal-Mart for some shopping, then on to Cal Ranch for Western clothing. We got vests and western shirts. We are always asked to dress western style for different activities. It was a good time getting out in nature and getting to know the Halls. They are going to be spending the winter with us here at the fort, and are good old country folk. He spent some time on the rodeo circuit so we have many similar experiences of growing up. They are a few years older than us…. but who isn’t these days? It will be good having them around this winter and next summer. We arrived home to find that it had rained again here at the fort, which is good.
