Title: Utah
Post by: JoJoDapyro on January 29, 2015, 11:12:15 am
I made the three hour drive to St. George Utah yesterday for my grandpas funeral. Utah is an awesome place. I slept last night with the sliding glass door open at the condo. Where else in the world can you go from high desert, to alpine forest, to redrock country all in a few hours?

Justin Snyder lives in St George. He may have put the roofs on some of those buildings.

Thanks Fred. He was 93, and has been really sick for about a year. We will sure miss him and his brand of sarcasm, but it was a blessing.

Sorry bout your gramps joe, here just a few hours in any direction you can be in the hi desert, snow skiing, fishing one of the best trout rivers in the country or at the ocean or hiking a volcano and that trout river is 5 min from my front door, if it wasn't calif it might be perfect

I really like it in Utah. I grew up down there in Southern Utah, and I have lived in lots of great places since--Ohio, Missouri, Texas, and even Berlin, Germany.  But I was happy to come back.

Sorry about your Grand Pa Joe. Yea, Justin fell through a tile roof and hurt his back a few years ago.

Thanks all. It was a good trip. Good to see family. The military honors were what got me. The American Legion in St. George has a lot of members. They do honor their fallen. Awesome to see 30+ men and women there just to honor my Gramps. Now I'm back at home and have to do it all again tomorrow.

It is beautiful, but not a place that the amateurs should mess around. Just south of here there is a hike that at least one person dies on every year. It gets super hot in the summer.
