Southern Utah

After Nevada there was a brief flirtation with Arizona as I followed I 15 towards St George and Hurricane alone the Virgin river.  This is an excellent drive but there was nowhere to pull over in I15 and grab a photo, so you'll just have to do it yourself or see it it in Google Maps / Street View.

I notice the many Morman names of things.  Zion National Park.  Brigham Road.  Virgin river.  

The Southern Utonians are nice folk. I've already been bantered at twice.  This is in contrast to the ZZ Top dude who rented me my room in Nevada. He wasn't not nice, he wasn't nice; he was courteous and respectful.  And exceedingly fuzzy.

The scenery is of strata of rock tilted at off angles.  Imagine a mountain painted red, sawn off, and then turned on its side.  Common around here.  Skies to match, especially at sunset when the everything is red: earth, sky, clouds.
