Cedar Breaks, etch

Nice prime rib the first night on the road.  Didn't eat any bread or potatoes.  Was only $6.99 at the Casino.

16 oz. Ham steak with all the trimmings.  I asked for no toast or potatoes.  Back at the casino, the $3.99 breakfast special.  Lanny had a nice omlette.

Sailing along at 10,299 feet elevation right here.  Up by Cedar Breaks

A beautiful National Monument

This young lady is giving Biglefti instructions on how to use a cross bow

Gunfight at high noon. There were several booths centered around the upcoming Wildflower weekend.  We competed is a few on them.

Ranger's house where they hold lectures and activities

One of dozens of photos I took up here.  It was 61 degrees up here at 10,350 feet.  Was 91 when we pulled out of Mesquite around 7 AM

A small Utah pack horse.

Different minerals in the rock make it very colorful down in the Canyon.

Biglefti looking like a typical tourist.  He had been carrying on a conversation with a guy here....but the guy only spoke French :-)

We stopped at 4 different over-looks.  All spectacular.

A very clean, well run park.  The rangers were all very courteous, and there was lots of activities going on.

Every parking place in the lot was taken.  We were able to slid in here.

Was difficult trying to decide which pictures to post. Guess this is enough. 

Our last stop before heading down the mountain

Old Drug store sign in Panguitch, UT

Interesting small town

Loy's Cafe.  We had an EXCELLENT Cobb salad in here.  Was nice eating by this river.

Thunder and lightning, and immanent rain on the way 

Just a couple BIG drops so far.  We're going to suit up before heading out

A line little town I'd like to return to someday.

I'm not bailing him out!

The rain stopped after about an hour of some heavy stuff, and lots of lightning and thunders boomers. It was on an off for about another hour.  We're drying out now.

Along Hwy 89

Lanny wanted to her higher for a good picture of the river.  Couldn't get footing and about came tumbling down the mountain!

Lanny was happy to be back down.  It's 8:20 PM now.  We had a nice dinner in Lisa's Cafe in Nephi, UT, and are now back in the room watching the NASCAR race.  It was another almost perfect day. Would have been a 10 if we hadn't had the rain :-)
