We like to travel Texas and Utah in particular. Utah is so clean and the scenery breathtaking. Last year we stopped in St. George for several days, the older part, and that was very interesting.<<<
St. George is lovely, we spent 2 nights there about 25 years ago, LOL, I was taking a college history of Mohave County class and it included a field trip to Pipe Springs National Monument, which is actually in Mohave County.
It was before the boom hit and still a lovely small town, lovely and I would have loved living there.
If you want a photo taking trip, go to Flagstaff, Az, cross over Page Dam and go into Utah, go the eastern route and when you get to the road that goes to Cedar City.
I took rolls of film, saw sights that I did not know existed, and fell in love with Utah on that trip.
I had intended to spend a night in Cedar City and go on to Reno, Nevada, where my brother and I thought we might like to retire.
Instead I spent the week in a cheap motel at Cedar City and never have got to Reno.
Like you, I require wide open spaces and less people is better, it is good that I am on the way out, for I would hate the next 80 years in this world.
I was born in the Panhandle of Texas, and that is an area that I do not want to live in again.
I looked up Cedar City and remembered we had seen a sign for it while we were driving around the St. George ara and Bryce Canyon and Zion Natl park. It must be a thriving city with 20,000 population. We must go there next time we are out that way. Probably sooner rather than later as we are due for a trip somewhere. We hate to leave our collie at the kennel for too long but we need at least two weeks for exploring. We have a great place in the country, over in Okla, that boards her and she is well taken care of but still we would take her with us if we could. This reminds me that we need to store dog food and I am thinking about four or six months should get us past any crisis. Hopefully!
