Well, yes. I get it now

I love your part of the country and intended to visit this last year. Maybe next year we’ll make it again

I’ve been a fan of So. Utah since I moved here 50 years ago and while not a bush hugger by any stretch, have worked hard through the years to keep things out such as strip mining the Kaparowitz plateau and the constructing of the Kaparowitz power plant.

And worked the super fund Uranium tailings cleanup project in the early 80’s

Started boating Lake Powell when the annual visitor numbers were less than 10,000 a year (now over 1 million).

most of my profile page is dedicated to the beauty of So. Utah...

UB I will absolutely try to grab ma and come down to the viewing, I love all the history from the Fremonts all the way back to the Anisazi’s and would enjoy seeing y’all again...

for the non familiar, some pics we’ve taken through the years while traveling to and from powell, I take different routes home to keep the trip from becoming monotonous
