Over here in Mount Carmel, the Mormons of Long Valley show great respect for our activities in bringing a new perspective to the region. They also understand my position on the matter of religion.
Do they talk behind my back? Of course, but have most likely confused me with someone who gives a shit.

That’s beautiful. I luv Mt. Carmel and Southern Utah as anyone would. Never lived there but been through it at least 50 times on my way to or from SLC, flown over the whole area for many hours just touring from the top.
And like I said...living in rural Northern Utah was just fine. People were a bit peculiar...but just people.
And omt now that its quiet on this thread.
I grew up about a mile from Dixon’s house in Tucson.
The view in Cloudbanks and Shadows was also the view out our front door.
My grandparents knew him casually in the 40s; it was a small town then but with many interesting people.
dont think I ever knew about the house at Mt. Carmel - great idea to open it. Have been planning to do that drive someday soon, need to take my kid through the real West. Maybe we’ll stop by, still love Dixon’s work.
It’s the West I remember.
