i remember being struck in utah with the thought that it was almost like another planet...so much beauty, just like your pictures have captured...wow! and when people call this the prison planet...well, i know there is a lot of bad stuff that happens on earth, but lordy lordy, just get in the car (or RV) and drive and wash that bad stuff out of your mind...look at what everyone is missing in their flyovers too...get in the car and forget being patted down at the airport...look at this BEAUTY! great job stan (and thanks for the platform for my rant too, hee hee!)
