Comfort Inn & Suites Cedar City

... a camper, but a resident of Kanarraville. He lived next door in a trailer with a bunch of chickens. He was busy corralling his rooster around my van when he introduced himself. Yup. Small town. Thought it was best to leave Roxi IN the van at that point. He waved me over to his place once the rooster was lassooed and gave me a half dozen fresh farm egss...technically free range as they walk about the main road just in front ...

... fooffer was getting all dirty! I was so proud. I climbed down and helped her to the top, explaining how to find the stable rocks to step on and to avoid the loose dirt. She was so animated with grunts and nervous ohhhs, she is growing up so fast.<br><br>We drove to Cedar City for dinner at Ninja Japanese steakhouse. We were all starving and the food was hot and fast&#8230;perfect. Cleo chowed down on steak and loved the soup. Clayton, with napkin tied ...

... ceased in 1994. <br><br>Most of the ore was shipped by rail to Provo for smelting. It is estimated that at least 150 million tons remains in just one ore body in this area. However, the cost of recovering this ore presently is not competitive with recycled iron and steel.<br><br>Not much remains here due to "human scavengers." But if you apply a little imagination you just might conjure up the heat of the ovens and the ...

... the art of how to motivate a 5-year-old pretty well down pat now - you have to think of what makes him move. This time the idea of visiting M&amp;M World made Zac move pretty quickly. It open early and was withing a brisk walking distance (read within 1km - given the size of the casinos here. Turns out M&amp;M World is pretty much just a four story shop devote to the small round candy-covered chocolates. If you can think it up, they seem to ...

... tranquil. It is right on the Virgin River. The kids would like it because you can launch tubes right from the campground. We are right at the main entrance to the camp. We settled in and set up camp. Actually, John did it all. He is setting up the rig like a pro. We even got out the leveling blocks like the big rigs. We ate outside under the stars and ALL agreed that this was our best meal yet ...

... calcium etc etc etc" I went for the energy shot, figured I needed it after last night! A quick visit to Walmart to pick up cooler boxes, binoculars and essentials, and we're on our way to Duck Creek and Ricky's Cabin! The journey took us about 3 hours, but wow, what a journey! We'd always just seen it a s necessary journey from A to B, but it was breathtaking. We left the neon of Vegas, traveled through deserts and huge ...

... is Blistex and saline nose spray. It might not be as dusty where we're headed now, we do know it will be cooler. Until yesterday, we had not seen any clouds or road kill. Well, yesterday, there were about four small clouds that lasted no time, and today I saw something on the road, probably a bunny. The streak couldn't't last forever. Tonight we're eating in. A very camp like dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. OK, not so ...

... it too. Feeling inspired by this drive and full of energy, we parked and walked up to the top of a further mountain (just to get some photos of the viewpoint). The climb was rated as moderate, but I have to say that after the climb we disputed the grading of the National Park. The climb was very steep and in places on the edge of a huge drop. Just to add to this potentially lethal mix, there was still some ice and snow on the path. My ...

... When the Colorado River flooded in the 1920's it was decided to build a massive dam to hold back the river as well as provided energy. It is built near the city of Boulder and this leads to an interesting tale. At least I thought it was interesting so I am repeating it now for your benefit. The city of Boulder was basically created to accommodate the workers building the dam. It took two years and during this time 126 men died. (Interestingly, the first man to die and the last man to die ...

... the night was New York New York. This hotel has the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and other major New York sights. Once we had donated enough to that hotel we decided to call it a night. Time flies in Vegas, there are no clocks anywhere and so there is no concept of time. I guess that is how so many people lose so much money (that and the free grog). We were out for over nine hours without even realising it. 24 hours a day people are gambling ...
