Ore At St George By Evrentals St. George

... sand dunes. Now they look like that but I struggle to believe that something like a sand dune could be effectively fossilised. I think that this are simple banks of more resistant sandstone that has been inclined through about 30 degrees – but what do I know I am a chemist and not even a very good one of those!

There trails in the park are fairly short but with a little imagination I joined the dots and made ...

... sat nav said it was Henderson Nevada but I knew it was Las Vegas. Again I plan to be in LV but not just yet! And I picked a rotten time to swing by – rush hour! Being away for so long week days and week ends – let alone rush hours – have lost all meaning and I am never prepared for them. In the heaving downtown traffic me and the sat nav swapped some harsh words after the instruction "keep left now exit" had me trying to get across 4 ...

... sooooo hot in my boots. So off to St. George I go which, apparently, is WAY bigger than Cedar City...and way warmer ;o) So here I am. I was very grumpy yesterday. Very tired. I wasn't sleeping well for a while...first cause of my hip (majorly tweaked after a heroic save from landing on my ass in a creek...), then early mornings in Zion, and then, just because...! But, I slept better last night. They have a Costco here and everything...it's been soooo ...

... we woke up to some nasty winds and clouds, but decided to hit the wall anyways, it was cold but extremly fun!! Heather lead her first climb, and she cleand the rout too (it was sweet!!!) dan lead his first 5.10 A and did it without major difficulty and even cleand the route. Today is looking worst than yesorday, we woke up to ...

St.George ist ein verschlafenes nest im staate Utah, aber supergünstig. unterkunft, essen und benzin erhielten wir nirgends günstiger, keine ahnung weshalb!

Boulder City ist der ausgangspunkt für einen ausflug zum hoover dam. wir liessen uns da von einem old ...

... that the mesa is much farther away than it first appeared. I have only a little water and start to question myself. Here are some of the thoughts randomly passing through my mind: "Rattlesnakes: eyes down." "Mountain lions: eyes up." "Thirsty: Conserve water." "Stupid, Kelley. Stupid." "You know, you don't always have to follow impulse." The mesa was haunted ...

... straight road through Utah. At least they're occasional. Our late start this morning means we didn't get into the park, but we'll hit it tomorrow. We got as far as St. George, Utah, which is nestled in a rocky landscape. The terrain changes have been truly fascinating. More to come. Off to the Grand Canyon and then to Flagstaff!

... restaurants (non sono sicuro del nome) cmq dovrebbe essere una catena tipo Denny's. Stasera si mangia visto che il pranzo non è stato molto sostanzioso! opto per una new york steak con baked potato e onion rings e prendo anche il buffet con salads, taco e frutta. mi faccio una bella insalata con la mia solita salsa ranch poi arriva la bisteccona! .. come in ogni posto la carne era ottima! tenerissima e saporita. faccio qualche altra puntata al salad bar e salto il dolce ...

... We dumped our gear and found the underground into D.C. we walked the Mall and went to the Natural History Museum (it's free!) and spent ages in there. Zoe, if you're still into crystals, you need to go here if you ever get the chance (see pics) they have a fab crystal & gems room. The mammal room freaked me out a bit, loads of stuffed animals!! There was a really cool photo competition winners display. We took photo's of the ...

So it started months ago, when we first considered driving home from school together... but the complications of that seemed insurmountable so we settled on a west coast road trip and had finalized our plans to go to Washington when things changed and we had to reconsider. There were deliberations and factions within the group until the day before the trip when finally.... southern utah it was and would always be. We set off Friday ...
