I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! John 15:11 Yesterday Tom and I attended Linworth United Methodist Church with John and Jackie. It was good to worship in a familiar place with our family. There were baptisms and new members joining the …

Unaweep Canyon
The Grand Canyon of Colorado is the Unaweep Canyon, a unique geological feature in western Colorado. Tom and I took a day to explore the canyon while we were in Colorado. The unique thing about the canyon is that two creeks flow in opposite directions out of the canyon, separated by the Unaweep Divide. To …
In the Kingdom of Ice
I haven’t posted a book review for a while because Tom and I have been busy exploring. But I’ve still been reading and “In the Kingdom of Ice” is a book that deserves a review. I saw this book on the “New Releases” table at Barnes and Noble and was intrigued by the second line …
Goblin Valley State Park
Tom and I love to go to Goblin Valley State Park and when we were in Utah, we took a day to return there. It was our third visit – seems like we go every time we are in Utah! Goblin Valley is different than any other place we have visited. Goblin Valley was in …
Capitol Reef National Park
Utah has so many amazing national parks and natural sights that we see something new every time we travel to the state. One of the national parks that we had not visited before was Capitol Reef National Park. Capitol Reef is at the southern end of the San Rafael Swell but is it’s own unique …
Montrose United Methodist Church
Today, for the first time since December, Tom and I were able to worship in a church: Montrose United Methodist Church. We didn’t just go to church, like we did at Oasis Church in Las Vegas or the worship service every Sunday in Death Valley. We went to a United Methodist service held in a …
Canyonlands National Park
During one of our days in Utah we drove down to Canyonlands National Park. Canyonlands has three distinct areas, with three different entrances into the national park (Island in the Sky, The Needles, and The Maze). The Colorado and Green Rivers cause this division. Each entrance is at least two hours away from the other …
Green River KOA
Tom and I spent a week exploring southeastern Utah, making the Green River KOA our home base. After Death Valley, we are used to driving at least an hour to get anywhere, so it seemed easiest to leave the RV in one central location and make day trips to the state parks, national parks, and …
Little Grand Canyon of Utah
Utah has so many amazing canyons that I would be hard pressed to find one to call “The Grand Canyon of Utah.” Fortunately, I didn’t have to narrow it down because there is actually a place on the map called “The Little Grand Canyon of Utah.” The Little Grand Canyon of Utah is in the …
San Rafael Swell
Tom and I have taken a week to explore southeastern Utah, specifically the area around the San Rafael Swell. Southern Utah is filled with national parks (Zion, Bryce, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef), national monuments, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands and state parks (Goblin Valley and Dead Horse). The geography is extremely varied and …
