Yesterday our friends Kathy and Shane took Barbara and me on a tour of the countryside west of Cedar City, Utah. Shane has spent most of his life in southern Utah so he knows the area and its history well.
As most of us know, the western portion of the US received abundant precipitation this winter and spring so the wildflowers are plentiful and absolutely beautiful. Besides enjoying the wildflowers we learned a little about the local history while visiting a portion of the famous Spanish Trail. We also visited a couple of nearby reservoirs. The Memorial weekend campers were out in force there. While there I was able to give Kathy and Shane a short geology lesson on the rocks surrounding the lakes. I always enjoy sharing my knowledge of geology with others. It makes me feel good that I can still use what I have learned even though I am retired.
Shane also took us to a plot of land that his family use to own that is home to three cabins his grandfather built during the mid 1900’s. As you might guess they are no longer in pristine condition but they are still standing. Two of these cabins were originally built in Cedar City and later moved to this location, one made of aspen and the other pine.
I really love countryside like we saw yesterday, just being out there where everything is peaceful and quiet. About the only sounds to be heard are the wind and an occasional bird. I hope that when my time comes that I can go in a place as peaceful as this. God’s Country!
