Some Random Photos from  Utah:  10-11 July 2006

    None of this was virgin territory.  I got terrific photos under bright sun in Capitol Reef NP last summer, saw the highlands of

Highway 12 buried under snow in May, and had a nifty Three-Cheese Lasagna at the Rockin' V in 2003.  [24 photos]

A nondescript and not particulary scenic field, but this is what it looked like in July of '06, and....

... this is how the same field looked in mid-May of '05.

Tall aspens

The Rockin' V Cafe, in Kanab, UT. I first thought this was burger-n-beer, but it is casual fine dining.

The dining room of the Rockin' V. Very good food in a very nice atmosphere.
