| Roadtrip to Utah- October 2008 |
 |
| Chad read in a 1973 issue of "Desert" magazine that "Septober" was always the best season to visit Southern Utah, so we scheduled a roadtrip north in early October. The rainy weather could not dampen the natural beauty of the region. We spent two nights in Boulder, UT, touring the entire Escalante/ Grand Staircase area for a few days. All of it scented by a handful of big basin sage crushed in my pocket. |
