Leaving for a long overdue #vacation early tomorrow so any posting will likely be images over 9 days in southern #Utah.
We’ve been married for nearly 15 years but never took a honeymoon, so this is sorta it now that we’re empty nesters. The schedule is relatively fluid, taking it day by day, with St. George as our “base camp”. The entire trip is inspired by this amazing video as we enjoy hiking & haven’t been to Utah yet.
The Frasher Foto Postcard Collection https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt6s2019xp/ hosts over 5,000 picture postcard views of California and the Southwest taken by Burton Frasher in the 1910s–1950s. Among the many shots of landscapes and people are street scenes, offering a time-travel tour of early 20th-century American signmaking.

My parents are on vacation at a bison ranch in #Utah & discovered there is 0 alcohol sold anywhere in the region. The ranch owner buys some out of state once in a while... 😳

I don't know why the state of #Utah is bound and determined to build a port on toxic, sensitive wetlands when there's plenty of toxic, hyper-low-density industrial land around Magna. Heck, the Church has an enormous empty plot right next to the UP Intermodal. Let that be your port.
Doh! I grew up in #Utah and somebody just pointed out to me (today) that "Deseret" means "honeybee" (from the Book of Mormon -- the religious book, not the Broadway play). #beekeeping#bees#honeybee 🤷
With 90s-and-earlier style independence. Could it be Salt Lake City? Inspired by this:
"Utah Free Range Parenting Law [...] says that letting your kids play outside, walk to school, wait briefly in the car (under some circumstances) or come home with a latchkey is not neglect unless something else seriously bad is going on."
