ZION UTAH!
BEAUTIFUL WILD COUNTRY
When Chuck and I arrived here 3 weeks ago, we were busy learning our jobs and meeting new people. The routine has become much easier and we workamp with a bunch of wonderful folks here!
Zion River RV Resort is a beautiful 5 star RV resort on the Virgin River, we have green grass and large level sites here.
There are also some very nice tent camping areas.
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY TOO!
This is one of the dirt roads just west of Virgin Utah, headed to the LaVerkin Overlook.
Looking west towards the town of LaVerkin. The colors and textures of the EarthMother around here are totally amazing! I haven't really begun to photograph the area yet! I promise you I will!
Above is highway 9 that eventually takes you to Virgin Utah, Springdale Utah and Zion National Park.
This was taken looking east.
DOGGIE ART!
After coming back from car rides.... I had lots of "doggie art" on my back windows to wash off!
Well hey! What the heck!??! I went right into town and bought a hummingbird feeder and now we have tons of hummers all doing flyby acrobatics and war combat to fight over who gets to the feeders first! Fun entertainment!
AMAZING LANDSCAPES AND SUNSETS
Whenever Chuck and I leave for a new adventure, the excitement builds in my tummy, the hound herd is bouncing around our heels, the MotherShip is packed and we are ready to meet the highway ahead!
Today, I read this poem from The Hobbit, it perfectly describes what life has become for us!
Hope you enjoy it!

The Greatest Adventure, The Ballad of The Hobbit
From the animated movie The Hobbit
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.
The greatest adventure is there if you're bold.
Let go of the moment that life makes you hold.
To measure the meaning can make you delay;
It's time you stop thinkin' and wasting the day.
The man who's a dreamer and never takes leave
Who thinks of a world that is just make-believe
Will never know passion, will never know pain.
Who sits by the window will one day see rain.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead!

Wow! I am glad the first 3 comments were positive for the Zion area! I do promise more photos soon! Chinle, we hope to make it up to Kolob next week, haven't been to St. George yet!
ReplyDeleteWow what a beautiful area and you guys are so blessed to be there..Good luck
ReplyDeleteWe do feel blessed to be here, amazing country! We look forward to being here!
DeleteI'm sure to make it up your way at some point this summer.
ReplyDeleteI think it's LaVerkin that has a little flea market on weekends.
You'll love the Kolb area, and St George.

We hope you do make it here this summer, maybe ny then we can show you to a few new places. Thanks for telling us about the LaVerkin flea market, too bad we have to work weekends.
DeleteWow, what a beautiful area - you are lucky to be there for the season...
ReplyDeleteThis RV park has kept us so busy that when our days off arrive, we have been too exhausted to explore much! We are off on Mon, tues and Wed, so hopefully we will get some exploring done this week! That's what nice about being here for a whole season... lots of time for exploration!
DeleteBe sure and visit the ghost town of Grafton, just a few miles from Rockville. Fascinating look into the lives of the pioneers that were sent to settle that part of Utah. Also, be sure and stop at the cemetery. It really puts into perspective all the hardships those folks faced as they carved out a settlement.
ReplyDeleteWe found the same thing in Bluff Utah! What those folks had to endure just to get to this beautiful land was unimaginable! We will be sure to visit Grafton! Thank you for the suggestion!
