The trip today from Green River, UT to Circleville, UT was much more spectacular than the drive yesterday from Golden, CO to Green River. The mountains were much more colorful and layered with different color of stone. There are areas that appear to be a huge rock that is very smooth and covered acres, but when you get to see it up close, it is just fine gravel that washes down the mountain with the rain, etc.
I really hate to say it, but the mountains are falling down into the valleys and one of these days the terrain will all be flat. Now won't that give the environmentalists something to worry about. However that will take a few million years to happen, so I am not really worried about it. I will just travel through this beautiful country and enjoy what God has
put here for us to enjoy.
There are some areas where the stone is quite dark, in fact, it probably is a low grade of coal as it is that black. Not of sufficient quality to do anything with.
There are beautiful valleys that are being irrigated and farmed, mainly hay and we actually saw a few fields of corn. We did not see too many cattle or horses however, they may have been moved to a lower elevation where there is more to eat this time of year.
When we turned south on US 89, we followed the Seiver River
that was really flowing fast. It was flowing north, down the mountains and the small towns along the river were big in white water rafting and ATV rental. There is even a two lane bike path along the river that goes for miles. A great place to walk, jog or bike. No motorized vehicles allowed.
We are in a beautiful RV park in Circleville that is for sale. It would be a great place to live and work, if you were interested in that kind of thing.
We will be here for a few days, tomorrow we will probably go to Zion National Park, some hundred miles south of here and then on Friday go to Brice Canyon as it is not as far away.
Time will tell what we do and see, but you will be kept informed of our doings.
This is the first place we have not had Verizon Air Card service. I am working on a very slow wi-fi system here at the park.
