Desert Rats

Diana and I are in Price, UT, this weekend and we were treated to a tour of some of the scenic sights around Price by Don and Mary Phillips, Price residents and lovers of desert exploration.
Among the places we visited were the Crandall Mine Memorial, memorializing the 6 miners and 3 rescuers that died there.
We enjoyed the vistas of the Wedge, were pleasantly surprised to witness a group using powered parachutes to view the land from a short distance above, and were intrigued by the mysteries of the Buckthorn Canyon pictographs and petroglyphs among others.
There is so much to see in this country we will be back. Thank you, Don and Mary.
