THE KANAB ADVENTURE – Day 7

Kanab to Cedar City, UT, 102d miles.  Today we left Kanab and the Parry Lodge and did one last trip north on 89.  TDSC05155

Our first destination this morning was Coral Pink Sands State Park.  Climbed a sand dune to look down on the parking lot.TDSC05159 

And here are the sand people up on the dune, this was irresistible to get your shoes off and sink into that nice soft cool sand. Everyone loved the color and we all looked for and found a tiger beetle.    Look that one up.TDSC05160

Janet and Lizanne tried out cardboard sleds but they were not slick enough.  Buckaroo is supervising.TDSC05163

Moved on down the road to an observation deck and this group here started to get a little silly.TDSC05177

First they decided to send a greeting to the club,,,,  

And then it became improvisational theater.  I liked this one the best,,,,,

Lunch in Duck Creek Village at Aunt Sues Chalet.TDSC05182 

Now, I am gaining a reputation as a pie connoisseur, because I can not pass up a piece of homemade pie.   Oh, man this mountain berry pie was to die for.TDSC05181

Our next destination was Cedar Breaks and Brian Head, a very tall (11,300 ft) peak in southern Utah and it has a dirt road to the top.  Some of us took it, of course, even dipped the wheels in a trace of snow.

The view was 360 degrees from the top of the world, and you could see 100 miles.  Notice the sound of the whistling wind.  That is bringing cool air in for tomorrow.

We were a little dirty when we got back to the main road.TDSC05192

We are in Cedar City tonight, and the first thing we did was go to a car wash and get shipshape again.  Only casualty today was one tire on Wildman’s trailer.  Model A’s did fine.  Long day tomorrow.
