Leaving UT

After our first week of work, we took a trip along Scenic Byway 12 in southern UT and ended up at Bryce Canyon for some great views and then had dinner and a fantastic cowboy show at Ebenezer’s Barn and Grill just outside Bryce. The pastor of the church we attended on Sunday and his brother along with the pastor’s wife and three other fellows make up the Bar G Wranglers. They put on a great show that we liked so much we went back again last week. The work in Hatch is so taxing we have been to the chiro each week. The third time at the chiro' s Larry was telling him how he has been feeling: dizzy, short of breathe, nauseated, unable to sleep and his blood pressure which is usually low was very high. The chiro suggested he may have altitude sickness. After checking all the symptoms on the net, we came to the conclusion the altitude (7,000 ft) was indeed, affecting Larry so we gave a two week notice and yesterday was our last day of work. We will leave tomorrow morning (Mon July 2) for La Pine, OR (4200 ft). We did take another side trip to see Capitol Reef National Park before we left the area. The reds there seem to be much redder than Bryce and the cliffs are slick as opposed to spires. We ate lunch in a nice picnic area and were joined by a deer that was totally unafraid of people. We have met some very interesting folks, many from foreign countries and our month here has been quite a learning experience. We have made a few friends and exchanged contact information with them so we can keep in touch. We have to remember that God is in control and “all things work together for good”. We are looking forward to returning to OR.
