Oscar & I had the distinct pleasure of joining our Casita friends as Don and Betsy lead us on a tour of southern Utah . . . a wonderful group of people and stunning scenery. While it's hard to capture the size and grandeur of the landscape, these pictures may provide a glimpse into what we enjoyed.
Marshaling the Eggs
Our version of OWS. We called it "Occupy Scenic Overlook!"
Exploring a slot canyon
Oscar was not too thrilled as we stood on the edge of the cliff. He kept saying "It sure is a loooong way down there, Pete."
Some of us enjoyed brunch at this unique coffee house. Yummm!
Full lunar eclipse "Ring of Fire" as seen without protective filter.

Oscar used protection too!
Happy eggs touring Utah

A bit windy for little Oscar at Natural Bridge of Bryce Canyon
He much preferred Red Rock Canyon
It's still cool up at 11,300' feet at Brian Head Peak! Oscar was wondering what all the white stuff was.

Love the pictures of all the Casitas. Bet you had a grand time.
Looks like you guys had a great time!!! Chuck
So much fun seeing all the eggs all lined up and traveling onward!
The ghost town of Grafton also hosted the movie Buch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! Remember when Paul Newman had Kathern Ross on the handlebars of his bike??? It was shot there also. Read my last blog about Grafton. Hope you got to see the cemetery there! You had a great tour!!! Got to see all the really cool places! SNOW??? It's 100+ here today in Zion!
What fun!! Awesome!! I think Oscar is one lucky, happy fellow!! :-)
I wonder where the wonder egg is...
