Canyon Country

Phil Post - Avi and I were fortunate enough to spend a day in God's country, in our national park that the pioneers referred to as "little Zion". Our merry band was comprised of Heidi's father, Paul and my friend from Israel, Sasha. The trip was short, but sweet and somewhat spontaneous which always makes a road trip more memorable. We spent one night in Hurricane, then a few hours tromping around on a couple of the classic Zions Park trails joined not only by our international guest, but by foreigners from all over the globe. It's always funny to think that these young families from Japan, or Italy with their 2-3 kids in designer Benetton clothes have flown from the far reaches of God's green earth to be here in our backyard. I'm sure there's nice places to visit in Japan and Italy, but there's no way in Elko we could pull off a Lampoon-style international vacation at this point in our life to visit those places. I am glad that we have access to these sacred places. It was a great trip and many thanks be to Paul for coming along to give our trip some legitimate "coolness".
