Got the van out for the first trip of the year! Had planned for St George to do some Mtn biking, but we didn't get away on Friday ,so on Saturday after the paper, we went to the San Rafael Swell. This is on the way to Moab, just outside of Price, Ut. It is an anticline uplift that was created 40-60 million years ago and has since had erosion carve it into beauty. 
At right the top of the Wedge overlook, which looks into the "little grand canyon". Is everybit as amazing as the "Big Grand Canyon", however you can actually drive your car down to the bottom and hike in it. Like a 5000' down escalator!!!
We got snowed on in the late afternoon and overnight, only an inch or so, but it prevented us from having a campfire. We were content to sit in the van and read. Came home over Rt 31 thru Huntington Canyon and down into Fairview. Wow, what a drive!! A good weekend, all in all. 6" more snow tonight, then 60's all week. Yeah!!
