Virgin River Hike
My friends Chris, Toni, and I took a short hike today near the Virgin River. Here is a slide show.
I'm not in the pictures because I took them...
*edit* A note on the greening of southern UT
The lack of green really makes it difficult for me to stay here - I grew up in Michigan, have lived here for 2 years, and cannot get over 'green withdrawal.' The only reason this place is accessible to the mass growth it has experienced is the terraforming - turn off the water, and the place would shrivel up and revert to desert in a month.
Much of the green I shot on the walk today had a lot to do with seepage from septic leech fields in the houses that have been (and are very quickly being) built along the eastern edge of the river valley.
