Family, friends and fun in and around Saint George, Utah

I was going to hike in the redwoods, following my backpack along the Lost coast, but I caught an intestinal bug/flu (chills, fever, stomach churning, etc. - you probably don't want to know any more than that) somewhere along the way (I'm blaming truck stop bathrooms or gas pump handles - that's my theory and I'm sticking to it), and ended up convalescing for a few days before heading back east to Salt Lake City where I pick up Donna at the SLC airport, and then Anna, Donna and I head south to Saint George and the Heinz family home there (as always - a big thank you to Ryan and Adrienne Heinz).  Nic and Matt drive down on Friday and join us.  As always much fun was had - including visiting Kayenta, a hike on BLM land near Kayenta, an evening hike and picnic in Snow Canyon State Park, a great meal at Benja Thai, and a great hike in the Kolob Canyon area of Zion National Park.  Over the last few years we have really grown more familiar with canyon country and have grown to really love it.
