Saint George--March 2016
The first weekend in March, we drove down to Saint George for our annual mecca. This year we stayed at the Red Lion Hotel (the kids will tell you--it's all about the pool) for two nights and then with Angie's in-laws (the Meltons) for the next two nights. Most of us were sick with head colds upon arrival (perfectly timed for the trip--ugh!!) but the sunshine and warm weather promised a speedy cure. The first day's adventure was a premeditated circumnavigation around Gunlock Reservoir. We'd seen amazing pictures of waterfalls and kids bum-sliding down sandstone watercourses and we wanted to scout the place out, discover its secrets. So on foot, we marched around the reservoir. At first glance it just looked like some low-level reservoir in a barren landscape. Nothing amazing. Pretty plain. After some walking, though, we started seeing it. Feeling it. Lindy was a trooper. She loves adventures and being outside and is a congenial companion on our family outings....
