Travel Signs

Signs are amazing things. Some signs are natural, others are man made. By watching the signs you can tell whether the trip will be good, or not so good. Here are a few signs of our recent trip.

Below is the first sign.

I really wasn’t looking forward to going. Things like, “I’ve got a lot to do”, “It’s a bad time of year”, and “What the #$%%^ is in Utah? I was there once, I didn’t leave anything”, were going through my head. But, Char kept insisting we take a trip. Char is standing next to a small tree. Notice the leaves. They are heart shaped. Heart shaped leaves and Char – need I say more.

You might be wondering if Utah is hot this time of year. The answer is YES! The second and third signs down are funny only because it was over a hundred degrees.


Sure glad we didn’t slip and fall. Otherwise, we might have needed one of these. . .

. . . a handmade casket. Now that’s something you don’t see in every tourist town across the country. While I was looking for the perfect souvenir, this wasn’t it.

But, as hot as it was you could have died if you did not eat and, more importantly, drink enough water.

Here is a picture of Char having a little picnic lunch. Evidently, she didn’t see the sign. (Okay, I made her sit there so I could take the picture.) This picture was taken in Zion National Park. One of our many wonderful National Parks.

Most of National Parks now have free shuttles to transport visitors, ease the traffic, and preserve our national treasures. By taking the shuttles you can get a great overview of the park, get off where you want, and not have to deal with traffic. The shuttle drivers also can answer many of your questions and make some great recommendations. The shuttles run every six to fifteen minutes, which explains why they were not crowded. Here is Char on one of the shuttles. . .
. . . by clicking on the photo, you can read the blue sign next to her. I’m pretty sure she would have moved.

So, as the signs indicate – it was good trip.
