The ride from Las Vegas to Utah looked very familiar but then the desert hasn't changed in the last million years so why expect anything new in the last 9 months? The Joshua trees continue to eke out an existence but seemed healthier this time taking advantage of the meager water from the last days of spring.
Some seemed as if they hadnt had a drop of water for decades; others looked as if they had found the mother lode of trapped moisture and were flourishing like Florida palms, some quite green, clinging to the last remnants of Spring as another 110-degree summer began its heated campaign
The 2 hrs from Las Vegas to St. Georgr sped by pretty quickly and soon we could see the Mormon temple of St.Georeg rising majestically from the valley floor long before we got into town, with it's spire pointing the way like some celestial sign to its heavenly destination.
Apart from the spectacular Mormon temple, (now being competed against in size by a big box Walmart closeby), St. George, the Fresno of Utah, is a pretty ugly town. A cautionary example of strip development and it doesn't even have a strip!
Leaving St.George, it was just a few more mile to our destination, Fitness Ridge, or as it is now known, Biggest Loser at Fitness Ridge, having entered into a partnership with the TV show of the same name.
Looking forward to being back - first class at 6:00 am tomorrow morning!
Sweet dreams everyone!
