Utah's Dixie

I've had to sift through all of my pictures over the last few weeks for work, and I was reminded of some forgotten rides and scenery that I figure should see the light of day. Over the next little while I'll try and post some of my favorites. I'll start off with pictures from the St. George area. We lived in St. George for only 6 or 7 months before moving to Cedar, but it was enough time to get good and "lost" in the desert more than a few times.
