On this last day of October, 2008 (Halloween) we said goodbye to our costumed hosts at the hotel in Richfield (witches, goblins and such!) and headed off down the highway for all the little southern Utah towns scattered along US 89 between Richfield and Kanab. We have driven this road so very many times over the years since our marriage and heading up to Provo to enter BYU in the Fall of 1962. But, we love every mile, every turn, every crossroad, village and mountain and valley and plateau.

Here is a favorite spot. We don't stop but we enjoy seeing it each time and singing a few lines of The Big Rock Candy Mountain .. "Oh, the peppermint trees and the lemonade springs and the soda water fountain! ..." This would have to be a favorite door to knock on for any kid out trick or treating, its the Big Rock Candy Mountain! Just a short ways down the road after you leave Richfield.
