Red Rock Spyder Rally 2017

[pegasus1300]

Here are some pictures going down US 89 towards the Red Rock Rally.


Big Rock Candy Mountain by Marysvale on US 89. Yes this is the Big Rock Candy Mountain of song. The D & RGW used to have a rail line down here until 1983 when floods washed out the northern part of the line.Harry McClintock the author is said to have written the song after visiting the area in one of his hoboing excursions. Who knows?



Old county seat and courthouse in Junction Ut. Built in 1903 and in use until about 10 years ago now restored and used as a B&B.



Red Cliffs in the distance are over by Bryce. Remove the fence in the foreground and this view hasn't changed much in 200 years or more.



Ut 14 going from US 89 to Cedar City and I 15. This actually behind me as I am traveling west.

Coming down the canyon on Ut 14 into Cedar City.

This place should be made a National Monument. I had to go back the second day also. Chicken Pot Pie-Barbeque Brisket-Rasberry Rhubarb Pie-Coconut Creme Pie-Must I go on? And as a Bonus, Gunlock and

Snow Canyon.

Parowan Gap

Parowan Gap is a Native American petroglyph site that is very significant. A little of the story and purpose of the petroglyphs is decoded by local Paiute leaders.

This was a great rally and we really enjoyed ourselves and the sights of South Western Ut. I have traveled here many times over the years yet still enjoy this area. I met more people this year then last year. I got to know Gene (Chupaca), Joe and Anne again.Jeff Dastrup was great to visit while working and he never missed a beat. I met many others One new friend from Hammond La who reminded me of the old Ponchartrain Beach ad jingle. I hadn't thought of that in 50 years and now its stuck in my head. I hope you all made it home safe and look forward to seeing you again soon.

You saw it 200 years ago?? :roflblack::roflblack:

If I would have had any idea Red Rocks won't be Red Rocks in 2018 I would have tried harder to get there. But two days there and two days back and a memorial service for my brother-in-law immediately before and the same guided rides as last year it just didn't get very high on the priority list.
