I'm so jealous. Last year we took a road trip through Arizona/Nevada/part of Utah after visiting family in LA. I am dying to go back. I loved Williams. And I learned I absolutely adore Utah. Gah. Have fun! Dark by 5pm and perpetually cloudy, rainy here.

Glad you had a good time. Was in Holbrook last summer and got some wood. Not $400.00 wood! How big is that $400.00 piece? Just curious. Thanks.
