Today's adventure is a September road trip, due north of Las Vegas via Interstate 15, into beautiful Southern Utah. We point out some Nevada landmarks along the way, marvel at the green expanse of Mesquite, navigate the incredible twists and turns of the Virgin River Gorge, and make our way to Cedar City. We will explore this lovely mountain town, and then head up past 10,000 feet in elevation to visit the jaw-dropping Cedar Breaks National Monument. What a day!

Hello and Greetings from a boy raised in Cedar City!! My parents are living there and have been since 1970. I only go back on occasion. The stories of life and growing from us brothers and sisters (there are a total of six boys and five girls) would take just about as long to tell them as making them did! As a boy catching and selling night crawlers... For up to .35¢ per dozen! Riding bicycles then motorcycles. Learning to drive and mowing lawns for one kind old man for five years at $2.50 a trip. I kept a piece of paper in my wallet counting each time I saw him and I either mowed his lawn, shoveled snow, cleaned up the garden (but never the flowers, they were her's.!) In exchange for the helping hands that I gave him and her, he let me buy the old 1958 Chevy truck that had belonged to his son lost in the Vietnam war. His name was Darwin Nelson and he never let me leave his home without one or two dollars in my pocket. Such a kind and lovely pair they were. My dad began a trucking company in 1976 and it's still doing well today, in Cedar. So many typical yet individual stories just like Mayberry! We got there when I was seven and I'm 57 this year. Just the short drive you took through town took me roasting back in time, past my old elementary, my personal barber shop operated by another man then and a new man now, to the old stage that I enjoyed only a couple of times then and several new places I've seen but not visited. Sentimental tears because mom and dad are in their eighties and I don't want go back but I will because a couple siblings still living in Cedar will need the support of all of us children when they go. Thank you sincerely for giving me a ride home. Good Bless You and may you travel well. With Gratitude, Andrew L. Miller, Sgt (Ret,) USAF

@paulamckenzie 3 года назад

Oh Andrew, this is just beyond lovely - you have tears in MY eyes, after reading this beautiful account of your growing up years, and even more so the nostalgia. But that "giving me a ride home", that did me in totally. It was our most sincere pleasure to do that, believe me. Have a wonderful day. :)

@alxking1901 3 года назад

That is a great trip. Being a truck driver, I get to see a lot of the road but very little off the interstate. It’s nice to see things near Vegas that can be WAY more fun than any of the resorts in town. A few years back I took a road trip out to Page Arizona for my birthday. I used Las Vegas as a starting point. Plenty of stuff to see on 89 and 89A, just don’t do it during a government shutdown AND winter season!

I worker at Inter-mountain -wood of St. George around 2005-2007 And delivered wood products to Cedar city. The home builders and cabinet makers used the materials to build homes and business. I drove up I-15 to the small towns and learned the area. The college and schools were on my list to deliver materials. Not many African Americans were living there, Yet my experience was pleasant, due to the religious beliefs and people who were friendly. I lived in St. George from 2001 to 2010. The area is a place I'd lived in a heart beat. I wish more people would venture and experience the beauty of places and learn to appreciate the Land. We are only here on earth a short time. Learn to enjoy it. 10/5/2021

I asked the guy whom I think was the owner if he had any special sausage or bacon. He did. Custom made sausage just for his place. So I had it. And it was some of the best breakfast sausage I've ever had. I need to go back and see if that place is still there. Love that area of the state.
