Jan does the heavy lifting while I try to take a few decent photos. If she isn't too tired from doing all the yard work sometimes she will carry my photo equipment for me. Being married to a "Farm Girl" has its advantages. We got our 2-month water bill last week. It was over $360 for the prior 2 months. Being "green" is expensive. We live in southern California which is a giant desert. If you want green, you have top pay for it. The day may come when artificial grass and green concrete will sound and look less tacky. The following 12 photos are the ones taken July 31, 2007

This is the Real Deal. This is not a Hollywood set. One silver mine produced the equivalent of two billion dollars worth of silver adjusted to today's dollar. This is a real town with real people still working and living there. Thank you for visiting.

Love lets you dig deeper holes, with larger rocks and bigger roots to say nothing about rock-hard dirt (Sorry, it had to be said).

(Approximate 185 mile trip will take you through spectacular rock formations, deep valleys, high mountains and lush farms. You will encounter wonder after wonder, surprise after surprise. Try to take the trip). Escalante pop. 800.
