Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.

That’s similar to what my wife and I did for our honeymoon in May 2011. Only difference is that we didn’t stay in Vegas. We got in our rental car and bolted outta there to Knab.
