Sun, Sep 23rd - Richfield to Glendale, UT

It’s Fall today and granddaughters' Cassie and Vicki's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, girls! We got up to a bright sunny day with blue skies and big fluffy white clouds. It was in the 50's though. We left Wal-Mart and headed down I70 for a couple more miles and then took the exit to Hwy 89 south to Glendale. This route first took us through a canyon with a lot of "S" curves and then through a lot of green valleys with lots of cattle and small towns, such as Panguich, Hatch and Long Valley. We noticed in Panguitch that there was a banner across the road announcing that there would be a "POW WOW" next weekend in that town. Hwy 89 was a rough bumpy road most of the way and we had a lot of wind. We arrived at Bauers Canyon Ranch about noon time and were surprised to find that we have Wi-Fi at this campground and can get Satellite TV but NO cell service!

Here's the GREEN Wal-Mart sign.

The store below this mountain was called "Big Rock Candy Mountain". It did look like rock candy.

Here's that yellow rabbitbrush again and ALOT of sage.

Here's a new house that is being powered by a windmill. I bet they have wind most of the time down in this valley.

Here's some fall colors for the first day of FALL.

Katherine: Thanks for the tip about "Ayr" for my dry bleeding nose. It's working. I picked some up at Wal-Mart along with some chap stick!

History of Glendale, UT: In 1862 ranchers came to Long Valley, the land east of Zion National Park, to graze cattle along the East Fork of the Virgin River. Robert and Isabella Berry named the area now known as Glendale, Berryville. In 1866 when the Berry’s were killed by Indians, the settlers left. It was in 1871 that the Mormons, from the Muddy River settlement in Nevada, came to settle naming the town Glendale. By the 1800’s the Mormon communities in the area had grown in the nearby towns of Orderville and Mt Carmel Junction., Glendale became part of the United Order. The United Order Movement was a program of economic and moral reform begun in 1874 under Brigham Young. On March 29th, 1935 Glendale became an incorporated town. Orderville was the most longest existing united order. Glendale is 95% Mormon.
