A welcome surprise seeing Graham and Debbie not far from Goshen, Utah. They were returning from Capitol Reef and passed me heading south. They loaded me up with food and a bottle of Graham’s home brew, neither of which I would have found in Goshen on a Sunday. Had a wonderful camp in Goshen Canyon that night. This little out-of-the-way loop parallels I-15 a little north of Nephi and can be a respite from the inevitable freeway burnout one gets coming into SLC from the south. It gets a bit of traffic now and up until a few years ago it was dirt for a couple of miles. From a camp overlooking the road I could watch the few cars and noticed nobody really drove very fast. 30 mph max. It’s like a time warp in there that people seem to want to savor. Not surprisingly, G & D had just come that way.
Steve, I still get a chuckle when I think of our serendipitous meeting in the middle of Nowhere, Utah.
We speed past in the car.
I say to Graham, “Wave to Steve.”
Graham says, “It is Steve!”
Me, “No effing way!”
