Not much of a drive today. We made it to St. George without incident and are now laying out by the pool in 103F. I am in HOG heaven. The weather is beautiful and the pool is excellent. My dad came into the lobby of the hotel carrying a 1/2 rack of Corona and two older women gave him a nasty look (we are in Utah) and he said "Lutheran" and they died laughing! I cannot believe he did that, wait yes I can. There should be more to report tomorrow as we have a lot of sights to see. Off to lay in the sun some more and work on my tan....no more sunburn...thank goodness!
