We drove out to Zion National Park from Atlanta. I always love driving out and seeing the landscape change little by little. We took the high route on the way out passing through Kansas City and on through Colorado. We've begun to memorize certain exits for food stops. As vegetarians, we have a few favorites. One of mine is BD's mongolian grill in Independence, MO just outside of Kansas City. (It's a kind of do it yourself stir fry.) It's a chain and I hope it will spread, but so far this is the only one that I've been to. Unfortunately we didn't get to stop there this time because it was only 10 in the morning, but I was tempted to make it an early lunch:)

We drove into Sprindgdale, UT(Zion Park) in the early evening and there was a full moon as we entered the Canyon. The full moon cast it's bluish light across the canyon. The Sandstone walls of the Canyon reflected the light and cast shadows creating other wordly effects.

The concert was outdoors at the Dixie Tanner Amphitheatre and was a beautiful backdrop. We were happy to see our friend Brian Hall. We met Brian last year at Apple Farm, NJ near Philly. It was a residency and Brian took us to all of the schools where we played for kids in schools from rural NJ to inner city Philadelphia schools . Anyway, it was nice to have a familiar sound tech for the show and after a few snafu's we got it all going. It was a great experience for us to play out doors with the cliffs in the background.

Here are some other pics from the park. I'll open a flickr account soon, but for now I'll post a few here.
