Zion is incredible and you captured it so, Linda! <br />I was starting to worry.. I recall signs saying people have fallen from some of the high places at Zion. Also, I have a low tolerance for rude, loud idiots, too. I'm glad you spoke up to them, but sorry they were amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14413812739575222069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5630767188230598013.post-46304491977464329652016-01-02T07:55:39.515-08:002016-01-02T07:55:39.515-08:00The scenery is gorgeous!
