All Souls Night at Mountain View Cemetery
What to do on Hallowe'en when you're an adult? You could do worse than to wander through Mountain View Cemetery, where there are little tents with musicians, torch-like burning logs, and lots and lots of candles and lanterns.
A gentle, misty rain was falling and there was a wandering choir providing an gentle, contemplative ambiance.

Dig-Dig #6: Americana
When staying at Gem Mountain, the closest town for showers and groceries is Philipsburg, Montana.
View Dig! Dig! August 2010 in a larger map
A beautifully kept town, maintaining a robust balance between historical preservation and modern standards. It is refreshing to be able to easily imagine life a hundred years ago while lacking for nothing.
The Club Bar is the perfect spot for a drink on a hot afternoon. Very friendly staff and patrons, and we lucked upon "happy hour".
The locally-made Dump Truck Bock was light but full of flavour. Highly recommended.
Delicious thick beef stew at the Gem Mountain campground that night, accompanied by an adequate Zinfandel from Ravenswood.
The view from the dinner table.
On the way to Wyoming.

If you are driving down Interstate 15 in Utah with a trunk full of fish fossils and think you feel your front left wheel wobbling and start to fear that your '94 Escort Wagon with 205,000 km on it is telling you the trip is taking a bad turn, you could do a lot worse than to take exit 279 into Lehi and turn right. Big O Tires is there and ready to take a look while you wait.
It is hard to overstate how friendly, polite, professional and speedy the Big O crew were. Taylor, Blair and the whole team made the process painless and eased our worries, finding no mechanical faults in their thorough inspection. Someone around Lehi is bringing their kids up right. And someone knows how to generate a positive impression of a big-chain business, too. Big O charged a big 0$ for this greatly-appreciated service. Highly recommended.
Up next: an oasis in the desert, and a desert in the oasis.

The View From Here
Anyone considering a move to Vancouver because of the temperate climate should consider the following view from our front window.
And the back.
That's supposedly our car, somewhere under there.
The good news is that rain has finally arrived and we may be at the beginning of the end of this nonsense.
