    The Fox Visits The Canyonlands

    Sionnach was driving from Phoenix up to Salt Lake City today an he was kind enough to stop in and say hello.



    My second kilted visitor to Page. Amazing!!

    He stopped by the agency for a few minutes. We had a coworker take some pics.

    What a joy to have another kiltie in town, even for a brief stop over.

    The most common question from coworkers was, "Is/was that your brother?" Guess they thought the kilt thing was genetic...

    That's silly Ron. Anybody could tell that with you in tartan and Sionnach in an Untilikilt, he would be a cousin at best.

    You both look chuffed to bits. Nice when friends stop by. Great picture of the pair of you. By the way, I didn't realise you were so close to the Utah border.

    I think that's the first time I've seen a sporran with a utilikilt. Not bad.

    You're right John, Page, Arizona is about as far north as you can go in Arizona before you hit Utah.

    From time to time local probationers forget that most of Lake Powell is in Utah and when they get caught uplake in Utah there are serious consequences.

    Its a little less than halfway to Salt Lake City for Todd.
