A calm, gentle block easily straddled on the back road to Alstrom Point on Lake Powell

This sandy track eventually ends, more or less, at a particular clifftop of Glen Canyon above Lake Powell called Alstrom Point. Everything was going fine, I thought.  Dirt road, good view . . . more dirt road.  God, it went on and on for for over 20 miles, and I'm sure Brooke was thinking, "Are we ever going to get there?" I'm always self conscious about this stuff.  Was this too many miles in one day?  Will we get there before dark? If we don't, will she make me sleep outside on a rock? But when you find wildflowers growing right there in the middle of the road, it sure does put a good twist in that age old cliché of "Here, sugar, these are for you."

I know what you're thinking.  "Might want to knock off this romance-on-dirt-roads business because that's how you ended up a parent in the first place."
