Greg,
If you're headed to the Arches or Canyonlands it might provide some peace of mind to know that there is superb medical care just across the border in Grand Junction, CO - the biggest medical center between Denver and Salt Lake City.
Actually I'm a tad envious, as S. Utah is one of my favorite places.Enjoy!

Chris,
I'd love to hear anything you can tell me about the area. All I really know is that we will be camping in an area near St. George. I hope they have a place to fish, it's been a LONG time since I've done that! Everyone has told me that the scenery is some of the most beautiful in the country. I'm hoping that it will be a place where I can find some peace of mind and purge all the stress of the daily grind away. I think I'll be OK. I'm going to make sure that all my prescriptions have been filled, I'll have my docs number with me and I'm sure I can find a computer somewhere if I need to talk to any of my friends here. Please let me know what you can about the area when you get a few minutes.Have a great day,

Greg and Chris, from what I've heard about St. George, I'd be careful about eating fish there (50's nuke contamination). Or am I just being overly careful? I don't know.--Cindy W

Greg,
Sorry, the St. George area s a bit far away, but Zion and Bryce Natl. Parks are beautiful. Capital Reef is farther east, but is also worth a visit if you get the chance. Grand Junction is a long drive from any of those. You will have fun! There is a lot of spectacular scenery there. I haven't a clue about the fishing. A lot of people from here regularly head for Lake Powell, but I have to confess that I've never been there. R & R is good for the soul and probably the brain, too.Blessings,
Chris A.

Greg,
I lived in Utah for over 20 years and never heard anything about nuked fish in St. George. My daughter's in college in Cedar City, about an hour north of St. George. Zions National Park is very close; absolutely gorgeous; very awe-inspiring. You should miss the crowds since school's not over there yet.Don't know if anything's playing at the Tuachan ampitheatre, but it's definitely worth checking out.
Bryce Canyon is my personal favorite but is a little further away from St. George. Bryce is a great place for peace and solitude--no matter how many people are around you can always find a place to meditate.
I'm jealous.
Kim

Moab in October? How fortunate can you get! Whatever you do, don't miss the Arches Natl. Park just north of town. My last trip there was a a year ago camping with a class of seventh graders. We had a great time. October is a beautiful time of year to visit, as the sky is vividly blue and is such a contrast with the Entrada sandstone arches. The temperature is usually close to perfect at that time of year. Mountain biking (Fat tire festival at very end of Oct.), river rafting (on the Colorado) four wheeling and hiking are what the area is known for. Canyonlands is vast, with all sorts of scenery and adventures awaiting you. With limited time, I definitely vote for the Arches. One of my favorite drives is on the road that heads east along the river into Colorado. It is fun to drive with a five speed that handles well. Add a touch of hypomania - well, you get the picture. It's a pretty drive even when I'm depressed.
Just make sure you reserve some time for other than business!Bon Voyage!

Chris,
Thanks for the info. I'm sure it will be put to good use.
I work for the courts in Idaho and we get together with our administrative counterparts in Utah annually. The educational programs are always excellent, AND there's usually time for extra-curricular activities.
Given your input, I think I'll piggy back some vacation time on to the sojourn to Moab. Wish I had a 5-speed, but I've found that the Grand Prix v-6, even though it's an automatic, is exhilirating on some of the more infamous mountain highways here in Idaho - Weeee!!!!!

I have the awesome opportunity to go to Lake Powell each summer. It's the most wonderful relaxing place on earth. I was, however, very fearful at first to be in the middle of nowhere without access to medical/psych help. I imagined the never ending panic attack on the entire drive there my first year. I did end up finding out firsthand about the medical care availablity though, when one in our group got hurt. There is a hospital in Page Arizona at the southwest entrance to the lake. It's very small, and basic. Don't look for much, but at least it's there if you need an Rx. We went onward to Tucson (and froze our butts off in our bathing suits). They have an awesome hospital that is about 1.5 hrs past Page AZ. Bad news is that you have to take a really bad highway to get there. Make sure someone else drives, or you really will drive yourself crazy(no pun intended). Page AZ also has pharmacies and a Wal-Mart. Remember you may not be able to get out of state RX's filled as quickly as you need it! The entrance at the northeast end of the lake in Utah has absolutely nothing! That was much scarier, but I didn't try it until year three. I definetly recommend the Arizona end of the lake with the Rainbow Bridge and tons of great stuff for the new psycho visitor (aren't we all) Have fun! Jennifer
