    Thats all for 2015, our first year (actually 7 months) in Yosemite. I won't inundate y'all with everything yet. ( I need to keep you coming back!!)

    I am in Big Pine, but I frequently travel from Independence to Bridgeport (and many points in between). I love this area!

    How do you like southern Utah? I love Zion also, but haven't spent too much time in the area outside the park. I understand St George is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the nation.

    We are loving Zion (literally just moved out of park housing in the main canyon this week to just outside the park). Its just a busy as Yose was...

    We visited St. Geo back in 2013 and you can definitely see/feel the growth and changes that have come in those few years! We do all our major shopping for the new home there (furniture, Lowes, HD, Target... for major purchases) otherwise, we try to shop local at the small stores close to us.

    Yeah, Zion can be crazy busy! I suppose all of the coolest spots will become over-used. Sure is a sweet piece of real estate.

    Enjoy your stay in southern Utah, lots to do and see down there!
