What I felt like today arriving at our "Utah house." Earlier, I had awoke in a strange bed, (Eureka Hotel, Mesquite.) went out in the dark, and put out some traffic cones along a running course - in the rain, led the runners on the course ~ in my truck in lieu of on my bike like years past and is much more enjoyable ~ then picked it all up afterwards.
Friday night I'd driven there - which just getting through I-15 northbound traffic is half the battle - and arrived just as everyone else was finishing up pizza dinner. I then familiarized myself with the Annual Easter Run course then marked it using spray chalk on the streets at turns, etc. I was suckered into helping with again. A lady I used to work on the old Las Vegas Marathon with lives there now, and she and her husband do this event as a way to stay busy. Not much goes on in Mesquite! I kinda like it though, small town, no traffic problems, no graffiti, and no rush to get anywhere.I finished up and headed off to St George, Utah. Not quite as small as Mesquite, but with its own charm and history, just the same. (see photo below I took coming down Main St about noon today.)

I would have cooked if you wanted tunaless tuna casserole! I think Outback served better stuff.
Are you going to do the bike ride with us in October?
What a good guy you are! When are you heading up here?
