We took a road north of a nearby town called Loa where my brother and his family used to live. It&#8217;s very pretty country, lots of fields and horses and cattle. It&#8217;s very green due to the irrigation &#8211; where it&#8217;s not irrigated the land is very dry this time of year (Sept). Our drive took us way up into the nearby hills where we saw hillsides of aspen trees turning gold and red, and a couple of small lakes.<\/p>\n<p>And, the RV Park where we stayed had a great view of red cliffs that had eroded into weird shapes.
