Red the Traveling Dal Visits the American Southwest

[davidd]

Red's Utah Adventures continue:

"Just a quick reminder of where we are, in case you forgot since

our last ex.citing episode."

"Or... maybe we're here; I don't know. It all tends to look alike."

"When last we saw me, I was perched halfway up a cliff in imminent danger

of plummeting to my doom!"

"I suppose the upside of being wedged in a crevice where I'll likely starve

to death and ravens will nest in my bleached skull is that I'm now much less

likely to plummet to my doom from the cliff face."

"Piece o' cake! Nothin' to it! I was just angling for sympathy!

It's the drama queen in me!"

"Just give me two or three hours to catch my breath after that ridiculous ordeal

and then we can go get lunch... okay?"

"What? It's not lunch time yet? Okay... let's see if there's anything worth

seeing around here! I hope it won't be snakes!"

"Hey... izzat a castle?"

"Looks kinda like where those Sea Monkeys live in the comic book ads!

'Cept... I don't see a sea! Or... any monkeys!"

"Well... maybe it's not a castle, but it's kinda cool. Even without Sea Monkeys."

"Look! That rock and I are wearing almost the same style hat!"

"Arright... that was... strenuous! Now how do I get down?"

"OH EM EFF GEE! We're Shadow Twinning! Please stop before I gag,

and promise not to ever do anything like this again!"

Who woulda guessed that twelve years after snapping the first photo, back in 2009

while on vacation, I'd be living within five miles of this very spot? And recreating

the same picture while hosting a Travel Doll? The lesson to be learned:

be careful where you stop to take pictures!

"Fake ancient ruins, but at least it's a step or two above random rock-stacking."

"Ooooh! Finally something that actually looks interesting! Let's check it out..."

"... after lunch!"
