"when life was enough without inventing games."
Brilliant...thanks for sharing Jello!

"Far below, the Virgin River mumbles a quiet protest under her breath. Gentle winds carry her whispered worry for her creation to the ears of those who care".
Beautiful!
It's sad that this wonderful story got lost in the shuffle.
I missed it the first go-round. So glad it got bumped to my Attention.
Jello, me thinks your book will be brilliant.

Thanks for the photos and story! Amazing and magical. Then as now. Stories like this are why I read this site. I can't wait for the book.
“There’s just too many damn people in the Valley.” NO DOUBT
"In five years this place will be just as crowded." I HAVE A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
I did my first route there 17 years ago and have thought the same thing year after year. Magazine artilces and guidebooks have not changed a thing. The place is damn scary and far from any population density. No crowds then as now.

Jello: It is always a joy to read your stories. I was a little slow getting to this one, but that adds to my joy in bumping it back up the ST.
Please! Post some more stories.
Thank you, Fritz
