Yes, there is a big white K on that big red rockIt’s an hour later in Kanab and my truck has a 9am (8am AZ time) appointment with the mechanic. It’s an 80 mile drive, just less than two hours for me.

Better obey the speed limit. That’s “Latex Larry” in the parked police car. Last seen running out of air..jpg "Jct SR89 & 89A Kanab UT")
Kanab has a population and elevation of around 5,000. It’s an adequate town for most of my purchases and has a thrift store or two..jpg "Denny's WibWam Kanab UT")
Kanab is known as “Little Hollywood” due to its history as a film making location for western movies and TV series like Daniel Boone, Gunsmoke, Planet of the Apes, and the Lone Ranger.
Greetings from MN from an Idahoan–which is to say I really enjoyed this post! great photos and I salute your choice of employment.
I have been there once..Love Utah and all the amazing rock formations!
That sounds like a town I would like to visit Gaelyn. What a lovely old wagon. That is still quite a drive to the nearest town for you and sounds like when I was in the bush and always had a long distance to travel to "civilization".
What a great little town!
This is a really neat little town. I can see why they used it to film here.
Your journeys are always so enjoyable, lead on and we shall follow…
I love Kanab (and that whole area, actually). My favorite spot there is Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. 🙂
Have you been to/explored/hiked/worked at Grand Staircase-Escalante NP and, if so, what did you think? We've driven by a couple of times but have not yet been able to stop.
Gorgeous photos. I would LOVE to visit this little town. The scenery and backdrop is gorgeous… I'll have to add it to my list of places I must see 🙂
Looks like an interesting place.
Gaelyn: Neat photos from the cool town. Two hours to work on your truck is too far.
wow..what a life you lead…the rand Canyon below..wonderful place to be!
thanks for your visit to my post also.
What a great place! I love that red wagon.
I am so glad you comment about the cocoanut sound thank you, you were the only one.
In front of that wagon they need one…. MB
very interesting blog..i should go to utah during my vacation in the US last year…next time again! have a safe trip always!
Ah…sunshine really makes everything look so much prettier…
I didn't know some of those old TV series were filmed there, but now that I think about it, I guess the scenery is similar to what I remember on Tv.
Kanab is where we were yesterday, and it also the "world headquarters," though not the main headquarters of Stampin' Up! which is hosting the convention I'm attending in Salt Lake. The rubber stamps are still made in Kanab, and that is where the company started manufacturing, about 20 years ago.
I didn't know about Larry!
