Green River

Feeling a bit bored and in a need of a
change of scenery (one can only look at
boxes of household items for so long) we
hit the road today for a very small road
trip. Our destination: Green River Utah.
Green River Utah??? you say.
Why...because we had never been there.
If you've ever been to Green River, that
is a very legitimate question. Once we
got there, we thought pretty much the
same thing. I expected a more verdant,
small town, less touristy version of
Moab. Hmmm...small town, not at all
verdant, a good selection of chain motels
and that's about it. I predicted before
we arrived that there would be a Wal-Mart.
I was wrong. The drive there was
uneventful and pretty, albeit very very
bleak and empty. A couple of cows, some
ravens and a few unidentified road kill
remains. I half expected buzzards to be
circling above us, waiting for their prey.
The good thing was, this was all close to
home....the bad thing was...this was all
close to home.
