It was not intended to be such a slow day but a migraine made it so.
Not that we had too much planned for the day. It was one that we expected to spend exploring the area. We began at Duke’s a small clothing store in town to get Jill a sunshirt that would be comfortable and not as hot. Success. We walked the town, looked at the many movie information signs and ate a light lunch at the Brown Bo:, soup, bread and a cookie. We also walked through the historic Parry Lodge, where the casts of many movies stayed during the shooting in the area.
Then I needed to get into a dark place and ingest some more aspirin. Later that evening, feeling a bit better, Jill drove us into the Johnson Canyon about 10 miles east of Kanab. This is where many movies were filmed and the show Gunsmoke shot. The last of the long fallen-into-rubble set was removed a couple of months ago. Still neat to see where Marshal Dillon held sway.
We again ate dinner at the Rocking V. Amazing burger! Then a scoop of ice cream - Caramel with brownie bites. Bed early for we were going to Zion an hours drive in the early morning. Unfortunately- I slept little, an issue with my migraine meds.
