CLICK HERE* TUSHER MOUNTAIN with St. George Jeepers

 We had a great trip from Beaver to the Tushar Mountains with the fall colors starting to show off!

I'm not sure we got a good count, but I think there were about 20 'Jeeps' 

( with other assorted 4 wheel drive vehicles)

"Over there!"

A beautiful spot for a lunch stop

( just don't get too close to the edge!😉)

I never realized we had some red patches amongst the gold.

Then the red bushes fade out and we find this interesting terrain.

It was a delightful day, and we return home via US89 and

"The Big Rock Candy Mountain" 

(The mountains named for the song are a little north of Marysvale, Utah)

The folk song was originally sung in the 1870's and since then many versions have cleaned it up and the most popular one was published in 1928.

In 1949  a sanitized version intended for children was re-recorded by

Burl Ives.

The popular refrain is :

"Oh, the buzzin' of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain."

And indeed, Marysville has a resort from 1928 to this day.

Since we are in Butch Cassidy Territory, we might as well catch a bite to eat

in Circleville, Utah.

The Cafe has pictures of all the famous outlaws.

A little further down the road was the Cassidy homestead.

Butch Cassidy was born in Beaver, Utah, but his family moved to Circleville.

Butch thought farming was too much work and he sought income from other sources.

A very enjoyable day, lots of gorgeous colors and good company.
