Well we made it to Moab today and I know you know what my first stop was, you got it, Milt’s Stop & Eat. I’ve dreamed of their killer burgers ever since the last trip and I wondered was it as good as I remembered. I won’t keep you in suspense, I had the double, wow, what a hunk of meat and I gave it a new all time high score of 4.85. It was quite simply the best burger I’ve ever tasted in my life. If you love burgers and you haven’t been to Milt’s, buy a plane ticket now….

Not only is the burger the best,
but the people that run the place
are wonderful too. BC Laprade
has kept Milt’s true to it’s early
nineteen fifties roots and has
just made things better.

356 South 400 East, that’s the
best place in America, (at least
that I’ve found), to get a real
American creation, the Cheese-
burger. Of course having my
best friend, Sherelene along
was great too, she loved Milt’s
as well.

So BC, thanks for working hard
to keep something alive that
deserves to never change……

I’m only in town three days, guess
that means three trips to Milt’s!

Blessings,

the pilgrim

Yes I’m counting points……..

One of the great things about shooting,
is editing. After days of shooting, it’s a
real joy to sit down and review your
take. I have some favorites, no real
reason why, just those shots that seem to define a shooting trip. Please allow
me to share some I really like after the first edit.

Sometimes it’s the light, sometimes the the subject other times a special person in your life, or like the shot of the sign
above, just something that makes you laugh.

The joy of photography is like the joy of life, the knowledge that you’re blessed for every new day you are breathing and enjoying what God has placed around you.

Today’s Prayer, Thank You Father for this life, the people in it, the places You allow us to go and enjoy and the lives You allow us to touch for you, to Your glory and in Your Name.

Sorry about yesterday, but this had been one tough, and great tour with my wonderful friends from the Bio Communications Association. This group of folks are among the greatest people I have the honor and pleasure of working with. The added pleasure of having my bride, Sherelene and my boss and dear friend, Scott Diussa with us made things infinitely better. Wonderful locations in great light are made even better when you can enjoy seeing others enjoy it along side of you.

We covered a lot of ground in
just a few days; Lower Antelope
Slot Canyon, Bryce Canyon
N.P. and Zion National Park
as well as the Paria Wilderness
area, and Big Water near Lake
Powell. Sherelene, who stay very
busy as a Nurse Practicianer, got
back into shooting and did some
great shots, (special inset below
of some of her top shots).

The fellowship was even better
than the light and subject matter!
I’m blessed to be able to know
and work with such great people.

Thank you Lord,

the pilgrim
