I'm amazed he could hike a strenuous trail like this while smoking a number of cigarettes.

I know I would fly halfway across the country (or drive halfway across the state...same thing) to get an eyeful of Sage. :-)<BR/><BR/>Sage - As usual, and as everyone has pointed out before me, great story but no one has mentioned the part that stood out for me (and which I pondered after reading this for the first time last night) which is what you said at the end about T. I hope you often say that kind of thing to him in person and invite him with you on more trips. I say that because I mean it and not because I hope T takes another topless picture of you. ;-) By the way, today is your last official day as Meat of the Week.

Most people who have studied the tragedy think Lee was only a scapegoat. I haven't read the recent study put out by LDS Church historians at BYU, they may have a different opinion. In the last few years there's been 4 books on the event.<BR/><BR/>For some reason, I forgot to post the picture of the Kolob arch!sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1159993866687623102006-10-04T16:31:00.000-04:002006-10-04T16:31:00.000-04:00I think Lee was excommunicated from the church aft...I think Lee was excommunicated from the church after the massecre and then later after his execution, was reinstated.

Haven't we all seen places like that? The last one I saw was from a helicopter in Kauai, a narrow valley so steep and so green, with a waterfall so high as to take my breath away.<BR/><BR/>I love reading your stories, Sage.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.com
