Kanab Floats
We rented a stupid little p.t. cruiser on friday and puttered out to Kanab, Utah. The Glover Family Reunion. Ten hours driving in two days, man. For a bunch of old people. But these old people are me. They're cowboys. They love guns. But, they look at 
me and they see themselves. They see their late sister and their father and their own youth. It doesn't matter that I'm wearing my "stop bombing poor countries" shirt. They recognize the anger. Seems like the whole bunch sing songs to tell stories, mostly set in this weird, red ghost town. "He ain't no Coca Cola cowboy. He's the real thing." My mom's uncles were real cowboys.
Kanab is pretty. The wind sounds like thunder. My nephew bobs his head to cowboy poetry.
The night before we went looking for a bar. "There are no bars in Utah," say the locals.
My grandparents are buried here. My family tree is made of red rock.

Very nice post. I had to laugh though. While I was growing up (theres only 2 or 3 now) there were like 12 bars in my home town in Utah...a town of 7500 people.
dust, i think we might be related. my great grandmother's maiden name is garner and that side of the family is all from southern utah.
We still may be related, cuz.
