I got this problem.. it’s called I Can’t Sit Still. I know it drives my family insane some days, but the weather was killer (65 and bluest skies in the west). Living in Kanab has it perks, but when the nearest Target is 3 hours round trip, a quick shopping …

But besides the yellow dude seen in the photo above, this entire area is riddled with petroglyphs, arrowheads, pictographs, and …
