I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that maybe we’ve seen the last of Indian Summer for 2010.
As with the rest of the state, southeast Utah and Sierra La Sal experienced the zipping through of the polar express T-Day eve. Ours came actually in the wee hours of...

Sorry, the La Sal Bear Buffet is now closed. Out of food! Well, actually that’s a good thing, says a local rancher.
Two dozen calves gave their lives for the bear buffet. Silly things. Cows don’t have much sense.
