Early Morning in Utah

I guess there are a few other things that light up the heart as easily as watching the sun rise over mesas, but this was an easy one to appreciate. The lounge car had just opened, and the attendant made a show of giving me a free refill of strong coffee for being his first customer. It doesn't get much better than this!

A little later we came to Green River, Utah, 25 miles from the ranch where,long ago, I worked for one memorable summer. I had hoped to glimpse familiar landmarks, but instead we were surrounded by a winter fog. My old memories, also foggy, will have to serve.
