Farewell to Kaibab Plateau

The 12 weeks of our contract at the store have flown by and our time on the Kaibab Plateau is over.  We are so grateful for the experience of living for three months in such a lovely and interesting place.  We've seen the snow recede, the lakes in the meadows dry up, the buffalo migrate from lower elevations, the quaking aspens leaf out, just about every type of weather this place gets and scores of varieties of wildflowers.  We'll leave tomorrow morning with a great deal of ambivalence--excited about going home but we leave a big chunk of our hearts behind.
