Return To Zion National Park, Southern Utah

Click headline to view photo. More will be added...

By Robert Ellis

We made a return trip to Southern Utah in Late September 2021. Our first trip in April was more of a drive through only, part of the park (due to Covid restrictions and the inability to obtain shuttle reservations) however, this trip we spent a couple days hiking in the park since the restrictions for riding the shuttle busses had been lifted. What a park it is!!!

This pic was taken along the trail that takes you to the famous "Angels Landing". The total trip is around 5 miles. Myself and wife Tammy made it to the 2 1/2 mile resting spot called scouts lookout. From that vantage point you either muster up the strength and courage to do the final leg of the terrifying Angels Landing (last 1/2 mile) or turn around and trek back down... so we waited around an hour for another member of our party to complete that portion of the trail, and headed back down. A couple more photos will follow from this and another hike while in Zion National Park.

Carson Jessie signs to play baseball at Lindsey Wilson College

Carson Jessie, a fifth year senior at Adair County High School, recently signed with Lindsey Wilson College to play baseball for the Blue Raiders this fall.

Carson is pictured with his parents Jeff and Stacy Jessie and brothers, Drake and Easton. Also witnessing the signing are ACHS head baseball coach Ryan McQueary and athletic director Brent Campbell.

"I am very proud of Carson on his recent signing to play baseball at Lindsey Wilson College," commented Coach Ryan McQueary. "I believe the Lindsey Wilson Baseball program and Coach Utley will be gaining a super young man who leads both on and off the field. Carson is a very coachable young man with a great work ethic and attitude which makes the sky the limit for him from a baseball standpoint. He is a team guy and is looked up to by all of his teammates as a leader. He's the type of guy that I always want on my team. He comes to work every day to get better and help make others better," concluded Coach McQueary.
