- We turn an errand to pick up some cabinet doors in eastern Utah to a side trip through part of the San Rafael Swell. It is a geological wonder!

I’m so glad you found someone who could build and match your cabinet doors! They are beautiful 🌺
Thank you. We love them, too!
The cabinet doors are beautiful! It’s not likely that I will ever be able to see these beautiful sights in person, so thank you for sharing the trip.
You are very welcome.
Thank you so much for this road trip. Had never heard of the Swell. How beautiful! You got some wonderful shots.
I enjoy your Homestead channel. You are one of the few peppers that comes across as forward thinking and reasonable and not the least bit paranoid and alarmist. At 75, I've just joined your ranks in a very limited way. You've taught me so much. Thank you. I will continue to follow both of your channels.
Thank you so much! We are happy that you are a part of both communities.
Thank you for taking us along. I enjoyed the scenery. I do enjoy your channel very much and learn so much from it.
So glad to hear that. Thank you.
Wow! Absolutely Beautiful country!! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us!! Amazing!!
You are very welcome.
Oh my, such Beautiful scenery. 🤗
Thank you muchly to both of you, for sharing it with us.
The cupboard doors are a perfect match.
Take care & keep really busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶
Thank you.
@@trailgrazers3690 👍🤗❤🙂🐶
We have such a beautiful country. Thank you for letting us go along with you🙂
Hi Pam and Jim. Love your new doors, they did a fab job. I am so happy someone who did a great job for you. The swell is so cool. Funny, where ever a person goes and how different each place is….it has its own kind of beauty.. that was incredible thru the swell. Thanks for taking us along 🌷🇨🇦
You are very welcome. Well said, Lyn. Thanks.
We live in southern Arizona by the border. We paid a man in a shop to make a kitchen cabinet. When we had not heard back, we checked up. The man had gone to Mexico with several orders of dollars, never to return. We had to start over. We learned to never pay in advance again. We did remodel our kitchen, but what an ordeal! Good luck!
I loved the trip. Thank you. It was beautiful and very nicely narrated. I grew up in the Big Horn Basin in Wyoming and loved going through the Wind River Canyon because the layers of rock were so well marked. We spent lots of time in the summer going to the mountains and fossil and artifact hunting. This video was the first time for me to see this part of I-70.
We lived in Mass. for several years and, after having grown up with beautiful vistas, I needed to go to the top of Mt. Wachusett on a fairly regular basis so I could exercise my 'far-seeing eyes'. There is a 360 view from the top. I did love the trees and the green there, but....
We are all blessed to have such a variety of beauty around us wherever we live. I have favorite places, of course, but really appreciate so many different ecosystems.
Thank you! As usual, another interesting and enjoyable vlog. Two thumbs up on the cabinet doors! 👍👍
Thank you.
Thanks for the tour and allowing us to tag along. Getting off the main road is how we like to travel. We are in Mississippi and haven’t been that far west in a few years. We hope to make another trip soon. Will have to keep this place in mind.
Hope you can see it someday. Our photography just doesn't do it justice!
How interesting and beautiful!
Thank you for your wonderful geology lesson and trip photography! Sigh…you make me very nostalgic for the trips of my youth! I’ve only driven the length of Utah once, but I remember vividly being astonished and delighted by the scenery! Good luck with your kitchen! We went through a similar experience with a bathroom remodel last year. It was awful!
Thanks for your comments.
Thank you for the ride! Looks awesome!
Thank you! Just beautiful scenery and love your cabinet doors!
Thank you! We do too.
Thank you for taking us on this trip with you. It was very interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you, I really enjoyed my field trip. I didn’t even get car sick 😉😁what a beautiful country we live in. Sharing the places around your area make me want to get out and hit the road. Thank you both. Cabinet doors are beautiful, happy you found someone that gave you such a perfect outcome.
Thank you.
Beautiful...thanks for sharing your beautiful Utah!
You are welcome.
A few years back we came through San Rafael Swell and all I could think was how beautiful and massive it was. We caught the light just right and the colors just popped.
So glad you were able to see all the colors! They are amazing.
I'm glad you were able to get the matching cabinet doors after all!
Me too! Thanks.
Wow is right!!!! Absolutely stunning scenery.
Thank you for sharing.
Hope you both had a wonderful time xxx
Thank yuou!
Greetings from South Africa! Thanks for sharing your trip with us! This reminds me so much of the area in our country called the Great Karoo. Also another part of our country called the "Richtersveld". Please come and visit!!! Regards!
We would love to do that! Thank you.
I am so glad to live out west, amazing views.
Yes, I agree!
I'm amazed by the magnificence of God's creation. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I truly agree about God's creations!
When we were on a road trip when my boys were little, they would invariably ask if we were lost (long, long before GPS). I always answered that we were having an adventure. Thanks for the beautiful scenery and the great memory.
Love those adventures! Thanks.
I totally understand. We remodeled our kitchen and it took ten months and numerous calls to get one missing shelf. But, where live is beautiful. I live in Southwest Virginia. It’s beautiful here in the mountains
Sounds lovely. I have a son who lives in McLain.
I started reading before I would make a comment and everyone said exactly what I was going to say. Thanks for another great video and taking us on a trip with you. Beautiful Utah. We live in Cedar City
We are practically neighbors! So beautiful!
Thankyou Pam and Jim, you both are wonderful tour directors! Can't wait to visit there again. Such beautiful wilderness!
We brake for road cuts. Thanks for another fabulous video.
LOL! Some of my favorite places the read the earth!
That was so interesting and beautiful. I am partial to our green rolling hills of Iowa, but that would be a wonderful place to live near to and visit frequently. I appreciate your information and descriptions as you travel which brings it all to life in a way that pictures never could. Thank you! (I'm with you on not going near the edge for sure!!!)
Thanks.
Thank you so much for your video on the road. I am not able to go out and I miss it. Beautiful country. Thank you for sharing and all you do.
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the show! I would love to visit Utah . One of the very few states I’ve haven’t been to.
Oh goodness--you should plan to visit. We have gorgeous scenery
So nice! We've vacationed in that area years ago. Excellent video!
Thank you.
What a spectacular trip and what beautiful cabinet doors!
We agree! Thank you.
What a nice trip.❤ I love that area so much ❤
We do too! Thanks for watching.
Very interesting! You mentioned your kitchen, remodeling now days is ALWAYS increased exponentially to given date and time. I lived in our bedroom with hot plate and microwave for over 6 months!!! Miserable! Hope you get completed soon!
I found the swell on Google maps between Emery and Green River. The colors and patterns are spectacular! They must have taken their images at a time of day when the colors weren't washed out. Thank you for the geology lesson!
Yes, there are some beautiful pictures of the Swell on the Internet. It is difficult to capture the enormity and beauty of the whole place with our equipment.
We have a beautiful state
Yes, we do!
I love this! Science lesson and then a fabulous field trip. Traveling with you two is so much fun! We are there even before we can even get to ask 😉.
Such a fantastic video, Pam and Jim. Safe travels, and we all even behaved in the back.
I really like the matched cabinet doors. That is truly talent! Be blessed, and stay blessed.
💜💜
Gorgeous! Now I want to visit.
I hope you do!
Oh my goodness, so unique and such beauty! I may never see this with my own eyes so thank you so much for taking us along and sharing this trip!
Beautiful area!
I think so too! Thanks.
Hi, my mom was born and raised in Cleveland, Emery County, Utah. You passed by our family farm going into Price. I remember you have a sister in Huntington, but didn’t know you have a brother in Price. I hope he told you about Nine Mile Canyon in Emery County (Indian writings on rocks, etc.). Check it out for another adventure.
I have heard about that! We will have to check it out. Thanks for the reminder.
Awesome!
Thanks!
What a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.
We have a place very close to us that has similar formations. Palo Duro State Park. The Grand Canyon of Texas. If you have time, do a computer search about it. I tried to find a way to attach a photo but it seems I can't. I love seeing all the different layers of soil and formations. These kind of places are amazing works of natural art.
Beautiful!
I agree.
Capitalizing on cabinet doors redemption. Swell! ❤
LOL! Loved the pun!
Wow! That was awesome and thank you for taking us! I felt like is was riding in the back seat. I don't travel any more so I'm really enjoying these travel videos. I can also empathize with you on "getting burned" with your kitchen. When I moved here 6 years ago I put in a 10 x 10' shed, remodeled the bathroom and also the kitchen. All of them did not go well. Have a good day!
Thanks, I’ve been to Utah and seen a lot of beautiful country but do not think I have been there. You should go see the petrified forest . It’s in Arizona though . Very pretty.
I have been there and it is beautiful. I have some rock from that area--legal!
What a fun trip and thank you for taking us along!!!
God bless ya'll 🕊
Oh! the Swell is swell! The overlook views are fantastic. Love that area. You are speaking to my heart. Geology is my language.
Your video stirred my travel memories!
I'm glad the doors are good!
Thank you so much for this video. It was so needed. I'm so, so happy you and your channels are thriving!
I really enjoy seeing places around our country so very beautiful. Thank you for the knowledge and views.
Oh my gosh! We were just over there on I-70 going through San Rafael Swell a couple of weeks ago, going and coming back home from Bryce. We actually stopped at the same rest stop you did on our way home. A spectacular area for sure. I was driving that area on I-70 and I found it has some pretty steep hills and sharp curves. My hands gripping the steering wheel. I didn’t like the trucks air pushing me around there. 😩😩 We stopped in that area a few years ago at a pull off rest area heading West and purchased a pair of beautiful earrings from a Ute Native American. We keep saying, we wish it wasn’t so far to get over to that part of Utah. We love that area so much. A 9 1/2 -10 hour drive at our age is very tiring even switching off driving. Your kitchen is beautiful. Please show us the whole kitchen once finished. Sorry for your incompetent sub-contractor. That has to be so upsetting! Eight months!!!!!!! Wow!
Thanks for your comment. I have a Navajo rug purchased by my maternal grandparents over 100 years ago as a gift for my fraternal grandparents when they came to Arizona for my parents' wedding. They bought the rug from a roadside stand in the middle of the reservation. I treasure it!
The Swell is such a breathtaking sight! Castle Country is really a beautiful place!
We are planning a trip to SLC and debating flying or driving. Now I want to drive. It has been years since we spent time in southern UT. Also as a geologist you did a great job explaining the swell and surrounding area. 😀 thanks for the views.
You are welcome. So glad you approve of my explanation. My expertise is plants, but I love geology!
I like seeing parts of Utah. But I have to be careful where I drive or hike. I'm very leary of heights. I've never fallen to make me so.I can walk 2 or 3 feet from edge, but forget trails along them.
Great video. I followed you on my Utah map. On the backroad you took go to Price , did it take you to Moore on Hwy 10 or Emery? Beautiful scenery and beautiful cabinets!
It connected with Hwy 10 and we went into Price that way.
Oh my stats, is the Beaver creamery still going? Such fun memories of stopping there on trips from Dixie to SLC. Enjoy one for me.
Loved the cheese curds!
It’s had such an upgrade from my days of patronage.
Oh my stars, not stats😂
Lovely matching doors, glad you stuck to your original design.
Thanks.
You are pretty mad about those cabinets, I call being that mad "Salty"
My Uncle use to do "sand art" he would use different colored sands in layers in a fish bowl, almost like you did with the towels.
It's was pretty interesting.
Thank you for everything,.
You are welcome.
I find the desert southwest not beautiful. I must prefer the green forest land. But I’m glad you enjoy it. We had quite a trump w/ you!
I meant trip not trump!
I, too, am from the Eastern woodlands in the US, and I LOVE our forests and terrain. But. Having visited in the West, I fell in love with that too. The COLORS and incredible formations of the rocks and sky! Nothing is more beautiful than sunsets in the desert when temperatures drop, the light softens, and the colors are revealed. I would never move there & use scarce natural resources-especially water! The people there need to work that out.
I think it takes awhile to learn to love the desert, but I certainly do. I think I fell in love with learning the geology of how it was all formed. That is what is so intriguing to me.
no sound but nice scenery
Hmmm...there is sound when I play it. I will keep checking.
Sometimes you have to check phone settings if you are viewing on a phone, I've even had to reboot my phone before to get you tube sound to work.
I totally understand about contractors. Im sorry but it seems like there are no more contractors in the US that is dedicated to their profession. I remember when they stuck to their agreements, on time, paid close attention to details and proud of their work. Now they just want to throw things together and get their money. We've had roofers that can't do wood work, tile layers that laid tile unevenly, painters that used inferior paint and sc**wed us for his mistake and A/C that didn't purchase the correct size ducts then didn't fasten them properly. I'm just fed up can you tell? Sorry, what you said triggered me.
I have been triggered for the entire 8 months of this ordeal. Hope we never have to go through anything like this again!
