It seems like every "fall back" season, when Daylight Time goes back to Standard Time, I am traveling near the junctions of Utah, Arizona, and Nevada. What a mess that makes! I start off with Mountain Daylight Time, then Mountain Standard, then Arizona Time, and finally Pacific Standard. The only thing I miss is Pacific Daylight.
I hate resetting the clock in the van. Various electronic devices in my trailer do not adjust themselves -- perhaps they would if I spent an hour wading through the Settings menu. The phone is the only gadget that is adjusted automatically, but I have always wondered if it uses the Time at the celltower or the time at the phone's location.
And my poor little dog. When do I feed her? She only cares about the Tummy Time Zone.
Still, this area makes for a nice visit. Yes St. George Utah now has the traffic of Las Vegas. What a skill it is to allow yourself to visit a place that used to be good, and give yourself the chance to get lucky without expecting to get lucky.
This year we got the ultimate surprise: several days of rain. The skies cracked open many times for dramatic skies.
Even I admit there is a bit of disappointment when leaving Technicolor Utah and entering grey/tan Nevada. But a person can adapt quickly to that by getting interested in Nevada on its own terms.
