After driving a few blocks someone started tailing me, and it was extremely creepy. Sensing that I might be in danger, I worked my way back to the highway and got out of town pronto. I stopped in St. George, a city of about 100,000 people, before making the final 2 hour trip back to Vegas. The most notable thing about that drive was that the fight was going on between a rancher in the Mesquite, Nevada area named Cliven Bundy and the federal government over cattle grazing on federal land. There was a 10 mile backup on the northbound side of the I-15 of people attending a protest in support of Bundy.

Further affiant sayeth not.
Skipping Bryce and Zions for Hilldale, big mistake.
