Welcome, from Utah (but Salt Lake)! You're lucky to live down there. I can't believe I turned down a job in St. George last year .
You'll love having a Jeep living down there. If you have a day, try (if you haven't yet... Valley of Fire and that area around. Good times. I'm sure you've been to Toquerville Falls living down there, not to mention Sand Hollow.
Take a trip from Southern Parkway on BLM land to Vegas? That'd be fun!
