But the Dixie National Forest - against all reason - is located in Utah instead of the Deep South. Go figure.

Yeah, this puzzle just rocked. Don't know the constructor but I see he has at least a few NYTs to his (or possibly her) name. There were 2 clue I just loved LOVED: THUNK (entry makes me think of the Femmes too...) and REBS Worst case of being completely lost... Had no idea where West Jordan is... Am I the only one who was racking his brain for Middle Eastern Lakes!! In comparison: Had one of those "I am hardcore" moments getting WRENS off the W, but there were plenty of other moments to cut me down to size! Not sure I buy 43A though... Not everything is of this world. Or am I missing something. Also really dislike clue for SUR... Other note: Do you call them safari jackets; over hear they're safari suits... At least if we're on the same page that is... Crazily open middle! >open mouth<. Yeah, this puzzle just rocked.
