Salt Lake City - Mile 3297 - Route 89 - Mile 855

When we began our travels today, we were ready for some boring travel. WRONG! There is just so much more beauty in this part of the country than we ever imagined. We traveled through Bridger National Forest. It is gorgeous mountains filled with evergreen forests.

Beauty around every turn.

Again today we saw many fisherpeople, kayaks and rafts in the mountain streams. Lots of people making the most of a beautiful holiday weekend.

We thought the use of antlers was pretty unique

throughout this small town. We also saw some homes

that must belong to FLDS "families" because of their

size, and a beautiful resort area called Bear Lake. The

water in Bear Lake looks aqua colored.

We did run into some rough weather, but found a closed drive-in for shelter.

We're here in Salt Lake City and not sure what tomorrow will bring - maybe seeing the temple where the Mormon Tabernacle Choir performs, maybe finding some geneological stuff - or maybe just plan the rest of our week.

We hope to be at Mary Jo and Lon's by Thursday, then on to Chuck and Marie's on Saturday. We haven't called them, yet, so hope they'll be home at Lake Havasu by then.
