Travel toward Salt Lake City, Utah
Today was a travel day to get us closer to Salt Lake City. We left Kanab this morning and travelled about an hour on Highway 89 that we were on yesterday going to Red Canyton and Bryce Canyon. It is a good state highway. Today, we turned onto Utah Highway 14 that would take us to Interstate 15 and on to Salt Lake City.
Utah Hwy 14 had a sign that said "Scenic Highway". Well, let me say to begin with, That sign and an RV doesn't mix very well. The road was up and down mountains which crooked and turned (almost back into itself). And, we thought we had seen snow up until now--but today was something else and at even higher elevations. There was snow everywhere. We thought the signs along the road that read 'icy roads' didn't apply this time of the year--but they could have easily! Thank Heaven Hwy 14 was only 42 miles long--but it took about 2 1/2 hours to drive it! I got several good pictures of the snow around Navajo Lake on Hwy 14--beautiful sceney.
ADDED:(OPPS!!!!!Sorry, I deleted all today's pictures in the camera before I looked at them in the computer---all I have left is the one you see at the top.)
We decided to stop at Provo which is about 15 miles south of Salt Lake City. We set up at Lakeside RV Camp. Let me tell you, the good Lord looks after fools and old folks (& we're both!). The people here are so nice--they told us of a storage vacility for the RV while we're gone to Hawaii--and right across the street from the RV park. We'll stay here until Monday morning; take the RV across the street; drive the car to an airport motel, stay there Monday night and leave the car at the motel. The hotel will shuttle us to the airport. After Hawaii, we'll spend the night at the motel; next day pick up the RV and off to Montana!----This will work out wonderfully!
We're supposed to go to see the Morman Tabernacle tomorrow or Monday. If we do, I'll do pictures and keep you up-to-date.
Until then, keep us in your prayers..hugs
