After traveling 364 miles today from Hatch in southern Utah to Tremonton in northern UT, I checked in for a free night at the Hampton Inn. The journey offered many interesting views of the mountains and various rock formations. I took US 89 rather than I15 most of the way and was able to travel at a slightly slower pace soaking up the scenery. The views cutting through the Wasatch Mountains southwest of Provo, UT were unbelievable.
Until today I'd only ridden though a few brief showers despite many a threatening sky. But it finally happened ... today the sky opened and dumped a significant amount of rain. Worst part about it was that I was on I15 in the Salt Lake City area where there were 5 lanes of heavy traffic so I got as much dirty water from the spray created by the traffic as I did clean water from the heavens! Driving was very hectic for about an hour.
Tomorrow I am modifying my trip plan to visit Fossil Butte National Monument in Wyoming and Craters of the Moon in Utah.
Oh, by the way, I may not have mentioned that I modified my original plan and decided to skip Las Vegas. So today, I traveled northward through Utah rather than Nevada.

Hey Good Buddy....your pictures are awesome as is the adventure you're on!! Maria and I just got back from annual church conference in Norfolk so I hadn't had a chance to comment sooner. Boy, are you experiencing some country. When I saw the pictures of the Grand Canyon I recalled the words
ReplyDeleteto the hymn, "For the beauty of the earth..for the glory of the skies, for which the love from our birth over & a around us lies...." Stay well, my friend. Talk to you soon. Kent
Thanks Vonnie. Am glad that you are along for the ride with your wild and crazy uncle!
ReplyDeleteKent, I told Milly that I was going to call you the other evening but se told me that you'd be getting in late from the conference. Next time I have the time and cell phone coverage (not often do those two come together) I'll give you a call.
Uncle Craig....
ReplyDeleteBe safe and have a wonderful time.
Love, Vonnie
