SNOWY MOUNTAIN PEAKS, RIVER GORGES, AND A WILDFIRE.
Day 14 – It rained most of the night. When we got up at 7:30 a.m. it was cloudy, 44 degrees, and a light wind. We were not in a big hurry to leave this morning; our drive shouldn’t be too long today. Rob put the Utah sticker on the travel map. We will definitely explore Utah more at another time; the northern part was just incredibly beautiful.

Day 13 – The traffic noise from I-84 is really loud; otherwise this is a good campground. It’s by the beautiful Great Salt Lake with the mountains behind it on one side, and close-by mountains on the other side. It was not crowded last night, but tonight they were fully booked up. It was 38 degrees this morning when we got up.
THE PROMISED LAND.
Day 12 – We were going to name today’s post, “Home on the Range”, but two things happened to change this: we haven’t yet seen any buffalo (although we have seen antelope playing), and the scenery changed from range-like to shock & awe-like. We spent most of today driving with our mouths open; the scenery was magnificent.
