Southern Utah was pretty cool. We spent some time checking out Bryce Canyon and some of the other surrounding areas. Sights you see in pictures take on a whole different perspective in person. Mary has shared many pictures on Facebook but they do the canyon and rock formations no justice. After some snow in Panguitch we moved on down (up?) the road, north toward Salt Lake City.
We found a place to stay just north of Salt Lake City in Ogden and opted to stay for a whole week. As said in the movies, "it was an offer we couldn't refuse". One of my oldest and dearest friends, Linda, was following us on Facebook and sent us an OMG message. Her brother was living in Salt Lake City! You have to understand that I grew up with these two since I was 2 years old but haven't see Bill in between 30 and 40 years. We made plans and got together not knowing if we would have a lot to talk about. Well all I can say is 4 hours later we had to say our goodbyes. It was good to catch up and reminisce the good old days.
The next day we drove out to the Bonneville Salt Flats. I have read about it for years and knew it as the home of World Land Speed Records. It was quite drive and for some it might not seem worth it, but it is something to see. Acres and acres of flat hard packed salt makes you feel like you are on another planet. Spring time is the wet season so there was no racing on the "Flats" but maybe I will come back one year when they race late in the summer. I think that would be neat to see.
Well, that is all for now. There is more to see and I will share more later from our home in Ogden Utah because....
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
