Monday, May 24.  We have been on our trip for a week now, and it has exceeded any expectations we had.  We are having a wonderful time, seeing nature's beauty at its best.

Today, it was snowing when I got up, just a little ground cover in the grass, but I did take a 30-minute walk in the snow.

Then we packed up and moved down the road, to Manti, Utah for the night.  We drove up Hwy 89, had lunch next to a fast-moving river, and saw scenery too lovely to describe.  Brenda, we are all mindful of our rock boxes.  Here's Dave with a new find for you.



Who knew Southern Utah was so beautiful.  Two mule deer crossed the road in front of us, and we looked at snow-covered mountains all day, including from our campground tonight.  We saw 3 marmots playing in the field across from the campground.  Tomorrow we head to Salt Lake City, and hope to visit an open copper mine and a candy factory, among other things.  We did laundry in town this afternoon, and hit the grocery store for a few supplies.  Here's a few pix of our drive today.

Here's our little foursome camped at Manti.  Cathy, happy birthday tomorrow, and thanks so much for making this blog possible.

  1. Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm concentrating on the getting better part, the older not so much =) Joe was just looking through a book of stamps we found amongst his folks many auction finds and said, "Wouldn't it be cool if we have the most expensive stamp ever sold? I'd quit my job." To which I replied, "And we'd buy an RV and follow Joe & Wilma!!"
