Crossed the border into Utah
this morning, going toward Salt Lake City. Not quite where
we intended to go, but it'll be a nice detour. Yesterday, it
snowed. We'd stayed overnight in Rock Springs, and it only
took about 4 hours to get to Everton, but on the way, it
started to snow. We parked at Wal-mart to wait the wand and
snow out. It let up for a while, but started again, so we
staed overnight. Now long after getting into Utah, we hit
some fog. Real thick too, we could hardly see 10 feet in any
direction.

We stayed in Moab last night.
Nice place, couldn't find a Wal-mart to park in, so we went
to a City Market instead.
Archers Park is impressive.
Slim's been raving about it, and I'll have to admit it's
like nothing I've seen before. The views are great. Slim
says that this is the America he wants me to see. America is
a great and beautiful place, it's great to be able to see it
like this.
Slim's been giving me a running
commentary as we drove through the park It's good to see
that his enthusiasm hasn't gone away. He's got some life
back when he does that. He loves the place, and really wants
me to like it to. When I said I loved it, he got tears in
his eyes. He was pleased when I said that.
We went to Archers Park and Dead
Horse Point looking for places to camp. Neither had water,
so we didn't stay. Just outside Archers Park, there's an RV
park. Prices aren't great, but we're staying a couple of
nights.
