Monday Evening in Idaho

Small Evidence of Weather Comments Later in this Blog Segment.
You should discover pictures at the Kodak site that show us at a location in Utah before starting today's leg of the journey (look for the strange looking American Indian dwelling). Most of today's driving through Provo and Salt Lake City and on through most of this small leg of Idaho found us facing high winds, rain and construction. We were quite surprised to find that a large portion of the Utah strech was quite urban while other areas remain quite undisturbed and naturally amazing.

As you view the many photos, keep in mind that although you see a whole lot of mountain shots (can't help ourselves) it is NOT the same mountain over and over. There may be multiple pics of a few but mostly you should know that this part of the country has been mountain after mountain with each seeming larger than the one before. We always wait anxiously to see what lies just over the next rise. One of the biggest challenges so far - finding a campsite for the night (especially one with WiFi). For instance, today we found one that looked perfect but could find no one to check us in - even though there was also a motel! It seems that 'after hours' must start at about 4pm. Fortunately we found another good spot just 6 miles down the road.

Is there anything so far about this trip that we don't like? We are both really tired of the wind & are hoping for a windless day sometime soon.
