(Glenn) After breakfast we headed northwest toward Salt Lake City. We detoured through the town of Provo to send another package of unneeded things back to Alabama and lighten our load another 39 pounds. We also went in Sam's Wholesale Club and bought Cathy a new camera. She lost hers for a short time at Canyonlands Park until someone drove up behind us and said they found it in the road and recognized us from photos on the camera. It was damaged and now difficult to operate and gave her a good excuse to buy a new toy. We toured through Big Cottonwoods Canyon today because it was recommended by our friend Jesse Mathews. It was a very scenic drive through the mountains and there were many nice homes and cabins. There were also a few resorts and many ski lifts so I assume this place gets very busy after the snow season begins. We are staying in Murray, Utah tonight and I am working on getting Cathy's helmet an audio system in the morning in Orem, Utah before we roll into Salt Lake City for a few days.
(Cathy) Yes we went to Sam's Club, no problem getting a day pass but they don't take Glenn's visa card so I had to pay for our camera on MY MasterCard. He loved it. I'm really the one that likes all the pics. . My camera was really old but I sure was glad I had been talking to these two couples that found our camera and they hunted us down. Now to learn to use a new camera. Most of my pics are taken on the fly going 70 mph. Never know what I will get.
We had an afternoon thunderstorm but we were snug in our room.Our hotel not only has breakfast but had a light supper tonight (shepards pie and salad).
I find it so fascinating how all the landscapes have changed over millions of years. These mountain ranges and canyons were once filled with water. Everything is constantly changing. Good chance my grandchildren will not see the same things I am seeing on this trip. There will be something new. Should have paid more attention in school. Now Glenn is my teacher.
