Back to yesterday's trip section. That drive on 50 and 70 was phenomenal. We went in and out of rain storms to arrive safely in Green River. We relished the scenery through the Monarch Pass in Utah; do you think you might, as well?
And what did I learn today? Nancy used her geography skills learned at Delaware to navigate us through the wilds of southern Utah...not a place with many interstates. According to one store clerk we spoke with, we brought rain to Utah. Zane Grey could not have a chosen a better locale for his Western stories than this wild, untamed area of the country. There are Oregon brown, Utah brown, Idaho brown, and Dakota brown. FB shared a family legend - Dad prevented a possible catastrophe by pointing out to a mother that her children were teasing a huge gorilla (the famous Carlos) who had previously broken the glass barrier, "See that plywood panel right there." The rain washed the dust from the air and it was like watching HDTV through the windshield.
Final notes:
1. New Mayer Family acronym: WWMKD - What would Mimi Kaye do?
2. FB mapped how far we've gone! OMG!!! As of now we are in New Mexico!! The journey continues.
