Great Salt Flats, Utah

This is a "salt cloud". The wind was blowing so hard that it appeared to be snowing, but it was salt. It was a very weird feeling to drive through this "cloud". The wind was gusting so hard.
Gina and I tried to find the actual salt flat race area. There really is no specific race area , it is just and open area with no marked area for racing. I wanted to get out on the flat and "rev up the engine" but I wasn't allowed! Guess that was a good thing.

Next stop would be Carson City, NV.

Until next time...............

Arches National Park, Moab, Ut.

The third day was spent visiting Arches National Park. If you love red rock and unique rock formations then you need to go to Arches Natl. Park. There are several national parks in Utah.
Arches is near Moab, Ut. which is a good place to spend the night. You need to get to the park early to see the morning light on the red rock.

Delta, Co. Friends

After driving through the Rocky Mtns. Gina and I stopped at Tom and Nadie's house for a wonderful home cooked meal and great fellowship. We had a great time. Gina enjoyed playing with the dog. After our visit we headed on to Moab, Ut. where we would stay that night so we could visit Arches National Park the next day.

Rocky Mountains

Gina standing in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Interstate 70 goes through the Rockies. That was an awesome drive. Gina did the driving and did the "hanging out the window" taking pictures! There was still alot of snow on the sides of the roads in the third week of April. It actually snowed on us while driving. We stayed the second night on the road in Denver. It was very cold overnight, had to defrost the window before taking off that morning. Next stop would be our friends Tom and Nadie in Delta, Colorado. Delta is close to Grand Junction.

First stop on trip to Cali.

First night on the road was in Saint Louis. The hotel room we had looked right out on the the arch.

Seth and Blake

So you can put a face with a name, this is Blake (left) and Seth (right).

Graduation

June 1, 2008. Graduation day for Blake. He has successfully completed the requirement for graduation, but most importantly he has completed an important phase of his life. He will now go on to the University of Kentucky this fall to start the next phase of life. This summer Blake will be working full time at his job at the "Do it Best" hardware store. I am very proud of Blake as well as his brother Seth. They both are working and supporting themselves. Seth completed his AS degree at Spencerian College in March of this year.

Go get'em boys!

Until next time...............
