9/28/2009 We Don’t Do COLD!

We watched the weather yesterday and big changes in the weather are going to be happening in this area. Changes that we want no part of. We even heard the “S” word being bandied about. Oh no, we don’t do the white stuff. I can’t even type that word anymore!

So we’re gettin’ outta Dodge. Well, Salt Lake City anyway. We started to “breakin’ camp” and Nancy came over and was talking with Bob. She must looked around because I heard her say, “Are you leaving?” He explained that yes were because of the weather forecast. She and George had heard it too and weren’t too happy with it either but they aren’t in a position to leave as they have a weeklong family reunion going on.

So we finished up packing up and in the meantime George and Nancy had to go. BUT not before I was able to get a picture.

We’ll see these dear friends in November when they’ll be in Phoenix for the month. Plans are already in place to get together.

Here we are in our parking place in Richard’s RV Park.

One last look at the mountain across the valley.

I liked this birdhouse so of course had to snap a picture of it.

Hittin’ the road!

The Kennecott Copper Mine, off in the distance.

So we picked I-15 South heading towards Beaver, Utah.

Not too far down the road I snapped a picture of this “LaVon tree”.

IMG_2387 Not only was the tree dead, my friend LaVon’s favorite kind, but everything surrounding it was dead too.

Further down the road we finally saw some color. The colors of autumn are showing here.

An even better look at the fall colors.

We’re in desert by now and even the fall colors are in abundance here.

We found the campground we’re going to be in for the next two nights with no problem. It was an easy run today and not tiring for Bob at all. We normally wouldn’t be staying two nights after an easy run but the winds are going to be picking up significantly and if we don’t have to drive in high winds then we don’t. No use in asking for trouble.

As promised, the winds picked up this evening so we’ll just stay here, nice and cozy and wait it out.
