Salt Lake City…
About 11 am our friends, Pat and Judy, came over to our rig, and after talking for a while we headed out for lunch right down the street at Applebee’s.
After talking over old times after lunch, we headed out for some sightseeing. We spent several hours driving around downtown, and then up into the hills overlooking the city.
Here’s a shot of the Mormon Temple and the Temple plaza.
And here’s a side shot of the Temple.
This is up in the hills north of the city looking down on State St., the main thoroughfare running for miles out from the city.
Here’s a shot of the mountains to the west of Salt Lake City. They had snow here in Salt Lake just last week, and are trying to reopen the ski areas because of all the snow they’ve had.
And here’s another colorful mascot like the pronghorn antelope we saw the other day.
After coming back to the rig, Pat and Judy headed home for a while, Then about 5:30 we met them and some of their family at the Texas Roadhouse a few miles away.
We had a great time getting to know them, along with the great food.
After dinner we took Pat and Judy home, with a detour to the new Mormon Temple up in the hills overlooking Draper.
We got back to the rig a little before 8 pm and settled in for the night.
Tomorrow we’ll run some errands and then meet Pat and Judy at a nearby Famous Dave’s BBQ for dinner.
More tomorrow…
