It is Monday evening and I’m going to get caught up on our vacation.
We are at Utah Lake State Park on Utah Lake just west of Provo. Here’s what has happened:
Left home Thursday at 6:00 pm and drove until 11:00 pm., got to Wilsonville rest stop just south of Portland. 194 miles
Friday morning we were on the road at 5:30, got to Grants Pass at 10:00 a.m. And Richards at 7:40 p.m. 709 miles.
Saturday we went for a drive up into the mountain. Pretty much a paved logging road the sign at the bottom said up to 24% grade. It was a pretty drive. Had lunch at the top of the hill and returned to Richards.
Richard and I went to the rifle range which is just a couple of miles from his house to check the sighting on two of his rifles. He’s going hunt over the next couple weekends. They were both just fine. He let me shoot his .243 rifle. It’s been almost 40 years since I fired a rifle and I think I did pretty good. I’ll insert of picture of the 3 rounds I put into the target at 100 yards.
We then moved over to Vicki’s in Sparks. This will put us closer to Reno for the Sunday morning balloon races.
Sunday morning we left Vicki’s at 5:45 to go the the balloon races. I’ll attach some pictures, I took 493 all together. I’ll also put some into my google pictures later.
Sunday after noon Richard and I built a rack which attaches to the ceiling of Vicki’s garage so she can store her window sun shades during the winter.
Monday morning Jean and I left at 6:30 a.m and got to Utah Lake State Park just south of Salt Lake at 6:15 p.m. 562 miles for the day. This will leave us with 264 miles to get to Zion on tomorrow.
Night will do more later this week.
