Our trip to SLC

We left Tuesday for the return to Houston.
We finally got on the road about 9:45 am without incident.
We drove to Hermiston, Or and the return to the mountains was really ambiguous. It was beautiful and thrilling and at the same time very tiring climbing those grades and then coming down on the other side. The trip was 321 miles and I was very tired when we arrived at Hermiston.
We stayed there 2 days, and we had planned to go to Walla Walla Nursery to check out there irrigation system. They are one of Mike's suppliers and they were very helpful with our problem. I explained to the owner that our watering was very labor intensive and not very affective. I took a few pictures of their greenhouses and irrigation system and I e-mailed them to Mike. The nursery is on the Washington/Oregon border. One half of the nursery is in WA. and the other is in OR. I'm not sure how he handles the finances of 2 states, but I am sure he has figured it out.We then proceeded to Glenns Ferry, ID. where we stayed in a Passport America Park. It was only 50 feet from an active railroad line. It was very busy and we heard trains all night.
The next leg was a short drive, 225 miles, but still mountainous. I wasn't nearly as tired when we arrived in Brigham City, UT.
This is a quaint small town and the park is nice, too. The sites are close, but small green lawn and picnic table at each site. The sites are also shaded.

We are only 50+ miles from SLC and not too difficult drive.
We went down today and visited the Mormon Temple Square.We were greeted at the gate by 2 young ladies who offered and proceeded to give us a tour of the grounds. We got a good and informative tour. They led us to two of the buildings and gave us a history of LDS. They were on a volunteer program for 18 months at the temple and were very enthusiastic about their faith.
We found out that not only do boys go out to evangelize but so do the girls. They really look forward to their time out as they are so involved in their church.
After to the tour there was an organ recital in the tabernacle. This is a huge domed building in which the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform. There is a huge pipe organ and it is beautiful and sounds so good.

Becky called us yesterday and told us that our granddaughter has joined the snaggletooth club.
She lost a tooth in school. She has had a loose tooth for several weeks and it finally came out.We plan to go to church here in the morning here, and stay one more night here. We will do some site seeing here and move on down to Kanarraville, UT and see Brice Canyon and Zion National Park.
The park that we are staying in is close to both of them. So it should be convenient to both.

More when we visit those places.

Ta ta for now
