Fairfield Inn By Marriott Provo

... day progressed, however, we found ourselves looking up into the horizon and seeing a black-blue wall of a Utah desert flash flood coming up on us rather quickly. We ran back to the cars amid the rain/hail which continued into the night, yet Apples, Andres, and Elisa managed to get a raging fire going, so we weren't entirely freezing until we got into the tents.<br>We'll save the rest for the next entry!

... we decided to call it a night and camp it up in Provo. Definitely not the best place we stayed but it is one step up from our first night. Tomorrow we're on our way to Moab, Utah. We should be able to get there in a decent time. We're looking forward to getting away from a big city and off the freeway. Today is the first time we have been on a freeway since we left home on I-84 ...

... note for "DOMENY". It said our room number and "Please us eonly one bed since you booked for one queen." The room had two doubles. Weird.<br><br>The trip TO Utah was cool, though. We drove through the Mojave desert. We drove down the Vegas Strip and decided we don't need to return. We crossed the borders of 4 states.<br><br>It begins.

... bus kept on stopping at Alhambra and other places before the man behind the wheel asked all of us to get out of the bus for a transfer. ****! Okay? So I had to go to the restroom, but we ended up going to one that really sucked. No toilet paper, the floors were wet, plus the bathroom line was long for BOTH males and females, which indicated that the restroom is only for men AND women. That was great! &gt;_&lt; <br><br>At least the bus we went to was ...

... t even think of attempting. Today, at Canyonland I set out on a supposedly easy half mile trek to view an arch that overlooks the canyon. Nowhere did any of the information posted in our brochure or at the trailhead tell of the 101 steps up and 63 down&#8230;.just to get to the arch. Then you had to reverse the process. Thank goodness, it was a relatively cool and cloudy day. Otherwise, I would have croaked. By the time I got to the top of the 101 steps ...

the 75 miles from Provo to Price are very beautiful I would imagine on a nicer day with better road conditions. Hwy 6 is under construction most of the way. We got up early to try to aviod some of the traffic. That ment 5am breakfast and 6:15 on the road. Unlike Florida the wind is up early and we had to go through a canyon that has a wind farm in it and of course the ...

... room booked for tonight..... drove around some more mountains, and hung out on some pretty dark stretches of interstate. (Who knew there was pretty much NOTHING from the border of Utah until about 4 hours into Utah near Provo? Well, except for Beaver City of course!) Now we're here, at the lovely fairfield in in provo, utah where we will most likely do some crazy stretches and sleep like little babies. Hope you all enjoy the stories! More to come tomorrow :)

... to share my past and present experiences with my family.<br>2. I wanted to show Utah to the rest of the world. I wanted to show everything it has to offer. All I hear about it are stereotypes about Mormons or people ask if it's flat, or in the middle, or what there is to do there. It's a diverse state and has incredible things to offer, especially for people interested in the outdoors. <br>3. My own record-keeping of my experiences ...

... room. Guess what we discovered in Provo--Fall! It's cold here, and there's snow in them thar hills. Utah, I will definitely be back! Anyone up for a long backpacking trip?? <br><br>Jenny <br><br><br>Finally, south east Utah! I'd been waiting for this part of the trip since we were still in Missoula! In the middle of August, about 2 weeks before Jenny and I left on this trip I went on a week long rafting/kayaking trip with my friend Silas and some of his friends on ...
