Safe in Provo Utah

Hello Fam & friends! God has again provided safe travels for us as we ventured from Dillon, Montana to Provo, Utah today. Several crazy drivers decided at the last minute that they simply must be in front of us at the last minute. We discovered something else today - signal lights seem to be optional. It's like a game of surprise - here I am in the lane beside you now tada, I'm right in front of you! It's all good though - Scott is a great driver.

We had a long drive today at just shy of 6 hours. The mercury hit 34... it's days like this (already) when I wonder if we planned this trip with too great a distance but we'll see how we feel when we've taken it all in. Tomorrow we head to Bryce Canyon at Cannonville, Utah for 3 nights. Our drive is a mere 3.75 hours. YAY!

I spotted this jeep (the #1 choice of Patton during WWII) at the campground we left this morning. The guy driving it told us that he and his father did a 100% rebuild on it last summer - took them 5 months! Under the hood you'll find a 6 cylinder flat head engine (sounds impressive huh? Ya, I have no idea what that all means either).






Driver's side







Imagine driving down the street in Calgary in this! There is a large shell (above) on the front grill and a gun each on both sides as well as one strapped to the back. Oh, and one in the backseat. CPS may have a few questions...







We noticed the topography begin to change today with more shale like colors being exposed in the mountains. This one was cool because of the spike atop the edge.








Look at these beautiful girls - I just couldn't leave them off the blog! My niece's kids - Anna, Julia, Elizabeth & Claire are joined by Emily & Kaitlyn.
