Well folks, today was a tough day. You know it's not a good sign when you both start and end in an RV park. All started off well as we made good time to Salt Lake City, Utah from middle-of-no-where, Wyoming (seriously I don't even remember the name but it was truly the west you read about in cowboy tales). After a phenomenal lunch at the Red Iguana, a recommendation from Uncle Steven we visited the Mormon temple where many attempted and failed to convert us, no shock there. Then the day took a downward spin as we saw a gruesome accident on highway 6, which we later learned from the friendly people in Price, UT, is the most dangerous road in the whole country. The only good part about the accident was that we were literally right in front of the car that crashed so we were not part of the backup that surely came afterwards. Unfortunately, we saw the WHOLE thing and the odds didn't look good (it appeared the driver was drunk since the car was weaving and out of control). That certainly put a damper on our moods but the cute coffee shop we are in now and the exceedingly nice people here are helping to ease our nerves. Now we will go to the "campsite," watch a movie, and head out to Arches tomorrow! Just so you know, the pictures (again totally unrelated) are from Berkeley Pit in Butte, MT which is a working copper mine.
