Ate breakfast overlooking the mountains and the Colorado River. Ah, there goes the Colorado River again. So, it is here that I will mention a bit of trivia. The colorado is the primary river of the Southwest. It drains somewhere in the vicinity of 242,000 square miles of land from the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. Nick has his own bit of trivia on the Colorado that involved a stand in actress and a famous actor. They had been riding over the desert and they were parched. The camera was still rolling and he handed her a drink of water from the river. Instead of them stopping the film, she drank it. She said it was the worst water she ever drank.
Anyway, we're on our way to Provo. The highways are amazing....no traffic and no stop lights. All you see are mountains. The terrain changed again in Thompson, Utah. The ground is now brush covered and the mountains are gray and beige. Farms are sporadic.
We stayed at the Lakeside RV Campground which was very lovely. We ate dinner outside under the shade trees. It was warm enough for me to get in the pool and do my walking. The pool was heated and it overlooked the Wasatch Mountains. What a backdrop!
To bed early.....we've got a long ride ahead of us tomorrow!
