Oct 22nd~
We slept a good 10 hrs in that wal-mart parking lot!! All that hiking is taking its toll on us. We were driving to the McDonalds (if the wal-mart doesn't have a mcd's inside they usually have one right down the street) and I needed my morning coffee. Well Laura and I started right where we left off the night before--fighting about her driving. She was yelling --I was yelling--I finally said--"stop the car--I want out--I'm walking"..........to mcdonald's that is. I huffed and puffed my way and realized that if i want this trip to have any bit of pleasantness to it I'll just have to suck it up and act like everything is my fault. Oh--Laura is reading this over my shoulder and says that's not quite the truth.......hhhmmm maybe we should just let this one go for now. I think that is a great idea. (by the way--she's chanting right now "you are not the driver" uggh.
We finally reached Salt Lake City--wow---that is some salty Great Salt Lake. By the way--this might be our best viewing of the sunset..but you pay a price to see it. Not only by entering the State Park and paying the $8.00 fee (first time paying a park fee--all the rest were National parks and we had the annual national park pass)-oh back to paying for the view---the smell!! It was pretty nasty. We did see a whole lot of bison just wandering by the edge of the lake. Looked like they were drinking the water---isn't all that salt bad for them???
We drove towards Denver (no fighting) and spend the night at the Laramie, Wyoming Wal-mart.
