Here we are in Salt Lake City. It was chilly up here today and the tips of the Wasatch Moutains have a new dusting of snow on top. It's hard to find a prettier moutain range than these. As it turns out we're spending the weekend here and enjoying a couple days off. After all the miles we've covered lately, it feels good to have nothing to do. There was a load we were supposed pick up here in SLC this morning and take to Wisconsin but it ended up getting delayed until Monday. That didn't upset us at all. We have been hearing the truck make noises again lately and it was a good chance to put it in the shop. Before the day was over, we were paying to have a new turbo installed on the truck. That's one of the more expensive repairs. Of course it couldn't be anything easy and cheap!
We finished a good trip yesterday. Our route covered a bunch of new roads this week, including US 50 thru central Colorado. It's now on the 'must-go-back-to-in-a-car-someday' list. I cannot believe I have a job where I can see all this cool stuff and get paid to do it. I'm going to miss this someday if I ever retire! It was topped off with perfect weather to cross the Rocky Mountains. We successfully avoided the high mountains all winter and it was good to be back in time for their blooming spring. I took a couple hundred pictures on this very scenic trip from southern Texas to northern Utah. I'll post a bunch of them below.
