Our Great American Car Trip - To Salt Lake City

 

July 31 - We were up early to drive 292 miles to Salt Lake City stopping at the Islands in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park on the way.  We had not intended to visit this national park, but it was so close to where we were traveling that we 'had' to see it - and we were glad we did.


   


A short hike with some traversing of slick rock led us to Mesa Arch, one of the most scenic panoramas in the Park.  We also stopped and took in various canyons which are wider than the Grand Canyon, but not as deep.

 We jettisoned beach chairs, umbrellas and a cheap ice chest, added Michele's luggage before heading to Kalamazoo Michigan.  After an overnight stop at a cheap hotel in Beaver Falls, PA we dropped Michele off in Ann Abor before arriving at Marcia & Roy's home. The next morning we followed Marci to her lake house in Decatur .   Restoring vintage automobiles is Roy's avocation. This morning we drove around town in Roy's restored 1930 Packard before visiting Stan and Pam and playing Euchre at their home. The Canadian wildfires are effecting the area - Air quality was smoky yesterday but rain and wind blew that away. Today we drove to South Bend, Indiana to visit the Studebaker Car Museum , where we got to admire Roy's restored 1956 Golden Hawk that he donated to the museum. Also, we checked out the University of Notre Dame.
