If we hadn't already solidified our decision to leave, the night of below freezing temperatures, ice-solid feet and welcome mat of frost would have been a good motivater. We made record time folding up our tent and getting in the car turning the heat to maximum. After a stop for tea and a few hundred miles we were all warmed up. Eventually it was time for the essential nowhere town freeway exit diner to eat in. This one had covered wagons over each seat. Sooo rustic. The poor kid working there, he wasn't destined to stay there. God I hope he leaves for college and heads towards a coast. I tipped him well to help him on his way.
We pulled into Salt Lake City and searched for a WiFi hotspot. After getting lost and driving past the Mormon World Domination Headquarters, we got a connection, a reservation and directions.
We settled into our plush motel and soaked in the free, unlimited and hot showers. Soon though it was time for dinner. Travel Tip: If you go to Provo, UT on a Sunday don't expect to find anywhere that is open. Its a damn ghost town. Luckily one italian restaurant was open.
Luckily we are only staying here one night.
