We drove straight through Wyoming to get to Salt Lake City. We had two goals, one the Red Iguana (see July 26 entry) and to find a place to hunker down as a snow storm threatened. Driving an RV in the snow is not a brilliant idea though we have done it; driving in heavy winds is incredibly stupid (we have done that too). Utah promised both and Salt Lake City does have diversions that keep us from getting cabin fever. Those flakes of snow in the picture were up to an inch in diameter.
We spent time in the Family Ancestry Center researching our relatives. Jerry has found his grandparents and even the draft notice of his uncle who was killed the last day of WWI. I found my mother’s naturalization requests and a listing for her job the year she married my father. Doing this research is like running a maze, one thing leads to another but you can’t find your way back to start.
The weather continues to threaten so we don’t know when we will leave. We will do our final post as we spot the Sierras and home.
