Backroads

It sounded like rocks being thrown with great force at my van! I wanted to put my arms around her to protect her from the violent rain and hail storm, but all I could do was drive slowly and carefully through it to to get on the other side of the storm. About half the traffic, with less guts than I, pulled off the road to wait out what was to be a long and pouring down storm. Eventually the black skies began to lighten, and I watched the cars that passed me for hailstone pock marks. Fortunately we avoided any damage. On the brighter side, I drove along some great rivers today, Rivers famous for their fly fishing - the Madison and West Fork of Henry's Lake. Lots of camping and fishing going on!

I am camped in the best campground of my trip - in Provo Utah. It is beautiful here, with the Provo River on three sides of the campground. It is nice and cool, a wonderful last night on my journey. A long pull tomorrow will get me home. It is difficult to express the freedom and joy I get from these road trips. Home is calling, however, and I must give Thanks for a safe and wonderful journey. Love, Liz
