Salt Lake City & an Old Friend

We arrived in Salt Lake City(SLC) (actually a suburb called Magna)on Friday evening and proceeded to Gary's old friend and Air Force training mate Mel Felt's house. Mel and his wife Ina have an empty lot beside their house where we set up camp.

Friday we went for dinner with Mel & Ina at a very good and authentic Mexican Restaurant and got to know each other better.

Saturday, Mel and Ina took us on a tour of SLC and Temple square. we saw the wonderful sights of the Mormon Tabernacle,the temple square gardens and visited the Temple square Visitors centre. We then went to an excellent Asian restaurant for a very good supper.

On Sunday the four of us went to see the taping of the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs Radio and TV Show. As it was the Memorial Day Weekend, the US Air Force reserve band were the guest performers and the show was dedicated to the Vets and Fallen members of the Military. It was and extremely moving performance which left us in tears and which we will remember for years.

After the show we had brunch and returned home for more talking, reminiscing and Cards.

Monday was a shopping(for Gary) and R&R day with more chatting and cards.

This morning (Tuesday) we left about 830am and travelled all of 180 miles to the Village of trees RV resort in Declo Idaho. this is a very nice, neat well laid out RV resort with a very friendly staff and lots of amenities including Large Pull Thru lots,free WiFi and Cable, a store and Pizza restaurant with delivery to your campsite.

Tomorrow we head towards Oregon and hope to stop off at a State park near Pendelton Oregon. Thursday we plan to be in Fall City WA and Friday through until Monday we are booked into the Beachwood resort near Blaine. Hopefully somewhere along the way we will be able to up load some pictures.
