I Love SLC...Not
I always dread driving through Salt Lake City. We've been through that metropolis every year since 2001 and there is always construction!! The "city", to me, actually starts at Ogden and goes south through Provo. It's one big burb. This time the construction was in Ogden and it stopped the traffic. Two lane changes with bumper to bumper vehicles. We decided to just follow the trucks because they usually know what's up :)
We got through it with no incidents. The crappy thing about the area is there are NO rest stops. So we just stop before Ogden, fill up the tummy and the tank and then forge ahead. Utah seems to be thinking about sleepy drivers because they have these Public/Private rest areas but you have to drive the 100 miles through the cities to get to one.
We arrived here in Fillmore at the KOA and found cooler weather. We like this place. It's just an average KOA but the owners are very nice and the ambiance is relaxing. Wish we could stop here for a day or two. But tomorrow it's on to Las Vegas area.
