Neko's Bizarre Adventure Pt 4 - Utah Is Not Crash
I have to admit. I didn't think Utah was a very interesting state. Until today. It really amazes me how different the terrain is in different parts of the United States. So much color and texture! It makes me wish I had time to travel with a canvas and paint some of the scenery I saw. I think we stopped and took more pics in Moeb, UT than anywhere else. We drove by the Wilson Arch which was really cool. The fact that nature made that happen just amazes me. Also, we drove by the Hole n' a Rock, a 5,000 sq ft house with a gift shop and a zoo that was built into a mountain. I wish we had time to go in and check it out, but unfortunately we didn't think about it at the time. Perhaps someday, on our way back to Texas.

Today wasn't such a long drive, except for that last stretch as we made it into Layton. Traffic delayed us almost half an hour. We were famished by the time we got to our hotel, and also, it was COLD. AS. HELL. So we quickly got our stuff inside, let the cats loose into the room, fed them and then walked over to the place next to the hotel (so we don't lose our rock star parking), turned out to be a barbeque place, Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que. Pretty darn good! I guess I'm probably the worst food critic because I'm not really that picky. Rarely do I absolutely hate food when I go out to eat. But that being said, I enjoyed it. Got a delicious pumpkin ale brewed in Park City to go with my "Texas" Brisket.
In the last year, I have developed allergy related asthma. So I have to use an inhaler once in a while. Well, since we started traveling, needless to say, I've had to use it quite often. The weather change and elevation has something to do with it, obviously. Thankfully my mother in law had a spare inhaler for me, mine is almost out.
Also, we will try to go for an 8-9 hour drive tomorrow and make it all the way to Pendelton, OR. The weather is supposed to be horrible the next few days, we should bypass the majority of it if we just skip Boise, save for a quick break in between. Hoping my cats will survive another long drive without any accidents.
Just another 12-13 hours before we reach Olympia!
