Moab

After Ogden, we made a brief stop in Temple Square in Salt Lake. Very pretty, but every conversation turned towards the great spirit in the sky which made things a little annoying. However, we did notice all the missionaries in the square were young, good locking chicks. Imagine that!?

After Salt Lake we made a stop in Helper - named so because this town is where helper engines were kept to get trains through the mountains - to see a small mining/railroad/history museum. Cute, but small, not the greatest, Torbs was only slightly impressed - enough to properly use the facilities.

Our next stop was a Dinosaur and Paleontology museum in Price. Torben spent most of the time digging in the sandbox looking for fossils (plastic cars, dog bones etc)

Finally we ended up in Moab. What a beautiful place! We met up with one of Kris's old friends, Dan, and his kids Evan and Issac. The kids got along tremendously, especially at the sand dune arch where they ran screamed, climbed, rolled, buried and jumped in the fine sand at the base of the arch. We were cleaning sand out of pockets, shoes and various bodily cracks for a few days after. The kids also introduced the monkey to Road Runner and friends, Meep Meep!
