Day One: Bonners Ferry to Salt Lake City


Travel time: 6am to 11pm

Word of the day: “baby gun”




 Other than DVDs, the winner for entertaining value was a pair of ten-cent water guns. Eva and Jude spent hours hunting wolves from the comfort of their five-point harnesses. Jude has heard Henry talking about his BB gun, and thus any gun to Jude is a “baby” gun.

At a rest stop

 
We took a little detour to the Lava Hot Springs about 10 miles off the interstate. This was a great way to ease our travel-weary bones after 12 hours in the car. We relaxed in the mineral pools for about an hour and a half before loading up for the last (what should have been) 2 hours to the hotel. Unfortunately due to a road closure and sketchy detour directions, we bumbled around the dark hills outside of Salt Lake City for an extra 45 minutes before we finally located our timeshare condo destination.

All in all it was amazingly smooth day of travel! Thanks for the prayers! Today we plan to have a much shorter driving day in order to explore God's breathtaking creation in Arches National Park.
