After dealing with some emails, getting coffee from Starbucks, we left SLC about 9:30. Very smoky today. After the obligatory stop at IKEA we continued down to Ashton Gardens at Thanksgiving Point. Before heading out into the gardens, we had nice lunch at their cafe.
Its a warm sunny day, albeit smoky. We spent about 1.5 hours hiking around the gardens. As pretty as it is, this is not the right time of year to be here. There's an army of busy bee workers tearing out this year's annuals and planting pansies and English Daisies by the millions and bulbs, bulbs and more bulbs!
From the gardens we drove about 3 hours down to Cedar City. There is so much commercial development in the Salt Lake Valley. The activity and traffic doesn't thin out until you get down to about Spanish Fork. (Brigham City to Spanish Fork is 130 miles of heavy traffic and constant construction). After that, its all "high desert" at 80 mph.
We arrived at our Comfort Inn, got a Subway for dinner, and watched the VP debate, followed by baseball playoffs. Tomorrow Cedar Breaks N.M. and Bryce Canyon.
