If you don't know where Fillmore, UT is, don't worry. We just stumbled upon it. It's a tiny town. It's a small park run by a very nice lady whose husband passed away in December of last year. She is closing it and asked if we wanted to buy the park. Don't think so although we do like it. And we really like her. The ride out of SLC was just awful. There's not one inch of space on the either side of the interstate that's not a gigantic gravel pit or a cement factory (or whatever they are correctly called). Then there are "zillions" of refineries. The air is so nasty that by this morning we knew we were going to be very sick if we did not get out of there. This coach sounded like a TB ward in a hospital. The interstate was so discombobulated it was horrible. We were actually thinking Idaho did not look so bad after about 2 hours on I-15. As has been our case during most of this trip, we have been divinely lead to some out of the way places which allowed us to meet some good people. The highlight of the dirty trip today was a farm of lavendar out in the middle of nowhere. I've only seen pictures of it. And it is not normally grown in the United States but they sure had a bumper crop growing. It was pretty but it was not in full bloom yet. I'd love to see it then, but we are not coming back this way if the "good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise". There is so much construction on all of the interstates in Utah that we are convinced they have a very powerful Senator and he has called in all of his chips. No state can afford this kind of construction without great assistance. We also drove through miles of absolutely desolate, dry, barren land that caused us to ask what state in its right mind would want to claim it. We might stay here a couple of days. Hopefully our next stop will be over the state line.
We survived a tough day and are happy to be in a nice place. Altitude: 5200 ft. You know we love that!
