Last week we had to run up to Salt Lake City to see our families. I really like Salt Lake in small doses and it has a lot of stuff going on up there, and not to mention all the people. But as my wife and I drove down Spanish Fork Canyon we rounded a bend and the smog layer was so thick it looked like a scene out of a movie where it had been bombed all night and all there was left was this thick layer of smoke. It was really quite disgusting. My mom who is a school teacher in SLC has not been able to let her kids go out at recess due to the bad air quality. I have to admit the sunsets over the west mountains are amazing with all the smog in the air. Another thing we noticed is that it was 12 degrees cooler in the valley then it was at the top of Soldier Summit which is 7477 ft, I think SLC is around 4500 ft. It was down right cold in the valley.
Well after we did our shopping, family mingling we came home it was amazing to watch the outside temp guage come up as went up Spanish Fork Canyon and continue to rise all the way to Moab. When we left Salt Lake it was 23 degrees at 12:00 pm when we arrived in Moab it was 48 degrees and sunnyat 3:30pm. I guess the whole reason for my blog today is if you need a little sun therapy and who doesnt, as well as a little peace and quiet come to and visit us in Moab. The restuarants are starting to reopen in anticipation of the half marathon coming up in March as well as Jeep Safari. Our town is perfect right town (in a Mayberry kind of way) and most of the trails are open. Remember to look at our internet specials link for discounted rates off our all ready great rates. When you book tell us you like our blog, or if we could be doing something better with our time.
