I believe this building is part of the Mormon Historic Museum with a fountain in front.

Stopped for the night at Button Point
We stayed last night at Button Point, a very nice rest area that is part of the California Trail.
Our "campsite" at Button Point
Button Point rest area had paved area for RV's and a dump station as you leave. Not even terrible road noise from the interstate. (Or maybe I'm just getting used to it?) :)

Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Since we were in Salt Lake City for Saturday..... Sunday we thought we'd experience the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Here iis a snippet of what we heard.

Traffic Jam in Utah!!
We were merrily traveling down I-70 and suddenly we are ay a stand still!!! Construction City!
Welcome to Utah!
We entered Utah. If you look at the sign behind the state sign, you'll see the elevation sign....4760 feet
Lunch in Glenwood Canyon
Yesterday, Thurs. April 24, we stopped for lunch along the Colorado River, near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Very nice rest area that was part of the 12.5 mile trail system along the Colorado River.
Leaving Colorado
After 3 plus hours spent seeing so much beauty around us....we crossed the Colorado border into Utah
Camp site at Colorado National Park
We drove through the campground and the sites seem decent with grill and picnic table. Good price of $.20
One of MANY tunnels in the park
STILL looks"Skinny" to me! I'm glad we left Harvey behind this first time so we could pull over and explore much easier at a moments notice. NEXT TIME we'll come and campout!
Photography trick
I was in the midst of taking a picture and somehow took this picture and thought it was unique. ..so I'm including this picture. Just don't ask the "Non-tech savvy" person that I am HOW I did it! :)
On Hwy 6 North to Provo
Much different terrain again and....LOTS of WIND!!! Headed back into the mountains
Entering Colorado National Monument
Didn't know what yo expect. ..just knew it rated 4.7 stars out of 5.
Back in the Mountains
Tonight we will probably stay in a Walmart parking lot in Orem, Utah, since we are traveling faster than planned. We have reservations for tomorrow night in Salt Lake City. So guess we'll see the State Capitol Building tomorrow and then Morman Tabernacle Choir Sunday before we leave!
Beautiful landscape
More of this magnificent National Park! We highly recommend this park..they do have a campground and found out that the center of the tunnels are actually 16 feet 1 inch! So our 12 ft 4 inch RV COULD have made it! Maybe next time we'll camp here! :)
"Hello to Harvey" way down below!
At one of the first view points, we looked down and saw our motorhome....Harvey. Right where we left him! :)
Oooops!
We are headed to Colorado National Monument with Harvey the RV (10 ft 8 in) and car in tow! Guess we have to leave Harvey behind!!!

Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas
When you get closer you see all the spray painted graffiti and artwork.
Clayton New Mexico RV
Good part: It is a pull-thru site with 50 amp....Otherwise it's very windy !!!
What????SNOW in New Mexico!!?
As soon as we crossed over the Texas border into New Mexico we see SNOW along the roadside!!
Welcome To New Mexico
Once we had Harvey The RV out of the "RV out patient" shop with a new coolant surge tank...we scooted out of town! Headed to New Mexico on our way to Colorado
Texas Buttes
We are traveling through the Texas panhandle where this part of the country is pretty rugged
NOW we're entering Texas! ;)
I messed up earlier by posting a picture of a water tower with name of Clinton on it...and claimed we were entering Texas then.
Entering Texas !
Due to the fact that we have a leak in our coolant surge tank, and although Filbert picked a replacement tank in Oklahoma City, no shop was able to get js in until sometime next week.....so we are headed to Amarillo, TX and was told by a shop there that they could get us in today. Let's hope! :) (Thinking of family...right Duane , Jan?)

Original Springs in Abita Springs, LA
This IS the actual location of THE Abita Springs. And yes I did fill up some gallon jugs with the spring water! It was very warm.
Entrance to Abita (pronounced Ah-Be-Tah) Springs RV
This park had a lot of family friendly activities. The company is set up to sell memberships for various parks in the SE. But not for us!
Abita Springs RV park, Abita Springs, LA
We stayed 3 nights here while we explored Baton Rouge and New Orleans
