(Day 582 TB) 43°F. 7:11 am, sunny
Overnighting in s parking lot
Awaken by the sunlight, walk into the d-mart and purchase a block of ice, repack my cooler and then drive across the street to the w-mart for coffee.
Like yesterday, I work in Quire Six and get close to finishing chapter 31, but at five, I pack out and begin my drive to Qgden, Utah so I may attend the 2017 Don′t Give Up regional convention for my second time.
Leaving Rock Springs, I travel west on IH 80 right to the southeast corner of Wyoming, cross into Utah and after thirty miles turn northeast on IH 84, a section of the interstate highway system I have never driven upon and is it a treat because the roadway and railway both run along the Weber River canyon which is nothing less than beautiful and like the Glenwood Canyon on IH 70 near Glenwood Springs, both of which I now want to add to my index of
Canyons in Utah.
The canyon is named for fur trapper, John Henry Weber and the river of the same name flows west from the Wasatch range to the Great Salt Lake. At one big turn in the canyon, just above Morgan, Utah I stop to photograph the Devil′s Slide.
This is an unusual geological formation of two parallel limestone layers which have been tilted vertical, protrude out of the mountain some forty feet with the intervening layer having eroded to form a channel twenty-five feet wide running the length of the Devils slide.
