While in SLC, Don and Rick went for a long hike. I spent the day with Rick's former wife. We had a great time visiting and going to quilt shops. Glad that it worked to reconnect.
On our way to Twin Falls, we stopped at Promotory Point where they drove the golden spike when the transcontinnetal railroad was complete. You can still see the grades that were made on the hillside.
Close to that is Thiakole where they make rocket fuel and the booster rockets. Out in front of the buildings is a good sized display of rocket and missles. They have the booster from the space shuttle. According to the info to read, when those boosters are recovered they come to this facility to be refurbished for the next launch. Quite interesting--I didn't know it was there.
We met Maggie for dinner then opted to stay at her house. Enjoyed catching up. She is one of those people that I can visit with and it as if no time has passed since the last visit.
Today we drove to Grangeville for the night. Don went for a run and I met with Susie who I worked with during our 4-H years. We chatted up a storm!!
Tomorrow we are having lunch with Prairie friends then on to Ferdinands for a large cheese order. I say we will go straight home; Don says we will go part way. Any bets?
