Wasatch Mountains - September 3, 2015
Today, since I was at leisure with no appointments, after doing my laundry etc, I returned to yesterday's coffee shop, where I had a great lunch, The owner welcomed me back, recalling that I was there yesterday with the Presbyterian minister. At her suggestion, I took a rather long but extremely beautiful ride down a road labelled "Scenic Byway" leading out of Wyoming and into the Wasatch National Forest just across the border in Utah. Stunningly beautiful mountains - all different. I am not tired of seeing them. I returned to Evanston on a section of I-80 that should itself be labelled scenic. Gorgeous is what it was.
Here are a couple of pictures, very inadequate, but to give you a flavor. Tomorrow I head north, toward Wyoming's treasures - Jackson Hole, The Grand Tetons, and Yellowstone - where things get more crowded and more expensive! The Presbyterian church at Thayne is my first stop.
It's at this point I want to remind you what you said when I showed you my very first grade in a college class, a history class paper from an Etown course, a B. "Were I to have graded this," you said so memorably, "I'd have given you an F for the horrendous spelling errors indicating you hadn't read over the paper once before handing it in." (For the record, I forgot the c in De Tocqueville a couple of times.)
