Montrose, CO to Manti, UT

Due to the high temps and late afternoon thunderstorms, our AIS was 6 am! We were fueled, prayed, and on the road at 6:01. Our first stop was Fruita, CO for Mike the Headless Chicken and a visit with the Byers and Summer-Leigh.

Wish there were photos of the scenery but Edie slept all afternoon and didn't get the photos from Donna & Tom, who actually took photos of the scenery. Perhaps you will see them tomorrow. The view is actually very nice, with lovely red rock formations.

We did stop in Salina, UT for lunch at Famous Mom's Cafe, the only place to eat in that town. Here's the special of the day.
This is a "scone" in this part of the country. It is deep fried and tastes like a donut. They served the same thing at our dinner place, as "bread" before dinner.

Here's a chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes with real gravy. You don't see this too often in CA.

The midnight and lace room at the Yardley Inn

Some took a walk around town, the big thing is the Temple. We just missed the Pageant, which is a big Mormon event they hold at Temples each year. It tells the story of the miracle of Joseph being given the tablets.
