Day 76-Finish - Salt Lake City, UT

This post will be "ex post facto" as we have already arrived home. However, I did want to close out this blog with two final photos.

One of our return nights was spent in Salt Lake City, UT. When we checked in at the campground, the attendant mentioned that there was an open rehearsal of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir that evening at the new Events Center in Temple Square. So we had dinner at the trendy new shopping plaza at the old downtown railroad station, and then walked over to the Event Center.

The Center is HUGE - it seats 21,000 people and is just beautiful. We stayed for three or four numbers being rehearsed, and it was great to hear this choir with their distinctive, organ-like smooth sound. We also got to hear the huge organ. The choir has an open rehearsal every Thursday evening for the Sunday radio broadcast.

Pictured here are the choir and a photo of the interior of the Event Center. This photo does not do justice to this space - the size is difficult to capture with a standard camera, but perhaps you get the idea.

We arrived home on Saturday, August 5th. It's been a hot summer in Santa Rosa as well as everywhere else in the U.S., but everything looked OK, both inside and out. Had a little "hiccup" with the dishwasher, but it turned out to be a clogged filter, and we soon had that going again.

Nice to be home, but it was a great trip!

Oh, by the way, we came home with some problems with the RV: the front rooftop AC is not working; the refrigerator may still have a problem running on electricity (although we are not sure but what the problem we had at the start of the trip wasn't an anomaly); & Gary has already fixed a broken drawer slide. The largest thing looming is a fuel leak which could be a really expensive fix, or something not so huge. Since this is the last post to this blog, if you want to find out what the fuel leak problem turned out to be, e-mail or call us and we'll tell you!

Until the next trip, goodbye for now! Thanks again to all who made our trip so special!
