Aug 12 - 14 Salt Lake City, UT

Tues. Aug 12 Up very early to get to the airport by 7am. As we were checking we were told that Delta was asking for bumps because of the volcano delays. They would give all 4 of us vouchers good for a year plus guarantee seats on a flight 3 hours later. Needless to say we jumped on it; except for Kipp who was sort of dragged along with us. We had an extra three hours in the Anchorage airport which gave us the best view we had of Mt. McKinley the entire time we were in Alaska. Go fingure.This site shows live webcam so sometimes you can see it and sometimes not, but you can check out some older shots to get the idea. http://www.acsyellowpages.com/webcam/McKinley%20Cam/images/webcam02707.jpg
We arrived in SLC about 7pm local time. Early to bed for all of us, poor Kipp has to go to work in the am.

Wed. Aug. 13. Kipp went to work, Jeanne for her shot to help get rid of her bee sting allergies. Shep and I slept in a little and did some laundry. Jeanne returned to take us to lunch at the Dodo Reasturant. We then proceeded to the Utah Hands Gallery http://utahands.com/where we met with the artist, Wendy Newman, http://www.wendynewmanjewelry.com/whe showed me her newest works. I got to pick what I wanted in exchange for the things I had returned. What a treat. I also was able to find a wedding gift and a Christmas gift in the gallery. I am so excited and pleased with all my purchases.
We grabbed a couple of pizzas for dinner. Our next project was to move everything out of the little room so that carpet can be laid in the morning. we all collapsed early.

Thurs. Aug 14. We were up early to move the remaining furniture out of the room and make way for the workiers. On the road to Jackson by way of Logan Pass http://www.public-domain-photos.com/travel/montana/logan-pass-4.htm and Bear Lake.http://www.bearlake.com/
We arrived in Jackson about 4pm. When we entered the Fox the smell was horrific. Evidentally the fridge/freezer had stopped for some reason, there was propane, and everything had spoiled; tuna, shrimp, chicken, filets, bacon. Yuck!!I hope we are able to get the stink out of the freezer!!
