Saturday - Sunday, May 3-4, 2014 (Salina, UT)

Yep, this morning when we woke up, we still weren't feeling like sticking around for another two days, so we walked down to the office to see about a refund.  Well yes, they will refund some of the money, they will keep $10 each day for a cancellation  fee, so we said yes, let's cancel.  Well that was an exercise in patience as the one office worker was new and didn't know how to do a refund, so we had to wait for the other office worker to finish a phone call and help us out.  Well after much confusion trying to figure out how to give us a refund the office worker thought she had it.  We'll see, I'll have to check our bank account and see if it all works out how it was suppose too.

We finally had the 5er packed up and ready to head out around 11:00 a.m.  that's late for us.  We decided to take the scenic route to our next destination in order to avoid going back through those two tunnels.  Well there was positive and negative about that decision.  The positive was that there was virtually next to no traffic.  I think we saw all of about two cars the whole time we were on the scenic part of the road.  The negative was that it was a rough old road with tons of cattle guards that we had to cross.  Poor Gracie was not too happy about the rough and somewhat curvy road.  Gracie rides in her crate between us when we are driving and we can always tell when we are on a curvy road because she starts panting alot.  Once we were back on the "main" highway, Rich asked me if I was glad we choose that road.  I have to say, all in all I was glad we took the scenic route, though there were a few times I did wonder what we had gotten ourselves into.

We arrived at Butch Cassidy Campground around 1:00 p.m.  I can't say that the campground is much to look at, but we both feel much better being here for some reason.

Here is a picture I took of some pretty red hills as we were getting close to Salina.

Sunday

Today we were going to attend the Faith Baptist Church in Salina.  We had two options, either attend a Mormon church or a Baptist church.  Salina is a very small quiet town, again with the nice big wide streets.  We had no trouble finding the church.  It was just a small but pretty little church.  The people were very friendly, the congregation was under 20 people with the pastors family being almost half of that.  They had six kids, 5 boys and 1 girl with another baby on the way.  The two oldest boys, who were twins we think and not much older than 10 yrs old, played the violin and chello while their mom played the piano.   The boys were all dressed in little suits and the little girl, she was probably only around 2-3 yrs old was dressed in an adorable little dress.  The kids were very well behaved during the 2 hour service, with only a couple little shhh's from their mom. 

After church we drove around the town a little bit just to check it out.  We've noticed these little towns are very clean and no sign of graffiti anywhere.  It looks like a good place to raise a family.

The afternoon was just spent relaxing and reading with a little walk around the campground for Gracie.  Tomorrow we will pack up and head down the road.  We've enjoyed our brief stay in Salina, which as a side note for all you ATV riders out there, this area is know for the ATV trails.  They have over a 1000 miles of trails in this area.  We did see several ATV's in the park but didn't talk to anyone who had actually done any riding.
