The Road West part 03: UTAH FINALLY!
Monday Dec 11: Denver, Colorado--------> Salt Lake City, Utah (appx 8 hours)
All I have to say about the drive from Denver to Salt Lake City is it's windy and boring as heck... the terrain is amazing though. I took 80West through Wyoming because I didn't want to deal with 70West which is the mountain pass. The wind was so strong that I had a hard time just staying in the lane I chose to drive in. I have never seen country side like it though, flat plateaus, rock formations, cowboy looking country. It was amazing, just long.
I cried a tear of joy when I crossed the border into Utah. I have been wanting to move here for years. The sign said "Welcome to Utah" and had a skier on it cutting through some powder. Immediately I was in mountains. I even saw a small herd of pronghorn. I stopped at a rest stop to fill up my water bottle and the land around me was just plain breathtaking. The rocks are so red that the mountains look like they are bleeding. I'm sitting here sick as a dog with a headcold but its snowing out and its so beautiful I couldn't be happier. Utah is glorious. I haven't felt so at peace in a long time.
When I got in I made it to my new place without a problem. It's not far from the highway. I met my new room mate Jenee and we moved some of my stuff in. I slept on the floor that night, deciding to pack later. Thank GOD for Utah. This place is amazing. I live in a neighborhood in east salt lake called Sugar House. More on that later.
I made it safely and soundly. Long drive though. I think Alaska is happy to be off the road, the poor cat. I am too. I can't believe I'm finally here. Praise God.
We could be closer than you know,
