Day thirty-seven, Brigham City, Utah

You may ask, rightly, what happened to day 36? It was mostly spent on the road, headed towards home. We started the day at the South Rim saying goodbye to our caravan group, then the next five hours driving to Beaver, Utah. No pictures of the festivities, but a nice parking space for the RV, Dole Whip at the burger bar, and a refresh of our cheese supply at the Creamery.

More driving today, back to Brigham City. We arrived mid-day, had lunch, then took a drive to one more national monument, the Golden Spike NM. I do like a good railroad museum, and this one was a lot of fun. We got to watch them run up one of the replica locomotives. A steam locomotive makes such wonderful sounds…

So, tomorrow it’s off for home. We’ll make a quick stop in Rupert to reconnoiter a fabric store, then westbound we will go.

Really a cute downtown
Like I said, i love steam trains
The park does a nice job of restaging the scene of driving the Golden Spike
Not all park rangers get to wear green uniforms with a Stetson
