San Jose to Salt Lake City and a Trip Through the Utah Mountains

A change of scenery and climate today as we flew from San Jose to Salt Lake City where we were met by Carlo and Sidne . They decided we would go to Mendon through the mountain route and visit Carlo's sister Vickie in Kamas on the way. There is still a lot of snow on the mountains and the ski season will finish after this Easter weekend. This is near Park City. 
In Kamas we visited Vickie who lives in a log cabin and this is the view from the house.
Gaye with Vickie outside her log cabin. Her husband John Singer build this house 60 years ago with his own hands and without the use of any power tools. He was shot dead by the police in the 70s during an attempt to arrest him for home schooling his children. There is a book called Death of an American about the whole story. A very interesting read.

 The broad band up here in Mendon is not good so I have had to restrict the number of photos in my blog. This is Sidne, Carlo, Gaye, and Vickie.
