5.07.19-Tripping to Heber, UT

.What a beautiful day for taking a trip. The coach is humming away so nicely. We’re still plague with a problem with our two slides, but hopefully that will be resolved in a few weeks.


The purpose for this picture is two-fold. One for the beauty of these huge hills and mountains and second for the reader to visualize the height of these structures by viewing the car on the road in the bottom center portion of the picture, both above and below.

I cannot imagine the millions of yeas it too to create the rock structure above. Below are twin tunnels for the railroad to get from one side of the mountain to the other. We will see these tunnels in several locations. In a few pictures you’ll see twin tunnels for the cars.

We’re currently at the seven-thousand foot elevation, and therefore we find snow venues. The mountains well covered in snow are at the 12,000 foot elevation. Nice try for the wind-turbines but they’re not going around very fast. They do come with brakes to prevent them from moving to fast, but the turbines here are barely moving. They’re brakes should never wear out at this speed.

We’re just entering the town of Provo. This is also the home of Brigham Young U. We’re about thirty-miles from Heber. This is one very awesome town very similar to El Paso, TX. Every franchise is represented here. Heber is not nearly this big, but it is growing fast.

I believe this is the Bingham Young University stadium. Below is the Bald Knoll Mountain range elevation over ten-thousand feet. This mountain rang can be seen from everywhere.

.
.Above is the Bridal Vail Waterfalls just outside of the town of Provo.. This is an attraction we would normally take time to visit but now, having seen it from the road, we can just take credit for it. Below are the twin auto-tunnels I mentioned earlier.

.I believe this is the Provo Lake Reservoir, a really huge lake.
