We arrived in Provo today.  We left our home on August 1st bright and early in the morning.  We stayed at Baker City the first night and then on to Twin Falls, Idaho.  What a wonderful city.  We loved the impressive beauty of the Snake River Canyon and Shoshone Falls, the "Niagara of the West."

It reminded me so much of the basalt cliffs and majesty of the Columbia River.  We went down into the canyon to check out the golf course and watched about a dozen young people enjoying the zip-lines there.  It looked like so much fun.  I would have loved to have tried it..but not enough time. 





We attended the beautiful temple there.


What a wonderful way to start our Friday.  Today (Saturday) we made our final leg of this part of our journey. The travel was very uneventful until we hit the busy section of freeway that extends for some 60 or so miles on either end of SLC with no rest stops or easy pull-offs.   It was very stressful!  We're staying at the same RV park in Provo that we stayed at 4 years ago when we came down to BYU for education week.  It's very nice here and only about 15 minutes from the campus and MTC.  We decided to locate the MTC so that we don't get lost on Monday morning.  We finally found it.  Neither of our GPS's like the street names here with all the numbers. We didn't get totally lost but we did make several u-turns.  We went in and got our ID cards for our meals and our room.  We also found out where we'll be parking the 5th wheel for the next 2 weeks while we are in the MTC. We're so excited to begin!
