Marty,


As to the trip, before you leave Oregon, about Exit 302 on 84 S, up and toward your l0 o'clock is the Oregon Trail Museum. It is definately worth a stop if you haven't been there. If you enjoy history, it could take you half a day there. And remember, you are going to cover in 6 hours, what the pioneers did in 3 months.

Headed SE on 82, first town in Utah is Snowville, then after you breakout of the big hills, and see the Wasatch on your left, take the exit to Tremonton, go east across the tracks and turn south toward Honeyville. There is a very adequate hotsprings "spa" there. Crystal Springs rings a bell, but I may be wrong on that name. Great place to unwind after the long trek through the desert.

As to eats, I only did truck stop stuff when I was running down there.

Harvey- We took your advice and today spent several hours at the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Wow! What a truly wonderful place. To think that without your recommendation we would have just kept moving down the hwy. It is so well done and in such an awesome location. Dotty and I just want to say thanks to you for making this first day of our trip so enjoyable and informative. Rest assured we will stop in Crystal Springs on the way home from Moab.
 
I'll second the Moab Diner. It's cheap and has good breakfast food, but don't try to go on a Sunday. I imagine you're in Moab now...have fun, it sure is a beautiful place. And happy anniversary!
 
Yes, we are here. It has been and is great. Yesterday on arrival we went to the Moab Diner and I had green chili. It was the equal of that of my Albuquerque relative's chili and that's saying something. This AM we took a jetboat ride down the river. The beauty around us was almost too much to take in. I could go into detail, but I think that sums it up. Tonight it's a "cowboy dinner" and then another boat trip called "Canyonlands by night". The people ("the locals" they call themselves) have been just great. When we leave Moab we will head back on I-70 and be sure and stop in Salinas for chicken fried steak as Warren suggested. By the way, by pulling off into the small (and I mean small) towns along the way we have met some beautiful people, seen some great sites, heard some tall stories, and found some excellent coffee and pie. Thanks to all for the help. You, and Suzie our gps, and some books on CD, have made this trip a breeze. Thanks again. dotnmarty
 
Sounds great! BTW, it is "Salina" not "Salinas" and the "i" is long "Suh - line - uh."

Thanks Pat- Had lunch today in beautiful downtown Salina, at Mom's diner. We weren't hungry enough for the chicken fried steak, but what we had was very good. Hit some bad weather crossing the pass just before Salina, saw a few cars in the median on I-70. Also saw a sign to Richland when on US 50. I waved. Wearing my Snoqualmie Brewery t-shirt today. I used to have one with the big logo on the back and I loved it. This one just has the little logo over my heart.
