Cedar City Utah

8/13/15 -  We had a great visit with our friends, Joi and Michael,  in Cedar City, Utah (pictured at Kolob Canyon).

They have a Classic Car Museum, with both old and new cars.  The building is about 33,000 sq ft and houses 4 showrooms.  Tom was in heaven!  I fell in love with the 56 Chevy 'Widowmaker'.  Then they took us to Kolob Canyon, which is the back side (and part of) Zion National Park.







Here are some of the cars:

Next was North Salt Lake - just an overnight - nothing to report. On to Rawlins, Wyoming. Ever since we left Salt Lake City and headed into Wyoming, we have been without cell service and NO INTERNET.  Seems Wyoming doesn't like T-Mobile.  I got on the phone with them, and they helped, but said we will not have good service until we get "out of the sticks".  Also, the A/C went out. Tom thinks it is the thermostat.  Called a repairman.  He came, but could not fix it.  Looks like the next dealer is all the way to Lincoln, NE without air -  UGH!  

 Missed my grandson's birthday today (8/12) -Happy Birthday Jake - He is made it to 9.

Today we are in  Kearney,  Nebraska.  Got the internet - called a Winnebago dealer in Jefferson, IA and they walked us through a reboot of the electrical system, and the A/C came on.   HOORAY!  Don't need a thermostat.  Tomorrow we will  take the Jeep to Nysted, Nebraska - the home of Fred Olsen, my great, great, grandfather, who  came to the US from Nysted, Denmark.  Hope to find out more there.  Dad, I will try to get a good picture for you.

That is all for now.  Will try to post every couple of days.  Miss you all.

    Loved seeing the picture of Joi - she's always been a favorite of mine. I'm surprised you were able to break Tom away from the cars - looks like he was in heaven. It was 104.5 here in Yucaipa yesterday (unbelievable heat). Dad and Liz are stopping by today on their way back from Glendora appointment - wish I could get them to stay with us where it's so-o-o much cooler :-)

    Jake got your message after we came home from dinner and had a huge smile on his face. I'm glad your air is fixed. School is going great for me and Jake. Love you!!!
