This fine (well, wet and rainy, mostly) New Year’s Day we departed from /\/\onTana! on our almost annual trip to snowbird in Arizona. I previously took the trailer down because we were worried about inclement weather…most forecasts showed LOTS of snow, which has not, as of today, arrived. They did not show the big windstorms from a week or two ago…
Anyway, we are packed to the hilt or thereabouts in our new Subaru Forester!
We quickly (about four and a half hours) crossed into Idaho.
There on top of Monida Pass, where the border is, is also this old highway bridge from before the Interstate. It is still in frontage road use over the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
It pretty much rained all day, and part of tonight. It is suppose to be mostly sunny tomorrow. (Photo by the Dailylife Wife!)
While it is less here, once we got refueled a couple of times our average mileage and the range went up a lot. We were geting about 31.5MPG through Salt Lake City.
Another border!
We rolled into Springville, which is a suburb of Provo, Utah, a couple minutes past 5pm. We left our house and hit 10th Avenue South right at 7:30am, which is making pretty good time for 619 miles. The drive through SLC wasn’t too bad. There were a fair number of cars, but relatively few trucks, and it was a nice drive even though it was raining. It stopped a bit after we cleared the southern edge of SLC. After checking in we went to dinner!
The food was great, but they are understaffed and it took a while to get seated. Service was fast after that.
All in all it wasn’t too bad of a day to start 2026! I hope your’s was a well!
Tomorrow: On The Road To Kingman, Arizona!
