Cleaning spark plugs

Cedar Breaks National Monument

Lodge north rim of the Grand Canyon

To all of you who have been following my blog' thank you for your support and interest. This will be my last posting until I return later this summer for a trip with the t to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park.

Yesterday we went to Cedar Breaks National Monument. The t struggled in the morning with a fouled spark plug. After a cleaning of the plug and leaning out of the carburetor it was smooth running. The day took us to an elevation of more than ten thousand feet.. More beautiful scenery! On the way back Frank had problem with his t's magneto and made it back to Kanab with difficulty. The problem seems to be with too much crankshaft end play.

Today we went with Frank and Vickie in their truck to the Grand Canyon. I will post the pictures. Words cannot describe what we saw. Tomorrow we will visit Zion National Park.

After our visit we will leave the canyon area and head for Salt Lake City where we will leave the t and fly home. What a great trip and adventure. Thanks John Mat Sperry and Ramona for making for such a unforgettable event.

The last couple of days have been filled with beautiful landscapes in southern Utah. Yesterday Ramona and I drove the t to Brice Canyon National Park. We took free shuttle buses to scenic overlooks at Brice point. Pictures are posted show Vickie and Frank Henderson with Ramona and I in the park. God certainly does beautiful work! To9day we went to a Utah state park Coral Dunes. This is a large expanse of pink colored sand. Several of the modelters walked barefooted in the sand. What fun. After leaving the park we traveled down a dirt road that led us into Arizona. More beautiful scenery to take in. The pictures will not do what we saw Justice. Our last stop of the day was in the national monument Pipe Springs. A Mormon outpost established in the late 1800's as a cattle ranch as well as a refuse for travelers. More to come.

Ramona and I have arrived in Kanab Utah. The trip from Salt Lake City was along scenic back roads. We passed a Mormon temple on the way to Richfield Utah. I'll try to post the pictures. As we drove down hwy 89 to Kanab we had to add clothing to keep warm. It was probably in the 50's. When we arrived in Kanab model ts were every where. We found Frank and Vickie Henderson at the motel. Later we found Rick and Amy Goeltz' Tonight we had a picnic at the park. There were about 200 ts there. What a sight. Tomorrow we will tour Brice Canyon National Park.

Another great day on the road. This morning Sperry and I left Heber City Utah. Our route by necessity took us into Salt Lake by way of I80. Our first stop took us to Scott Steven's mother and father's house. What a beautiful setting overlooking Salt Lake.

I took Scott's dad for a t ride thru the university of Utah campus and Medical center. I think he was impressed with how the t handeled the hills.

This afternoon after finding a motel room near the airport we went to the center of Salt lake City and toured temple square. We visited the Morman Tabernacle. We also visited the Union Pacific railroad station.
