Day one of our 2011 road trip

Today was a complete travel day.  Got onto the Northbound 215 at precisely 8:00 this morning.  Traffic wasn't bad at all.  Unfortunately San Bernardino has so many parts of the 215 torn up for added construction, parts were pretty dicey.  At least from my point of view. 
Still hate going through Las Vegas!  Do people not realize that a 36 foot motorhome towing a car does not need room????????  Of course there was one truck driver who thought he needed parts of our lane too when we were beside him.  Argh!!!!!!!!!!
In all the trips though the Virgin River Gorge, we have never seen the river so full! It was actually full from bank to bank and running with small rapids.  Usually it is just a trickle of a creek.  It was really pretty.  We also have never seen so much snow in the Utah mountains.  Wow!  We are venturing to guess that there is so much that it won't completely melt before snow begins to fall in the winter.  Sure makes for beautiful scenery.
We drove 602 miles today and are spending the night in the East Bay RV Resort just outside of Provo, UT.  Wonder if Donny and Marie Osmond are home and would like some company?  What ya think?  I think Mike and I should just get some rest and head out to Teton, ID tomorrow for a much anticipated visit with my best friend and her hubby.  Haven't seen them in a very long time.
