"Under the Sea" Jeep, Salt Flats, Utah

So this is the car we saw at the Salt Flats Cafe! It looked like it had been left on the bottom of the sea for ages and was "crusted" with many different and quirky items! The Jeep was quite a hit! There were many people taking photo shots just like we were.

Some of the items used were: chop sticks, glue sticks, buttons, beads, old teapot, figurines, plates, spoons, crabs, skulls, shells, and many more! Have fun looking at the pictures!

So last week, on August 18th, I drove Katie back to Utah for school. I can't believe that she is already in her freshman year of college. Katie is attending the University of Utah and will be studying Art. I think she would like to teach art. Her high school art teacher, Mr. McCue, has been a fabulous mentor these past four years. He is a big part of her decision to study art in college. Katie has a passion about art, and I think she will do well.

There were a couple of fast and furious days of packing before we left! We took out the two middle seats of the van and put her bike in with all the others items around it. The trip was nice and uneventful, if you know what I mean. Elizabeth has taught us where there is some great, cheap food just east of Wendover. The Salt Flats Cafe. Take exit 4 on the Utah side and out in the middle of nowhere, you'll see a Sinclair gas station and the cafe is right there.

That day at the Salt Flats, there must have been some kind of driving event. All the cars in the parking lot were caked with salt! It looked like it was snow and there was a snowball fight in the parking lot! Except, it was about 95 degrees.

While we were there, we saw this amazing jeep. See my next post for those photos.
