Yesterday, on our way to CA, we viewed the marvels of God's creation from above the clouds. We commented on how neat it was to see the tops of the mountains poking thru the clouds. Well...because of dense fog at the Sale Lake airport and not enough fuel to circle for awhile....we diverted to Twin Falls Idaho, a VERY SMALL airport.   Meanwhile our flight crew "timed out" which means in their words....NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE!! Didn't matter where you were headed or how angry you got or what you were going to miss or even if you were a grown man and cried!!

Leaving out lots of funny details.....two hours later two huge coach busses arrived to take us to Salt Lake City airport.  SO.....we got to see Gods marvelous creation, again, this time close up.  And it was still truly beautiful and amazing.

The pilot said.  at first, that it was a two maybe 2.5 hr trip.  The bus driver said 4 hrs and he was right. The bus kept overheating going up those passes.  But we made it safe and are thankful.

We occupied ourselves by listening to the Gettys and finding out if you have the free version of Scrabble you can only play if you have I internet.
