Today we left Delta, having seen the area as much as we could. The fire is east of us about 10 miles around Oak City. They were evacuated for a few days, but I believe they were back home; but the BLM land is still smoldering, and smokey.
Last week, we took a ride through Oak City, and up to the campsite on BLM land. This is where the fire started a few days later. The wind has definitely been a factor with it spreading. We would have high winds starting about 10 am, and throughout the day.
Before we left yesterday, we went to the Cosmic Array Center. This is an international collaboration of universities and research institutes, including Russia, Korea, Japan, hosted by the University of Utah. They are studying ultra high energy cosmic rays. There is something in space, launching incredibly small particles with astounding levels of energy. These ultra high energy rays are essentially single protons, each one packing the punch of a world series fastball. They have not located the source, and that is the mystery….more information at www.telescopearray.org
Thanks to Day’s End, we found a great RV repair place in SLC, Bestway Camper and RV trailer repair. We needed a patch on our gray water, so tomorrow we will be off, good as new….
