What an adventure we had today. First off, we were just driving from Cedar City to Salina Utah and found more very impressive geological formations just by the side of an ordinary highway - not even in a National Park or State Park. Next we went to see the Art Robinson's personal collection of 65 restored old trucks. He started a trucking company in 1946 that pretty much focused on hauling coal and other heavy materials. He went blind a few years ago and died about 7 years ago; but he had a love for some of the old trucks and had one after another restored. We got a two and a half hour personal tour - unbelievable! Being nice really pays off.
And the photo above of Mom's Cafe duplicates a photo that appeared in the January 1996 National Geographic. The building was completed in 1878 and served as a mercantile for many years. For a very long time it has been recognized as one of those very special places to eat in America. It was so good that we ate there twice.
