Monday 6th April 1998
Salt Lake City

The adult males were driven out to the Salt
Lake City airport by Joseph Maere to collect
Jesse’s lost travel documents (passport & flight
tickets) which were arriving on the 9:30am flight
from Hawaii. The replacement of such documents
would have proved exceedingly arduous.
From there it was on to confirm that the bus
was booked for the long trip south tomorrow. The
company was Casino Caravans. The bus hired was
a 46-seater with toilet and three video screens. The
cost was US$1,050.00 for the trip to Boulder City
(and back empty).
Many of the group ran into each other on
Temple Square (mainly all the girls with the boys
still off in the mountains) where a large number of
photographs were taken.

The group went up onto the 26th floor of the
Church Office Building and out onto the
observation decks to have an elevated look over
the City.
Rihi Mita-Watene turned up sporting a
bright orange back-pack in the shape of the
character ‘Tigger” from Winnie The Pooh.
Isaac and Jesse’s snow mobiling earned
Isaac a sore shoulder as he tumbled off, but
nothing that prevented him enjoying the day.
Richard, Sandy and Joseph headed out to
Highland High School in cold and blustery
weather to see part of Highland’s 66-0 win over
Sacramento High. Highland play in an all black
strip and were just too good for the visiting
opposition side.
