Next stop on Monday the 17th is in Salina, Utah. You'll want to book the room ASAP .

Best Western International Hotels - HOME

Click on the link. That is the Best Western home page. In the yellow block at the upper left hand area type in Salina for the city, Utah for the state. Set the check in date as September 17th and checkout date September 18th then click on "FIND HOTEL". On the next page that comes up click on "check availability" for the Best Western Shaheen Motel. On the next page under "Select Occupancy and Rates" set the number of rooms to 1, the guests per room as required (1 or 2), and select "best rate" for the "select rate plan" drop down menu. Then click on "view available rooms". On the next page click on the room desired under the "best rate". Either 2 queens, 1 king, or 2 queens smoking. There are only 5 smoking rooms. Price for 2 queens is $66.26 + taxes. Always try to get a 2-bed room as they are a little larger.

Now, the plan will be to leave Boise, ID and travel east on I-84 into Utah. I-84 and I-15 become one and within a few miles Hill Air Force Base Museum in Roy will be on the left of the freeway. Anticipate a stop there to view the aircraft, both inside and outside the building. Plan on 2 hours for the visit then on to Salina, Utah for the night. Depending on arrival time at the museum we could spend a little more time but we do want to get to the motel in Salina before dark. Route planning will be posted later beyond Hill AFB.

Route planning from Hill AFB museum: Mileage to Salina from Roy is 170 miles. Estimated time from MSN mapping, 2 hours, 34 minutes. Figure closer to 3 hours. We will have to go throught the menagerie of the greater Salt Lake City area. There is construction on I-15 through this area. Once clear of that mess we'll continue on I-15 south to exit 222. Take the exit to connect with state highway 28. Follow 28 to Salina, Utah. 28 and US 89 merge into one at Gunnison, UT. Continue south on 28/US89. Stop at Salina, Utah at Best Western for the night. Motel is at the south end of Salina close to I-70 freeway. Address of Best Western is 1225 S. State St. Fuel vehicles before check in.
