We left Bridgeport CA last Sunday and now we are in Idaho. We traveled through Nevada and Utah this past week. Our plan was to spend some time in Southern Utah and then move into the Salt Lake area for another couple of weeks. That didn't happen.... We arrived in St. George Utah on Monday afternoon - it was 102. I had checked the weather a few days before and it had been in the 80's. Unfortunately it got hot before we could get there.
We braved the heat and went into Zion National Park on Tuesday. I have not been to Utah before and I really didn't know what to expect. The mountains in Southern Utah are different than any I have ever seen before.
We enjoyed what we saw, but we decided that we will come back to Utah in the Fall and enjoy this area when the weather is better.
Jon and I ate dinner at the Cracker Barrel in St. George. I would like to say thank you to our server Beki who kept my ice tea glass full and brought me gravy on the side.
I used to eat at Cracker Barrel in Alma Arkansas when I lived there years ago when my kids were young. Both of my kids are grown and both are closer to 30 than 20.... (wow you two are getting old) But having a meal at Cracker Barrel made me think of a time in my life that is gone but will always be special. It was like going home after being gone for years. I miss my kids, but I am so glad that they are happy and living their lives and following their dreams.
The RV Park where we stayed was close to an old settlement from the 1850's - Jon took some shots of the remains.
Utah is clean and the people are friendly. We enjoyed our brief time in the state, and are looking forward to coming back and spending more time.
Our plan now is to stay in the Idaho Falls area for a week and then move into Yellowstone. We are going to do some motorcycle rides, check out the Grand Tetons and see if we can take our big 5th Wheel into Yellowstone. Looking forward to spending some time in Idaho and Wyoming.
