The weather was perfect for sleeping in and lazing about the next morning, as it had rained overnight. So we stayed at the rest stop, watching shows and hanging out inside. Lisette has been binge watching Borgen, a Danish political drama, since Utah, and has whizzed past the first 2 seasons (there are 4, and […]
Today was an extra special day, as it is Sheila's birthday! She turned 9 years-old, and while that's considered a senior dog, she is very much still our fur baby, with oodles of energy to hike and explore with us each day. In another 3 days, it'll be Sheila's 6 year adoption anniversary with us. […]
While we didn't have the best sleep parked in a petrol station frequented by truck drivers at all hours of the night (with many vehicles seeming to drive right alongside us), we hoisted ourselves out of bed to head over to Lava Hot Springs, where they have hot springs all year round, as well as […]
While there was nobody around us in the open space we chose to sleep overnight, we once again were near railroad tracks, and could hear trains honking overnight. We've slept near tracks many times already during this trip, but we're still baffled as to why trains blast their horns so loudly and frequently as they […]
After a sound sleep in Ashley National Forest, we made our way to Flaming Gorge National Recreational Area, which spans Utah and Wyoming. Flaming Gorge was given its name thanks to the vibrant red sandstone cliffs that surround the Green River (and yes, we'd imagine the river also got its name because of its color). […]
Dinosaur National Monument spans both Utah and Colorado, a vast site that includes mountains, desert and canyons flowing through the Green and Yampa Rivers. We entered the National Monument on the Utah side on a sunny and hot day. We had some immediate respite from the heat in the Quarry Visitor Center, the main visitor […]
We stayed overnight on Point of the Mountain, hoping that Michael would get one more morning flight in before we left Draper. Unfortunately, the morning was a bust, with the wind gusts too strong for anyone to be flying. So we packed up, feeling a bit sad to leave Salt Lake City/Draper behind after over […]
We'd already planned to spend about a week or so around Salt Lake City for Michael to get as much paragliding time, for Lisette to drop into a few dance classes, for us to relax, and to also take advantage of some bigger city offerings (such as Asian grocery stores, Thai restaurants, diverse food options, […]
After two relaxing but accomplished nights staying in Rollin Homes RV Park in Nephi, we continued north, with plans to go to the Camping World just south of Salt Lake City to repair our broken water pump. Visiting a Hare Krishna Temple First up was Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple, a Hare Krishna Temple in […]
After a sound night's sleep, we had planned to check out from Rollin' Homes RV Park today, but with the weather forecast showing scattered showers, we felt that today would be ideal to catch up on work and errands, and clean and organize our RV. Plus, so far this has been the cleanest, best maintained […]
