This day needs 2 posts. Just a few pictures of the snowy June in Utah. And dinner. The best salmon this side of the country. I may be a tad biased since it was the hottest food in a 10 mile…

Yes. I went there. Cue the music and sing along. Because THIS happened. The day started off with a trip to the metropolis of Kamas UT for bait. We had some fun at the Ace Hardware. But they probably won’t let…

Brrr. If we didn’t have this tent and sub-0 sleeping bag, I would be in a Motel 6 by now. I love camping and all that jazz but frigid is seriously not cool in June. We got and got the fire…

Sunday After a quick breakfast on the road we started the drive towards the next camp site. For this trip we are alternating camping with condo. First round is camping in high elevation. That might be a bad idea…. Anyway breakfast…

After 20 hours of driving, many stops for gas and coffee, plains, hills, storms, and roadkill, we finally made it back to Colorado. This is our 6th summer here and I hope the time passes SLOWLY. I need this big reset…
