More fun at home

Road Trip!
I'm kind of behind - sorry. In August, Kent and I did a road trip. It was the perfect trip - drive until we want to stop. Then sit/walk and enjoy the beauty of God's earth. These are all from Mirror Lake, in the Uintahs.






We walked all the way around the lake and saw so much "wonder". Kent has become a wildflower photographer and quite an expert on all the different kinds of flowers.

These are just a few of the many flowers we saw! 

 



 






Here are some of our other favorite things to do.

Look through binoculars:

Read under a pine tree:

 Have lunch surrounded by fresh air and pine scent:

This was our first day. We ended up in Evanston, Wyoming, where we spent the night.

Day 2 - Evanston to Vernal

After we left Evanston, we followed the Pioneer trail for awhile. We then went to a place called Sheep Creek Geological area and close by to Sheep Creek and Spirit Lake. It was beautiful! Our last leg to Vernal, took us through Ashley National Forest. Nature is good for the soul, isn't it??












I loved Main street in Vernal. It is so welcoming, don't you think?



End of day 2.

Day 3 - Vernal to Orem

Leaving Vernal we went west and then went off road up Rock Creek Rd to Upper Stillwater Reservoir. 

My happy driver. :)


I've never seen a dam from this perspective before. It was really impressive!!! 


Here's the top of the dam! We had lunch near here.

More off-roading up over the pass to Hannah












 

The sad part of this trip? It ended and we came back to sweltering heat in Orem. Love our road trips!!!
