A descriptive look at traveling and full-timing with our second RV, a fifth wheel toyhauler.
Laura and Sasha started this adventure in April of 2005
for a two week vacation in a truck camper.
The Road Trip of 2009! Laura & Sasha's Excellent Adventure
The Next Adventure Begins!
Utah! Couple Days Doing Chores, Hiking, and Visiting Bo
Welcome to Utah!
October 20th, Tuesday, at Liberty, Utah
We arrived at Liberty around 2 pm and it
took us a little while to get the trailer in one place and
the camper in another. The driveway is very long and the
space up top is not quite circular, so there was a bunch of
back and forth to get to the trailer in place.

This was at a very scary house, there are spikes
on the fence. Looks abandoned, but maybe
not....ghosts? |

Bo and Laura at the overlook to Ogden Valley. If
you look really closely, you might be able to see
Great Salt Lake. And then Us and the Valley. |
 |
 |
We took a road trip after the hike down North
Ogden Canyon Road, so here is a view of that road.
|
 |
 |
The road that you see here is Powder Mountain
Road. We will take that road up on October 23 - NOT
in our rig but with Bo. |

October 22nd, Thursday: Doing chores:
Happijac, bank, Costco, grocery store
While we were doing chores, I did not take
any pictures per se, but when we were coming back from
Ogden, the views were so nice, decided to take some
pictures.

Leaving Ogden after a day of chores. Man, if you
lived out here, would you get used to this? The
rocks here are unbelievable! |

Getting ready to go up the Canyon Road
|
|
 |
Very wiggly road, I could only take a couple of
pictures even though we were not going very fast, it
is just hard to take pictures when the road curves. |
|
 |
OK, THIS is why we are not going to be here when
the snow flies - imagine putting snow tires or
chains on the trailer? |

Cool Sign! |

The dam for Pineview Reservoir. The water is low
for this time of the year. It will probably go lower
before it gets higher in the spring. |

October 23rd, Friday: Putting on spare tire
for trailer, getting trailer ready for travel, and taking
another hike, more like a road trip and sort of hike.

This is the road up to Powder Mountain. We did
not take our rig, but Bo drove his car. It is one of
the steepest roads in the USA. But it is state cared
for, so they have to plow it and maintain it. Bo
said that people have gone too fast on it and not
made the turns.
|
 |
Views from Powder Mountain, slightly hazy but
still awesome!
|
 |
Chair Lift of Powder Mountain, the sky was
absolutely awesome. We drove as close as we could
and then took a short steep walk up to the chairlift
and the lodge area. But the sky was so cool, and it
was a little cold up there.

Bo and I, Me a little cold, but you can see
Great Salt Lake in the way, way background.
Sasha and I - sun is setting, so makes for an
interesting picture. |

Sasha and the lift, look at the sky! |
October 24th, Saturday: Went down to
Antelope Island inside of Great Salt Lake. Had a very
enjoyable day hiking and checking out the scenery with all
the bison, deer, and a ranch to boot!

and the area smelled briny.

 |
We took an nice little hike down to the water to
check it out. Neither warm or cold, just smelled a
little funny. I don't know if I would want to go
here in the summer, there are briny flies all year
long. |
 |
Sasha and Great Salt Lake |
 |
A Bison taken from a safe distance away. |
 |
Causeway from the museum. They had a very nice
museum, I got a couple of postcards (have to find a
post office) and a geology book of Antelope Island. |
 |
Artistic Bison with Sasha. Pretty cool, the
holes were other bison. you could see through them
to see the Great Salt Lake. |
 |
There is a historical ranch also at the island,
where they raised cattle and sheep. They had a house
and bunk house, everything was open and available. |
 |
This was part of the sheep barn where they would
shear the sheep. |
 |
Bo and Sasha got a little closer to the bison,
closer than I would have liked, but here is a
picture of them (the bison). |
 |
After Antelope we went over to Snow Basin - just
took a picture. |
October 25th, Sunday: organizing like crazy,
did not go out but did watch the movie: The Great Outdoors
with John Candy and Dan Ackroyd. However, there was this
bird, if you know what it is, please send me an email using
the link below. Here are some pictures of it.
OK, most of the pictures are on the Road Trip 2009 and it's associated pages, Utah! and Idaho. So please check them out.
Check out the next month, November for what we were doing and expenses of November - that will be a doozy!
