Resort at Wolf Creek Eden

... water you can't put both your hands and feet above the water to stay afloat, but here you can. It's also quite disgusting, bugs and all kinds of weird things floating on the water, and you can feel the salt. When we got out it dried and we were encrusted with salt.

We swam to a little island. I thought it would be fun to swim there and explore a bit. Well, we got there and immediately I stepped into a ...

On the road this morning again after losing an hour yesterday since we are now in Mountain time. Terry made a remark to the campground owner about some places being green and he said something about having plenty of water. After crossing the Snake River for the second time and know that it was also at Yellowstone I did a Google search…thank goodness for iphones. It seems that the Snake River Plain has the largest aquifier in the world and it ...

We drove all over around Idaho Falls and didn't find any potatoes to buy. We are a little early, the potatoes are not ready to did yet. We drove from Idaho Falls to just north of Salt Lake City. As we drove from Idaho Falls, we drove through what is called "Hell's Half Acre". It is a lava flow from thousands of years ago. We have slowed down and are not making as many miles per day. We finally found some fresh brewed ice tea here at Salt Lake City. Today we drove around the ...

... without computers or just too lazy to set them up (not mentioning any names but you know who you are)? Oh, that's a big YES on both questions!! What the F***? "We never read the update, just looked at the pictures". Thought I was a player in Gorillas in the Mist (quit laughing Rik). Hey I really love each and every one of you, but even I get tired of telling the story of where, what, when, who and how over and over again. So you ...

I went to the Peruvian Festival for an assignment for my radio journalism class. This is only the 2nd year it's been held. When I interviewed one man he told me some good food at the festival was cow heart. Cow heart? I'm not sure if he was joking or serious! There were some good performances, Chile and some other countries were represented as well.

Several celebrations marked the 80th anniversary of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's weekly broadcast, Music and the Spoken Word. On Wednesday, July 15--the exact day 80 years ago of the first broadcast--the Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square performed a concert at the Dee Events Center in Ogden, Utah. Dubbed the "8th stop" of their recently concluded Central States Tour, the concert was also a celebration of the ...

... went swimming...pool isn't heated. Sounded like caracas when they got out.

Ok...on to Yellowstone tomorrow.

The Brigham KOA is a country version of a regular one. Very laidback with a country kind of charm to it. Kids are having fun anyways. They were all very good ...

... shrimp, brine flies, and algae can live and grow in the lake. The brine shrimp and brine flies survive on the algae and the many migrating birds surive on the shrimp and flies.

Water comes into the lake from four rivers. It doesn't have an outlet, the water only leaves the lake because of evaporation.

There are eight major islands in the lake - Antelope Island, Stansbury, Fremont, Carrington ...

It's a holiday in Utah It's tough kid, but it's life It's a holiday in Utah Don't forget to pack a ... Day 1 - over 800 miles Up early, a quick coffee and caught the 5:20 boat to Seattle.

Crossed the Columbia while it was still morning and arrived in Boise by 3:00 for a late lunch. Checked out ...

Upon visiting her former school, Zoë stated, "They may have taken my money, but they will never take my freedom!!!"....but I digress.
