Best Western Motor Inn Delta

Saturday:<br> Well, I had very little sleep last night due to my GMT time. I was tired and could have slept at 9pm (6am GMT), but I waited up for Maren to come in from work, as I thought it would be rude if she is putting me up and I am in bed when she gets home on my first night. So I ended up passing my tired stage and couldn't sleep till about midnight. Then I was wide awake by 5am. <br> Anyway, this morning it started snowing and within a few minutes it turned into a snow blizzard. They ...

So after a cold morning filling ourselves with extremely delicious hashbrowns and eggs (and onion, and tomato, and avocado slices- to answer any questions as to whether or not we are eating well) we decided to hit the road towards some hot springs that we had heard about. Thinking of taking the straightest route, we decided to hit route 29 to get there. It looked like a small road, but the sun was shining and we were ...

... they promise that there is about a year's worth of great bouldering routes.<br>Wow! Nathan and his friends not only brought us to an amazing bouldering area that we would never have gone to on our own, but they practically gave us a guided tour, going from area to area with us and pointing out the best routes and ways to go about them, all on delicious sandstone that really sticks to your fingers. As ...

... Autumn! The golds and reds hurt your eyes they're so bright, not freeze-dried like ours at home. They didn't have that single digit stuff we had obviously--it's full blown, walk-about-in-shirtsleeves fall here.<br>The place where we're staying is in a beautiful setting right on the banks of the Provo river with a great little river walk amongst the trees. It couldn't be more picturesque. We had a lovely--simply lovely--walk this ...

My dad and I went mountain biking at Sundance. This is my third entry from here, I have a previous one from winter and one from summer. I know, boring, same place three times. This is the best time of year for mountain ...

... plates fastened like flattened clamshells, often with stalactites and draperies hanging from the lower plate. <br><br>After the cave tour we drove the scenic road up Wheeler Peak, from 6825 feet elevation to over 10,000 feet in just 12 miles. From the parking lot at Wheeler Peak Campground, we hiked about 1.5 miles each way (with another 600 foot elevation change) to the Bristlecone Pine Grove. These trees on the edge of the tree line are the oldest ...

... to take another visit back to the dunes, and I do really like to drive the four wheeler up and down huge sand dunes! We stayed 2 nights, and both nights there were some great sunsets. Weather was warm and nice, and it was a good time...quite an interesting place.

... inhabited and there's actually parking at the trailhead. From Diamond Fork canyon, you have to park a half mile down a narrow road to the trailhead. Perhaps the lack of parking at the trailhead and information there is part of a general dissuasion technique, who knows. If you enjoy a quiet moment of solitude at these springs, go on a weekday. Last summer we were there by ourselves - there are atleast ...

... Washington DC in just under 44 hours. Although we were no Lewis and Clark, the overwhelming sense of satisfaction of having crossed a continent from one edge to the other still prevailed. But it was crossing the continent slowly on our return trip - meandering from east to west and without the hyper-speed and super-efficiency which we required on our first trip across - that ended up taking on the most meaning. We took our time traveling back, winding through the Appalachians ...

Wow... To preface this blog: 1. Utah has the highest suicide rate of any state in the Union. 2. If you are from Utah or Nevada and/or really are passionate about how nice those states are... don't read this! At about 6am we left Santa Rosa and i cozied up in the back of our new Hyundai Sonata and started my 6 hr nap. Awoken from breakfast in a loveley, errrrr... well, small town in nevada. I had steak and eggs, bad move, bad move... I wish i had taken a ...
