Jun 12, 2013 - Jackson, WY to Deer Valley, UT

Had an amazing dinner at Rendevous Bistro in Jackson. They are not listed with all of the restuarants but had been recommended to us by a winbe merchant 2 years ago. I had the tuna tartar and Bob had an oyster salad appetizer. I followed with line caught swordfish over fresh corn, red shrimp, applewood bacon, basil butter and charred lemon vinaigrette. Bob had duck confit. Limited but good wine list. Awoke to drizzle. Today is a travel day to Heber City, UT primarily on 2 lane roads through the various mountains. Our main route is HWY 89....

Apr 23, 2013 - Heber City

It was one of the coldest nights we have experienced. We are not hooked up to electricity so have no heaters. It was 24 degrees so decided to shower and get dressed in the house! Mark and Eileen went off to yoga and work out. Bob and I showered and caught up on email. Before we knew it, we were off to our favorite past time. Eating! Went to a wonderful Italian restaurant in a residential area, Sea Salt. The boys had very interesting pasta dishes, Eileen had cod with peas and fava bean risotto. I had a Cobb Italiana with wonderful different...

Apr 22, 2013 - Wendover to Heber City, UT

Our first night in the rig was just fine! We both showered (Bob still complains about the stall and water that hits him at his navel). Very nice but cool morning. Had breakfast and hit the road about 9:00. Scenery was more of the same until we crossed the Great Salt Lake Desert where we saw the salt mills and flats. As we approached Salt Lake the snow covered Wasatch National Forest was a dramatic background. We have been to Salt Lake several times buy never tire of the very neat, clean city. We parked not too far from Temple Square and...

Apr 22, 2013 - Heber City

Learning to entertain myself while Bob sleeps in. Discovered that I now can do all of my exercises in the rig. Was snowing which made me be creative! Had a casual breakfast of coffee, cereal, fruit and yogurt while we continued our chatter. Decided that with the snow and wind that we would save Red Butte Gardens for tomorrow when the weather will be hopefully a little nicer. Ran a couple errands and then took a tour of Park City. The streets were desolate and many of the shops/restaurants were closed for maintenance. Had a nice walk through...

May 31, 2010 - Jordonelle State Park UT

It was a short drive to Jordonelle State Park. The hillsides alternate between lush green and rock cliffs. While driving around one day we got a glimpse of the deer, just downhill from a subdivision. It didn't seem to be too scared of us. The weather has improved. We have finally been able to sit outside without coats. The wind across the lake is cool but not too bad. We have been able to grill a couple of steaks.

Jun 30, 2009 - Wasatch Mountains Days 1 and 2

Hi Everyone: Here's another double entry day but to get Internet access we've been sitting in a breakfast cafe in Heber City for the past 2 hours. We've have a fantastic breakfast (definitely not heart healthy), paid our bills online and are sending out two Updates to keep you guys informed. We left Provo, passing Brigham Young University. As most of you know he (B.Y.) was the religious pioneer who fled the East in search of the "Promised Land". In Salt Lake City, he founded the Mormon Church of which some sects still practice the rule of...

Apr 14, 2009 - Snyder Family in Heber City, Utah

We arrived at Jeff & Sookie's in Heber City, Utah on the 14th of April. It was so wonderful to be able to have six days with them. We could not believe how much the grandkids, Noah (11) and Lauren (4) had grown since last summer. The weather was a little wintry on a couple of days and we were able to visit Park City where a portion of the 2002 Olympics were held. This was definitely a skiing area. On Friday we drove to see the Great Salt Lake (much bigger than we had ever thought) and the temple square in Salt Lake (how beautiful). Then we...

Aug 12, 2008 - Montpelier, ID KOA to Heber City UT

Today was sheet washing day and grocery store stop so our departure was usual. We also stopped at a visitor center called the Oregon to California Trail Center in Montpelier, ID. It commemorates those who traveled and stayed in Montpelier on their way to California via Oregon. Dad and I went inside and were greeted by a volunteer that kept us in stiches with stories. After obtaining a few phamplets we were off heading east and south for our next sight Bryce then Grand Canyon. We passed through Paris, ID which boasts about the Paris...

Jan 2, 2005 - Park City

Nevada is a very strange state. Once east of Reno, Tom and I saw a huge billboard that was adorned with a skull and crossbones, reading: "Hot Springs on Public Land: Stay Out, Stay Alive" Apparently I-80 drives fairly close to the government testing grounds and military ranges. Our stops at gas stations made me wonder if the water in the hot springs wasn't the only thing... We did, however, drive through the town voted by the Washigton Post as the "Armpit of America". The town had devoted a billboard to bragging about their title; we...
