Day 21 - the actual day 21

Somewhere in Phoenix, I lost track of days, but today actually is day 21 and it is a travel day.

Piute County, Utah

Snow up on the mountains.

We spent over three hours trying to find an RV park near Yellowstone last night.  Most places are already booked for the long holiday weekend and /or they are in the $80/night range!!  Ken found one near Henrys Lake, ID which is about thirty minutes from the west entrance to Yellowstone.  We might not make Grand Teton due to the camping situation, but we will see. Right now, we are headed north on US-89 and in Salina, UT we will get onto I-15N and ride that up through Salt Lake City and into Idaho.  We hadn't planned on Idaho, but, it looks like we will be adding it to our map afterall.

US-89 is a good two lane road and a beautiful scenic route with a great view of the Rockies.

US-89 near Big Rock Candy Mtn.

Traveling I-15N toward Salt Lake City, and the signs that we are in Mormon country evident everywhere! A small Young Living Family Farm field of lavender lies only a few yards from the interstate, Marriott, Amway, doTERRA, towering white Temples, Brigham Young University, and more prove the stronghold of the LDS and their success in business in this area.  Scrapbook businesses such as Creating Keepsakes, ProvoCraft and WeRMemory Makers are here as well.

Passing by the Great Salt Lake and nearby Promontory Point was a good teaching moment.

The scenery changes again as we approach the Utah-Idaho border and grasslands and farms replace the scrubby bushes and cattle ranches.

Potatoes, anyone?

We are an hour from the campground and I still have cell service, so I will post this as I am able.  The campground does not have wifi and cell service is spotty at best inside Yellowstone, to my knowledge. We plan to stay at Jared's Wild Rose Resort RV park through next Tuesday.
