Moving on north

 We're now in the small town of Heyburn (or is it Burley?) Idaho for just one overnight.   Heyburn Riverside RV Park is a small city owned rv park that is just delightful, just what we needed after the busy, busy KOA in Salt Lake City.   It backs up to a green municipal park along the banks of the full Snake River and this little campground is green and well spaced with a very friendly camp host.  The reservation process is a bit odd - first going through the camphost (who knows what is what) and then paying on-line on a city owned and run website.   After all is paid and confirmed, one has to either text or email the camp host to confirm payment.....odd, but doable.    

Back to Salt Lake City......we left Cedar City and took I-15 north on Saturday.    We ran through some interesting weather and through a significant, but short, rain/wind storm near Mona, Utah.

The ominous looking storm didn't turn out to be much, and it really just made Beluga and Rocky dirty.

We made our stop in Salt Lake City to visit with old friends Jack and Marilyn.     They live in a beautiful little jewel box of a house on a leafy green street.

Sunday afternoon we went to the house and had lunch.   We haven't seen each other for a few years and had lots to talk about.   Dave and Jack have quite a business history together and, with the past year's Covid isolation, we found ourselves talking and talking and talking about everything and nothing.   It was a wonderful afternoon, the time flew by.

Monday Dave and Jack played golf at 6:30 a.m. and after they showered and changed, the four of us headed up into the mountains for a walk around and meal in Park City.

he wanted me to sit next to him but......

We've all been there many times so none of us had an agenda.   We parked and walked and talked and enjoyed the beautiful high altitude day.

In and out of a few stores, feeling stunning alpaca jackets and scarves,  trying on leather hats, checking out art galleries, appreciating the flower boxes and pots and noticing the details of the carefully kept old buildings.

We enjoyed a lttle wine and a luscious lunch outside at Cafe Terigo on Main before deciding it was time to head back to SLC.   Actually after lunch, Jack and I waited in a long line outside a tiny shop called Cow something or other, for some yummy ice cream to top off our nice day.    It was a beautiful ride home and we left with promises to return soon.

Tomorrow we move on to the next stop (Caldwell, Idaho) on the way to our long awaited Spokane visit.
