Flaming Gorge to Ogden
We took another designated Scenic Byway (state highway 191) up through a remote section of Wyoming to hit Interstate 80/84 to Ogden, UT. Along the Interstate, we could see many of the trains that are prevalent out here – Charlcie couldn’t resist snapping a picture out the window, since it is not a good idea to stop in the highway. Also had to get a picture of the windmill farm, which is similar to the ones we’ve seen in West Texas and East Kansas. A bonus on the road was a stop at an ice cream shop in Green River to share a fresh huckleberry shake – we look forward to more huckleberries as we move northward.
Our purpose for traveling to Ogden is to visit my cousin Eva. She has been a favorite of mine since I was an early teenager and she used to visit us in Ft. Smith when she had breaks from college in Springfield, MO, and didn’t have the time to return to home in Wyoming. She, as much as anyone, unknowingly had an influence on my decision to attend college. Our families have always been very close and so we always look forward to any opportunities we have to get together.
