Another road trip to take in the scenic beauty of northern Utah. After stopping to take a picture of the "Devil's Slide" just off the interstate, our destination was the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir and Campground,a favorite and frequent Utah camping destination of Eva and her late husband Owen. They had taken my parents there in the past and were lucky to see a momma bear and cubs on that trip. There had been recent bear and moose sightings in/near the campground, but we didn't luck out - we were there in midday, which is not the optimum time for spotting wildlife. It is a gorgeous area and we enjoyed driving, and hiking around the campgrounds.
We had a unique lunch experience at the Road Island Diner. The diner was pulled from Rhode Island in 2007 and placed in Oakley, UT. It is meticulous - specially constructed and completed in 1939, it was displayed at the World's Fair. Featuring Italian marble countertops, tile floors, and many other very handsome architectural details. The only additions to the original diner are air conditioning, jukebox units at each table, and the flat screen televisions. And the food was quite good to boot!
Eva knows the right places to show us and we are having a hard time keeping up with her!
