We’ve
stopped for the evening at the KOA in Richfield, we fit nicely into lot B2 and
we have a straight shot out of here in the morning. Greg is happy because the trees are open
enough on this lot that he can get TV reception. We stopped at the Wal-Mart in Richfield
earlier today. We haven’t made a stop
for a major grocery stock up since we left Mesa on April 15. I was glad they had some really good produce,
I’m usually unhappy with Wal-Mart produce sections, this one was a pleasant
surprise.
Our second
nice surprise was the Richfield KOA. We
normally don’t stay at KOA campgrounds, some are older and need some
maintenance. I admit we haven’t gotten
out to check out the pool, etc. – I’ve been washing produce. But, the campground appears to be very well
kept and there are so many lilac trees around that the whole campground smells
like lilacs.
We left Long
Valley fairly early this morning.
Since this
mountain is to the east of us, I’m hoping we don’t have to go over it. Greg says he thinks there is more snow on it
this morning than yesterday.
The Sevier
River follows alongside Hwy 89 and we were able to enjoy it until we got to
I-70. The river meanders back and forth
across the meadows and beside the mountains.
I looks kind of strange though because it flows north.
Mountain
scenery along Hwy. 89 going north.
I forget the
name of this small town but I thought the flowering trees all along its main
street were so pretty.
We passed a
sign that said “Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort”. This seemed to be the predominant mountain in
the area so I assume it is “Big Rock Candy Mountain”.
We saw a
very nice bike trail running along Hwy. 89.
It came into view at various places but I’m not sure what the rest of
the route ran through.
These snow
white mountains were at the intersection of Hwy. 89 and I-70. I assume they are made of limestone.
It never
fails when we pull into a Wal-Mart, we pick a place that is far away from other
vehicles so we can maneuver out easily.
It seems the front of our coach is very inviting. We usually come out to find that someone
could have picked from scads of other parking places but they pick the one
right in front of us. By the time I took
this picture Greg was already backing up.
