On Tuesday night we had strong winds until about midnight. Our RV was rocking and the slide-out covers were flapping. Fortunately the winds stopped for Wednesday but then it started to rain and we had light rain most of the day.
On Wednesday morning Bob and I left Rock Springs, WY for Logan, UT. It was about 180 miles but the trip took over four hours because of the mountain driving we had to do. Whenever we go over mountains I prepare ahead of time by deflating the Sleep Number mattress so it doesn’t pop. This is a necessity. We also have to be aware when opening jars and plastic bottles the next day because air pressure builds up and we can get a little spray. Just one of those little things most people never have to deal with!
Bob and I noticed a lot of these little silo-shaped structures in the fields outside of Rock Springs but couldn’t figure out what they were.
Then I remembered that our friend Retha had shown me how to use Google Lens, a feature of Google Photos. So I snapped a picture and immediately Google Lens identified these structures as fracking equipment. And now we know. Thanks, Retha!
We passed through Bear Lake in Utah, which is an amazing turquoise color, caused by the calcium carbonate (lime) in the water. The wind had picked up and there were whitecaps in the water.
Once past Bear Lake the road took us on a winding pass through mountains. The canyons we drove through were beautiful and I briefly fantasized about living here in a cute little cabin on a mountain. Except I’m going to bet dollars to doughnuts the winters here are brutal.
We are only in Logan for one night before moving on. Only two more travel days until we see my daughter, son in law, and their four beautiful children!
