June 2nd - Back in Utah


We drove along to Bear Lake, admiring the cheap fuel prices as we went – $3.56 a gallon! We also stocked up on firewood! Then it was time to leave Wyoming, just for now. Bear Lake is half in Utah and Idaho. It is such a blue lake - it was just hard to take pictures with all the houses and trees around it. We were driving up the west side of the lake, admiring how amazingly blue it was, when all of a sudden Will spotted the ‘welcome to Idaho’ sign. We looked at each other and both laughed as we hadn’t actually realised we were going to cross the border! We stopped along the lake for some lunch (the not so nice, animal sanctuary end. We only saw birds though), then drove back into Utah! We had a beautiful view of the lake as we drove up and up. Most of the campgrounds around there were closed either because they were still snowed in or had the potential to flood. We stopped to ask some people who were in one of the closed campgrounds where we could camp! There were only two open and we were practically in Logan already! We stayed at the ‘nicer’ one, which was leafy and green, but $17 a night. I am getting very sick of drop toilets!!! 

A quiet afternoon, napping and reading. A cool night in Betsey.
