June 4th - Logan, UT and beyond

This morning we went to a local farmer’s market in a gorgeous green park. There was so much fresh produce, it was awesome! Especially after the lack of it in Horsham!! We saw trout, lots of lettuce (of which we had to get some!), eggs, cakes, rhubarb, asparagus and lots and lots of bread! We sampled so much bread with delicious sauces. Will caved (he is such a sucker for fresh bread!) and we bought a loaf of awesome orange and cranberry bread. It was so lovely with lots of fruit!! We had samples of a ‘borderdog’ which is a hotdog wrapped in bacon. Then Will had to get one – not so good for the cholesterol levels! We listened to the live band they had there, belting out ‘Sweet home Alabama’ which Hillary said reminded her of pubs in Hobart haha. I have been asking Will if we could have a cat, or dog, or hamster or mouse or turtle or some kind of pet in Betsey, but he keeps saying no. Even though we saw a cat being walked in an RV park outside of Zion NP. So instead I got him to buy me a parsley plant! His name is Parry and there are actually four of him and his pot is too small, so I will have to pot him on sometime. He cost me $1 and is a good little pet J.

Then it was time to head back to Idaho. We drove north, admiring the gorgeous snow-capped mountains, which surround Logan. We wanted to stop at a truckstop  just in Idaho on a native American reserve but we ended up going to the casino to use the bathroom! A very dark casino that was packed!! We were pretty impressed though – free tea and coffee! So we helped ourselves, Will sampling the vanilla and hazelnut creamers! I took a teabag for the road too – maybe I should’ve taken more J Another closed campground due to potential flooding, then we found one outside of Blackfoot.

Yummy cranberry and orange bread!

We didn’t have $16 in change – Will only had a $20 note, so we didn’t pay for the campground at first. Then a guy came along who was throwing a Frisbee and he said he was the owner and we told him our change situation, so he said that’s ok you are only hooked up to power, $5. So we got a great campsite with water, electricity and hot showers for $5!! Bargain!! That guy was an amazing Frisbee-ist too – he threw it about 100 metres, easily. There were the hoop things for frolf, so obviously he plays!
