A view from our lunch spot outside Scofield, UT 💙
Aspens make me 😍 |

Ken took a selfie of us with snow in the
background in Yellowstone 😊 |
After leaving Fred and Rose's place we headed for Green River, Utah to drive the Flaming Gorge. I had done this many years ago with the volunteers but I didn't really remember the drive.
It's a beautiful highway but until about 43 miles into it, you really don't see much "flaming" LOL.
We turned onto Lucern Valley Road where we saw there was camping. Very nice dispersed camping. I'm sure this place is packed during the summer as the water is right there! Hardly anyone there now. Because it's off season, it was FREE which is always nice.
Got ourselves settled in and enjoyed the evening. Antelope all over and fun to watch. Ken made a fire, so it was nice sitting outside.
I'm telling you right now that it's a definite picture overload. Aspens are in their full glory so you know what to expect!
Again, because there was no service anywhere it's a couple of day catch up!
 |
When we left the next morning we took a drive further into camping and found these
nice campgrounds with electric hookups. Not sure of the price but they were NFS campsites. They had closed all the loops and were emptying out the last one as camping closed for the season here. |
 |
| We headed out and the colors came into being... |
 |
| The highway went up and up! The road was really incredible and they had guardrails 😊 |
 |
| See the road down there! |
 |
| I was one happy camper with all the aspens in their Fall glory! |
 |
I believe this is highway 191, just a gorgeous highway with very little
traffic! |
 |
Vernal, Utah...very nice town! Most of the stores and restaurants were closed
as it was Sunday..the way it used to be all over America. |
 |
| Why we're here to see Dinosaur National Monument.. |
 |
| Our campsite..with our old guy pass $9.00 a night. |
 |
| Love these mountains! |
 |
| Adam, bet you'd like this set up. |
 |
| Dinosaur National Monument Quarry...sure looks different then I saw it many years ago... |
 |
| Dinosaur bones embedded in the rock face.. |
It was pretty amazing to see these bones, and how big they were!
We took a drive crossing over the Green River |
| Red Dirt Road |
 |
| Yep, that's RED! |
 |
| Turtle Rock |
 |
| Back to camp for Happy Hour and a beautiful sunset! |
Yesterday morning before leaving we took a short drive to the petroglyphs  |
| Some of the best we've seen and very well preserved.. |
 |
| A nice easy walkway to get to them.. |
 |
| Looks like where the indians would have ground up their food.. |
 |
| Duchesne, UT..most of the little towns had these baskets of flowers 😍 |
 |
| We followed 191, just a beautiful drive |
 |
| Skyline Mine out of Scofield, UT..Coal mining... |

Loved this...We have rights given by God, Not privileges allowed by the government.. All men are created equal..The big sign in the window...WE the People!
Should have stopped and gotten an ice cream there! Very cute town!
|
 |
| Love this little place! |
 |
| Or this one! |
 |
| Some little houses on the way to our campground in Nephi, Utah... |

Nephi, Utah...

We pulled into Jones High Country RV Camp and got our site. It's right on Main Street. Very busy campground. The check in person said they've been full every night. It looks like they have a lot of workers and families staying here long term. Very quiet campground. $30.00 a night for full hookups. Not bad for a night. 50 amp too.
Well, this morning we travel on towards home. WE had planned to stop at Sacramento Pass near Great Basin NP but map questing it, only 163 miles. WE'll head for Ely, NV 203 miles. Probably will treat ourselves to Margaritas Mexican for a late lunch and then to Illipah, but again we all know how things can change. LOL. So instead of being home Thursday we should be home tomorrow. 😪😊
It's been an awesome trip for not knowing where we were going when we left home. I hate to see it end, Ken's ready for home. I know I will be too when we get there. Can't believe it's the end of September already!
Hopefully we'll have a trip in October to visit friends in Oregon. 😊
Thanks for following along and all the nice comments here and on Facebook 💙
To end this long post, some pictures of Grandson, Aaron (#20) in action! Hope to see him play soon! 💙
