On our way to Strawberry Reservoir in the Uinta's to meet our son and his wife we had to climb over the mountain on rt. 191, about 9100 feet in alt., the little ol diesel didn't have a problem. Stopped at Dochesne for lunch and was entertained by the prairie dogs, there were so many. Taking a picture of them was a challenge, many were standing by their hole but when you would get close they disappeared, kind of like the "whack-a-mole" game, back off and up they popped again. We ran into some snowy rain on the way to the lake at about 8000 feet, some cross country bicyclers were really suffering.
We had a beautiful campsite on Strawberry Res. We were at 7700 feet, the first night got below freezing and our water hose was frozen the next morning. My son Chris and his wife arrive the next day, he lives in Layton, UT and he brought his boat and camper to join us. Didn't catch a lot of fish but did get 2 nice rainbow trout. There is a large group of white pelicans on the lake that were fun to watch. The last morning there we had a good storm and a pretty rainbow when it ended. The boat picture is Chris and Nita.
Glad to see you're back on the blog after the NO WIFI In The BOONIES. I'm impressed that the little Diesel did so well up the mtns. It's the "Little Diesel that Could". We enjoy the Pics and hope you can stop by Kearney on the way back through. You could blog Jesse James Home that is here in Kearney.
