Layton, Utah

Saturday we arrived at Chris and Cathy's home in Layton, Utah, our son and daughter in law. They have a camper and we have been looking forward to travel with them up into Idaho and Montana. Before we left Chris and I loaded up on groceries and he let me drive his beautiful Corvette, wow does it go. We departed Sunday morning, drove through lava fields near the Craters of the Moon Natural Monument. Monday we drove the Sawtooth Scenic byway up through Sun Valley, Stanley and Clayton. This is beautiful country to travel through with sights of antelope, elk and mule deer.l



Chris and Cathy's dog, Ellie. Poor Ellie didn't get to go on the trip.

We have been following the Salmon river for many miles. This is the town of Salmon, note the wooden owl mounted on the front of the Owl Club on the left.


The poor owl gets shot at by bow hunters who may have had too many drinks, note the one arrow that missed the mark on the right. According to a local the owl club removes the arrows from time to time, but the owl hunters come right back.

  1. I love the owl with all the arrows in it. I thought at first it was eyelashes!
