1142 September 23, 2024 Blair Spring Road

We heard coyotes yipping and howling last evening as we settled for bed.  The sounds came from far across the river.  We got up during the night and the moon was glowing over the water.

When we woke up, the sun still had not made its way over the mountains.  Tim had coffee ready and the fire going by the time I got out of the tent. 

We took our time, enjoying the warmth of the morning sun.  When we left, we decided to take the long way home.  We took another dirt and gravel road, Blair Spring Road.  We traveled up and up; through wide expanses of sagebrush and juniper bushes.  We arrived at the top.  What gorgeous views of the river and mountains below!

Harvester anthill…do NOT disturb!

At last, we arrived at pavement and we made our way back to Vernal. 

We saw a Jeep dealer and stopped to ask if they had time for routine Jeep maintenance.  Tim went back with the Jeep this afternoon while I did laundry and dishes and stuff!

The remainder of the day was spent gathering a few supplies and then planning for the week ahead. We thought about hanging here a little longer but opted to move on. Tomorrow we will go south to Fruita, Colorado.
