We are on the move again! So many packed days and very little bandwidth/internet to upload videos…but don’t worry, they are coming! Just before we left Heber City Utah on Saturday we spent Friday morning fly fishing on the Provo River with our guide, Todd Kramer from Fish Heads Fly Shop! What a morning. We met Todd at 6am to beat the heat…after a short walk to the river the fun began. We started hooking brown trout (Carol landed one) and then we hooked the wild rainbows! I caught the first one and then just after Carol caught hers! These…

The past couple of weeks we have actually struggled! The heat has been ugly….So ugly that yesterday we rerouted our trip. We were going to stay in Heber City until 7/29, but hanging out in the AC of the Airstream pushed us to make the decision to leave. We have throughly enjoyed our time here but we are excited to move on. Our next stop is Twin Falls, ID for an overnight, then on to Ashton, ID for 9 days. Ashton, ID is an hour from Yellowstone National Park and 1.5 hours from Grand Teton National Park. This…

Carol found this art class: Painting Zion with Cindy Briggs.http://CindyBriggs.comThis class peaked our interest since we were just at Zion National Park last month. Our class was well organized and our project for the day was a mountain scene from Zion. We started with basic shapes of shadows, methodically moving from shape to shape. Cindy, our…

Every now and then we find a remote area that may be best explored without the Airstream. This week we took an overnight side trip to Flaming Gorge on the Wyoming, Utah border. From Heber City we drove West on I-80. Our campground was on the Southwest side of Lake Flaming Gorge. Several Antelope meandered through the campground, amazing! Once set up we toured and explored to find Red Canyon and Flaming Gorge Dam. This area is known for spectacular trout fishing…we were not prepared, I left all the fly fishing equipment at the Airstream; really dumb move. We…
