UT, CO, WY, NE Trip

Backside of the Tushar Mtns.  We've hiked to the top of Mt. Belknap and Delano Peak both are over 12,000 ft

The entire town of Spring City is on the National Historic Register.  We had fun looking at the old homes

Lots of different styles of homes

Not only could you buy eggs at this house, the house was also for sale

Another side of the house, it was situated on a nice lot

This house was not as old, but very nice and homey looking

It looks like they used a lot of large limestone bricks

Nice farming country around Spring City

Spring City really is named after a spring

Driving through the Huntington-Eccles National Scenic Byway . . . wow!

We stopped here on the east side of the canyon to stretch

Elk just hanging around the fields

August 2007 six coal miners were trapped by a cave-in at the Crandall Canyon Mine.  They, along with three rescuers died in the mine

On the way to Walden

We saw lots of deer

I-80 East bound at Kimball, NE closed all the way to the Kansas border, due to total white-out conditions

Between Fort Collins and Walden

Muddy Pass at the Continental Divide

This sign made no sense to us.  We are facing south, therefore the Pacific points East and the Atlantic point West??
