Sometimes you need to take a different approach

We spent Memorial Day weekend at Bear Lake in NE UT. While the East Coast was cooking with 90+ degrees temperatures, we had cold snowy weather. Not what we expected! Most of the trails in nearby Logan Canyon were closed due to snow. In fact we saw more people snowmobiling than hiking. It was standing room only at Crystal Hot Springs - going on Family Day during a cold 3 day weekend was not one of our better decisions. Antelope Island SP in the Great Salt Lake was practically deserted. Perhaps the large flashing “BUG ARE BAD” sign at the park entrance deterred some people. Of course the bugs made this a natural refuse for the birds that migrated through here. More than 500 bison roam the island along with antelope, mule deer and coyote. We avoided hiking in protected area where the “no-see-ums” were ready to devour us. As we drove back across the causeway, the front of the RV became the final resting place for thousands of midges.
We drove to the generator repair shop and finally got that job completed. We camped in a nearby canyon where the rangers were trying to capture a large bear that had been causing problems. We couldn’t leave Utah without visiting Temple Square in Salt Lake City. We entered the Visitor Center, and soon we had 3 friendly Tour Guides (aka missionaries, or Saints). They initially thought we would make excellent “Saints”. Obviously they didn’t know us well. When they discovered we were homeless, jobless gypsies, they moved on to more respectable prospects. We were lucky enough to catch the Mormon Tabernacle Choir during a rehearsal before they went on a two month tour. I was definitely ready to leave Salt Lake City and UT now.
