Road Trip

Diana, Murphy and I are on a 4 day road trip – wandering through parts of Utah that we haven’t been to or that we love!  Friday we stayed at a very eclectic inn in Sterling, UT.  The kids that stay there call it the Haunted House!  It was perfect for Murph, tho’, as our place was separate and he could run around and wallow in the stream to his heart’s content.  We caught the sunset over the west and the sun reflections on the eastern hills.


The next morning we had breakfast, then took a hike partway around a reservoir just a little ways away.  The horses below watched us come and a couple walked over to the fence but we did not have treats for them ;-(



The water along the shore had this wonderful green tinge to it – very mysterious and beautiful. 











We’re in Boulder now, staying at Boulder mountain inn, a favorite of ours.  It is a very relaxing place, with dinner last night at Hell’s Backbone Grill, accompanied by Jezebel, the resident kitty.  So we got our kitty fix a little with her.  We eat out on the deck, she sits on the railing next to our table and we listen to the water dripping in the fountains.  Bliss.

Took Murph for a walk last night and caught a couple of sunset-cloud-sky shots.  Lots of mosquitos – reminds me of Minnesota.  Male and female bluebirds flew around us – hard to catch with the camera as they don’t want to sit still. 

Will probably drive Hell’s Backbone trail today – take a picnic lunch and hang out.
