7/24 woke up the smell of home made strawberry waffles BIG THANKS TO SARAH AND STERLING ACREE WHOSE HOSPITALITY IS UNMATCHED IN ALL THE LANDS...Eric decided he wanted a job so he drove into Provo for an interview, Johnny and I drove about 15 min from the apartment to Parley's Canyon, sweet cliffs right on the highway.

Afterwards picked up a National Park Pass from REI, checked out the Black Diamond headquarters, then went to Arctic Circle for lunch. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I was all like, “one chicken fillet sandwich please” and she was, “well he ya go sonny” and took one bite and then had to run to the bathroom KKAAAAABBBOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!! never eating there again.

Eric met us back at the Acree estate and we took naps. I love naps. Packed up the car, gave a few hugs, headed up to Logan where Jake (Eric's little bro) is in school, took him out to dinner at a diner where “where the locals eat”. Food wasn't much better then arctic circle. Again, I was all KKKAAABBBOOOOOMMMM! Then we drove to the blue house behind the cemetary to see some of Eric's old buddies from college, Drew and Pink, I think both are on the 7 year college plan...in the words of Pink, “HEY, where's the fire?”


Left Pink the gangsters house and headed north into Cashe Canyon, we found a great little spot by a little river and set up camp. First night of many to be spent in the tent.



Woke up and continued north. Pulled over as we passed Bear Lake, it is so beautiful here...there is no greater Artist then the one who calls the sun to rise and paints the morning skies...





So, now you are caught up, I'm sitting in the back seat blogging away, saw two real cowboys at a gas station this morning. that was cool.
