Travels With Mabel

I've driven in heavy, deep snow in Utah in every month of the year, save July and August.LebamDawg said:Mabel is on the move again. Being the idiot I am, I plan this trip through eastern Oregon, Idaho, and Utah based on the average temps. Well the reason the average temps are near 65 this time of year is because a week ago they were in the 90's and now the 40's. Snowing where I be 40 miles east of Twin Falls.
"Winter Driving Conditions - Use Caution" and frigging snowing about 500 ft past the sign. How did they know where to put that sign just amazes me.
Anyway, as I hooked up everything this morning it was 38 with a what seemed like -15 wind chill.
and settled in for what the weather report says is 5 days of freezing temps

Well I roll into Provo and it is 64 degrees and then all hell breaks loose. 50 mph winds. I know when to travel.

Snowing all around us but not too bad really -

Try to pick up a sister wife for Mabel while you're there.LebamDawg said:Well I roll into Provo and it is 64 degrees and then all hell breaks loose. 50 mph winds. I know when to travel.

was at Mike's grocery and did see a couple sister wives - mentioned it to the Mrs but she was unaware. I did not want to stare at the outfits too much - dressed alike head to toe. I think, but could not confirm, that the armpits were cutout.
So from there went to the town of Frisco - Old Frisco Mining Town to be exact, absolute ghost town. Mined silver, few buildings crumbling away and these neat ovens
area was blocked off by the mining company - fences up and warnings about fumes, cave ins, you know all the fun stuff.

Well I am now in Arizona for the big game - but I can't find anyone to tailgate with

the stadium is just over that ridge I think.
14 miles out of Freedonia and settling in for a night of sports. Checked the sports schedule and it appears to be basically second tier games. oh well.
Will be here for a while going up to Zion, Bryce, and some other stuff up by Kanab, Utah. Stayed out here at the RV park on the Piaute Indian reservation because I am a cheap bastard. Cost per day is $22 - full hook up and internet.
Here is a shot coming into Kanab, Utah - the color of the hills change drastically coming into this area
