Before we get to Salt Lake City, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a couple of places where we left off in/around Duchesne, UT. First, there is Cowan’s Cafe. Great little place to stop for a meal. Not really “homemade goodness”, but decent food. And about the only place in town to eat out. Nice people, hot food. Kinda nostalgic in a small-town way. The other place is Starvation Lake, just on the west side of Duchesne and surrounds the Camperworld RV Resort where we stayed for a couple of days. It is only about 3500 acres, but truly reminded me of a mini Lake Powell. The water is so blue, even my camera can’t describe it.

I couldn’t wait! Rather than taking the guided tour ($55 including lunch and a tour of downtown), we decided to embark on our own adventure. We got up at Dawn’s Crack the next day, fired up GW – The Great White – our C4500 Chevy hauler, and headed downtown. Wasn’t too difficult as the KOA is on North Temple which feeds directly to Temple Square. With just a couple of construction detours, we had it made in the shade. Oh, BTW, did I mention we brought a “heat wave” with us? Ugh. Ten to twenty degrees HOTTER than normal. Great. Well, that’s OK. It’s a ‘dry’ heat. And the A/C is working, so no worries. We got to Temple Square just in time, seated ourselves and prepared for a real treat. And were not […]
