Vacation Report: Day Two #5

Along the way through Wyoming, we saw an alternate route to get us to our final stop for the day, Logan, UT, so we thought we'd change our route around a little, just to relieve the monotony of the interstate. This was to be known as Mistake Number One. Along this route was a little town named:
This was also the point where Melissa discovered Fry Sauce at the Arctic Circle burger joint in Diamondville, WY. It's basically mayo and ketchup mixed together, but folks in UT and areas nearby swear by the stuff, and now so does Melissa!

I was in charge of navigating (also known as Mistake Number Two) and unbeknownst to all weary travelers concerned, Wyoming doesn't post highway signs along their state highways. To make a long story short (too late I know) we ended up in Idaho a day earlier than scheduled and a stretch of road that should have taken an hour and a half took... well, far longer than we would have liked! We landed in Beaver Mountain Pass in the Cache National Forest North of Logan where we saw our first June snow up close! It wouldn't be the last, though!




Then after a long and winding mountain road that seemed to repeat in an endless loop like an episode of the Twilight Zone we finally arrived in Logan, late, frustrated and tired! Tuesday June 3 seemed like one of the longest days of the year! But there's no rest for the weary and Wednesday promised to include even more to see and do!

Short cuts make for long delays.

Awesome. Getting off the beaten path (i.e, interstate) leads to excellent adventures!
