One of our first clear views as we drove north along Bear Lake, which is in both Utah and Idaho. The lake is about 20 miles in length, with half in Utah and half in Idaho. North of the lake by just a hundred feet or so is Mud Lake, which is home to the Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge. According to Wikipedia, "White-faced ibis, sandhill cranes, swans, ducks, geese, and shorebirds reside in this wildlife refuge during its summer seasons. Moose can sometimes be found on this refuge, along with wintering mule deer." Hopefully as we travel north tomorrow we might see some wildlife...
Here is the view from under our awning...
This such a pretty lake, with many views of very blue water...much bluer on the south side of the lake than the northern side. We are just about in the middle of the lake at Mountain Fawn Campground of Bear Lake State Park. Just here for one night, we have a lake view, electricity and water, and a dump station we can use before we exit the park tomorrow (Friday) morning.
A week before we left Sacramento Area we met my son Michael, wife Anna and nearly 3 year old Addie over at Mom's Assisted Living Home.
As you can see, Mom had a wonderful time...too bad the next day she could not remember it without my coaching her.
Addie and Momma Anna had some fun on the tree swing.
And Addie got Grandpa to wear her "Heart Hat". How could I say no....
Above is our Lake View, for $44 with senior discount. They are using a new system which still has a few glitches in it...but a nice lady here at the camp got us, and the lady behind us, checked in. The new system is suppose to be that it is all done by computer or a phone call...but the phone call did not work, and she walked up to help just as I was getting on the smart phone that we use to operate all the electronics on the Camper Van.
And just like that, our day has come to an end...tomorrow will bring us to a northern location from where we are at.
