We had 11 days before we were meeting the Chen’s in Montana and we were heading closer there and trying to hit the target just right.  We wanted to take care of some travel business (laundry, packages, etc.) so we thought Salt Lake City was a good option.  We opted to stay in the North Salt Lake area at the Pony Express RV Resort.  This spot was OK as it was close to everything we wanted.  The spots were really close together and we had a tight parking area for our truck!  They had some nice amenities though and were a gated park.

We were able to take care of all the needs and some extra.  We went to see a movie there.  Went to Trader Joe’s to stock up my breakfast cereal.  We also took a nice drive up to Park City and back around through Guardsman Pass.  There were a few dicey parts of the pass but the drive was beautiful!

One of the best amenities had to be the Jordan River Parkway that was right next to the park.  A total of 40 miles of walk/bikeway through the SLC area.  We were at the north end and would do a 2-mile walk each evening.  The wildlife along the trail was amazing, both good and bad!  The mosquitos were horrendous.  One day that wasn’t that windy, we forgot to use bug repellent and paid for it!  The other days we remembered and had a great time.  Here is some of the wildlife we saw:

Ducks and ducklings

Deer. One day we also saw a fox there.

Beaver. We saw 5-6 each day.

Chevron has a refinery nearby and has sponsored part of the trail.

SLC was starting to get hot the last days and we spent 6 nights there, 5 to go for the meetup.  I had been finding the last camp spots and I asked Roxie to find the next two.  She did a very good job and we will see them next.
