GREAT VISTAS OF THE WEST

Chuck checking out the Map

Always another road to Explore

I wonder why a lone tree survives while others do Not

Turning off the highway always leads to what is around the next Curve

Where does this road lead? We did not find Out

This is what I love about the West

The Great Vistas

One can see for hundreds of miles in all four directions at Once

Mountain Ridges beyond Mountain Ridge

A Mountain peak in Central Utah

Just one of Many

The unit on the end was ours for the Weekend

Fish Lake

Caught 10 Trout

Lost One

Released two at the Boat

Brought 8 home which was our Limit

All were caught on Velvetta Cheese

This is a supremely satisfied Fisherman

Fish Lake

Notice the jet's vapor trail Above

This lake is hundreds of miles from the nearest Airport

Planes passed over all Afternoon

Fish Lake

A perfect ending to a perfect Day

Chuck and I took a little R&R from our R&R this weekend. Thursday we loaded up the little fishing boat, put the 4 wheeler in the back of the truck and headed south on Hwy 15. Exiting the interstate at Scipio, we headed for Fish Lake which is in Central Utah and is about three hours from our home. Our family has fished this lake over the years, so we were anxious to give it another try. This late in the season, there were few people there and no eating facilities.

We cooked all of our meals in our cozy cabin. Friday we fished for about three hours. Because we had our limit, we were unable to fish on Saturday, so we spent the day exploring the surrounding mountains on the four wheeler. It is the middle of the hunt for elk using a muzzle loaded gun so, we were not surprised to come across a number of hunters on four wheelers and in trucks. These people hunt with bow and arrow, rifles, and muzzle loaded guns using black powder. We encountered lots of snow at the higher elevations, trees fallen across the muddy trail, and gigantic boulders which made me feel that we were driving through a stream bed. Chuck was in heaven and I enjoyed the adventure. We came home today and are looking forward to cold weather and snow for the next three days. We love living in this beautiful State.
