Southern Living aka Road Trip

Our tent was getting quite dusty and we were getting anxious to sleep on the ground, aka camping, so we headed down to Utah for the weekend. After a quick stop in Logan to meet with a Production Basics customer











check out this gnar workbench!

...we camped at Willard Bay





















and did some MountainLyte Biking at Antelope Island State Park.






















A favorite spot on the tour was Golden Spike National Historic Site. This is where the transcontinental railroad was joined. In the middle of nowhere Utah, aka Promotory, Utah. Golden Spike is also a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.















Check out that grin!

If you want to read a fascinating account of building the railroad, check out Stephen Ambrose’s Nothing Like it in the World.

My sister gave me a super cool camping gadget a while back- The Firefly. The Firefly is a screw top cap attachment for your Nalgene bottle that has a waterproof light inside, so it acts as a lantern. You can use it with or without water, but as you can see, it's a piece of artwork with H2O.


































Thanks Sis!
