Some nature

Even though I have been a little busy with my show, Pete and I have still found some time to enjoy the nature here in Utah. We spent one Sunday afternoon at a reservoir called Sand Hollow - it was beautiful. Though the water was cold! It felt good on a hot day. We just lounged on the rocks and read or tried to make our way around the rocks and sandbars under the water. It was a beautiful day and Pete took a ton of pictures (I'm sure they will make it onto Flicker in a month or so!)

We got the best camping tip ever from James, the scenic director here at the Festival. He said his favorite campground in Utah is Oak Grove. It's about 40 minutes away on the the highway, but then another half hour on a winding, one-lane, gravel road. It was well worth the trip. We were lucky enough to get the last campsite in the place and we had a spectacular view of the mountains that surrounded us.

It was warm during the day but cool at night (not Cedar Canyon cool, but all-dogs-in-bed cool.

Mojo started something that he hasn't done for a while - he dug little dens for himself all weekend. By the time we left on Sunday afternoon - there were 4 little Mojo size holes around the site and both dogs needed baths from all the dust. Not sure if you can see him behind Pete in the second picture, but he is in a little den under the bushes staying cool!

There was no place in the site that we couldn't look without seeing a beautiful view. It was just a fantastic campground and we had a wonderful and relaxing weekend.
