Mountain Slide... smountain slide

Our next leg of the adventure brought us the rest of the way through Nevada and into Utah. 

We stopped in Cedar City and took the chance to pick up some groceries and eat lunch.

We also found some great signs....

Evidently Brian's Head slopes for any season...

 From Cedar City we planned to take a 30 mile highway to our destination, but we found that our road had been closed due to a mountain slide. It had been closed for a couple months and would be closed in the day time for at least another month.

We found an alternate route, much longer but through the Dixie Forest. We were able to stop and take some pictures along the way.

We finally made it to our cabin, called the Bear's Den. It's in a community called Duck Creek Village. It's a ring of cabins and facilities surrounding a marsh and meadow - very picturesque!

Let the relaxation commence! 

The "relaxation" portion of the day didn't last long. In fact it only lasted until more interesting people arrived.

Butterfly catching with Cousin Michelle

It ended up that they did catch some "fish". They were very green, leafy "fish" if you catch my drift. But it was fun.

Tomorrow we will venture out to the surrounding areas.... 

something has to break up the cycle of eating - nap- reading- eating.
