It was a chilly ole morning and we were thankful for power and our electric heater.

We wanted to book another night in our spot overlooking the lake but it was booked for the weekend. So we hung around until midday, doing some editing and tidying the van.

We then visited the homestead crater, which is a natural hot spring inside a crater! You had to book online to swim and you can even scuba dive there. We were too late to book, but they said we could go in if there were any no shows. We opted against swimming but had a look around and it was pretty cool. Basically an underground hot pool.

We stocked up on a few supplies at Hebert city, Utah and we are now heading for Idaho, avoiding motorways.

The town we are heading for takes 3 hours but motorway, or 6 hours avoiding them. So obviously we will avoid them. What’s the fun in getting there quicker!

Storms were brewing ahead of us as we climbed into the mountains. But still it was a wonderful drive. At 4pm we past a beautiful lake camp. Mike didn’t want to stop so we kept driving. But I know it’s a Friday night and we may have trouble finding somewhere with power. So I made Mike backtrack.

It was a beautiful spot right on the lake, surrounded by snow capped mountains. Freezing though! I think we’re getting acclimatised for Canada.

A pleasant evening capturing Auroras on my phone, but I think there was too much light pollution from Salt Lake City. Pity we weren’t in the desert still.
