ROADTRIP - LOGAN CANYON CIRCUT
The promised snow turned out to be a light frosting on the highest peaks and rain in the valley. But The Crew wasn't disappointed; WE LOVE WEATHER. And to top it all off, there is more WEATHER expected Friday night & Saturday morning! Will The Crew get to play in the snow?

Bear Lake, a natural freshwater lake, part in Utah, part in Idaho. Also known as the Caribbean of the Rockies because of its turquoise color (from calcium leached from seashells--a left-over from the Great Salt Lake). The added mineral has resulted in species of fish known only to this lake: Bonneville cisco, Bonneville whitefish, Bear Lake whitefish, and Bear Lake sculpin. Although other species have been introduced into the lake, few can reproduce successfully in the lakes waters, so it has not been affected as greatly as other lakes by invasive species.

We had Lunner (combined lunch & dinner) at Mis Amores. YUM!

One last stop at La Tienda, just before the Utah border. What makes this gas station and grill so famous is that they sell Lottery Tickets. And since there aren't so many Idahoans around, they sell to the hordes of Utah residents (where there is no Lottery) that cross the border to load up on Lottery Tickets.
Thus to honor all of the money entering the Idaho Lottery, La Tienda has renamed the Lottery.
Wednesday we were on the road (as in ROADTRIP): Logan Canyon; Bear Lake; Montpelier, Idaho; Cache Forest; Preston, Idaho; and back to Logan.
Changing leaves in Logan Canyon. It will probably be another week or two until they are at their height.
