October 3: Beaver, Utah and Great Basin National Park, Nevada


After leaving Zion via the South Entrance, we proceeded north on I-15 to Beaver, Utah. It is a very neat little town first settled by the Mormons. Our friend Steve has family ties there. His father grew up in this town. They have an incredibly good bakery right on Main Street (can't remember the name of it). Also, Beaver is the home of Philo Farnsworth, the man who invented the television.







 

After a short visit, we headed west for Ely, Nevada and the Great Basin National Park.
We had such a beautiful campsite at the Lower Lehman Campground  (#8), and the autumn colors were amazing. Even though the nights were very cold,  we had a fun time. This was our last camp out of the trip, and if it wasn't for our anxiousness to get home and the freezing temps at night, we could have easily stayed a few more days. We really love the camping!
Cocktail time.







Brrrr... very cold morning!
