Today dawned sunny and bright, or at least it was when we got up after sleeping in later than usual (especially Robin). After puttering for a bit we decided to go for a drive and check out nearby Bountiful (northeast of the RV park). We had seen another big, white LDS temple way up on the hill so made that our destination. We have seen this temple off in the distance every time we come back to the RV park, but when we started heading that way today, we couldn't see it anywhere. Eventually we realized that it had blended into the background of snow that fell yesterday and last night.
Once we got up on the hill, in the vicinity of the temple, we found ourselves in a gorgeous and VERY upscale neighbourhood, with incredible views (spotted one house for sale at $1.6M). From the temple (it wasn't open to the public) we could see more houses even higher up, so we found a road into what a subdivision called Stone Hollow, and saw some really beautiful homes (probably nothing under $2M). Back down into lower Bountiful for a bit of shopping and a spot of lunch.
Had thought about heading to a state park about an hour north, that is actually an island in the Salt Lake. But by then clouds were starting to roll in and you could feel a change coming. So we headed back to the park so Robin could do some outside work in preparation for leaving tomorrow. They are forecasting rain tonight and snow tomorrow, so figured it would be best to get the car hooked up, and as much stuff as possible packed up and put away while it was still dry and reasonably warm.

Our adventure is slowly winding down. From here on I think there will be a minimal amount of sightseeing, other than what we see from our "mobile suite" (saw this on a 5th wheel and thought it was a perfect description).
Until next time dear followers, you're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on.
