Flaming Gorge

Our last destination of the summer was Flaming Gorge in Utah with Jen’s cousins. We had a great site at Lucerne Campground. It was right on the edge of the plateau with a short walk down to the water.

There were prairie dogs all around and red tail hawks in a nearby nest, as well as pronghorns on the way in. The kids spent a good amount of time just watching the wildlife.

Once the cousins arrived the little kids spent all their time riding scooters with walkie talkies. It is a great investment for any RV both for fun and communication. The kids enjoy playing with them with new friends and we keep one at the RV so we can hear them and call them home when needed.

During the day we also spent time on the water. Being the middle of the week there were not many other people around and the lake was calm. We paddled and swam a few times. We would have spent more time out there, but a thunder storm along the opposite edge of the lake meant we had high winds all afternoon and spent a lot of time in the RVs.

We enjoyed marshmallows, campfires, popcorn, movies, and star watching at night. The second night, after the storm, the sky was clear and we stayed up late enjoying the night sky. It was a great relaxing nothing to do but be together kind of way to end our summer adventures. We are spending one more evening at Jen’s cousins and then heading toward home.
