SALT LAKE CITY AREA - Ogden

September 11-12,2009

We traveled to Layton where we had a bumpy entrance into the Circle L Mobile Home Community (Rv's welcome).  The speed bump was at an angle which wrecks havoc with our air suspension system

It was  pleasant  with grass, shade trees and laundry.

In Downtown  Ogden, UT we saw several metal sculptures  of children.  We went to the Farmer's Market and came away with a few purchases.  Mostly eatables and a carving idea for Bernice.

We had heard about The Taste of Ogden at Wolf Mountain so stopped there.

They sold tickets for 50 cents and the different foods took one or more tickets.  We ate spinach & goat cheese enchiladas , crab cakes and mini bison burgers.  It was all good.

The resort was offering chair lift rides so we took one.   The view of the festival  and surrounding area was great.  We spent some time at the top looking around before returning to the bottom.
