Our site with a nice view















Jordanelle is located in a scenic mountain setting near Heber City and Park City. Jordanelle Reservoir was created when Jordanelle Dam was built on the Provo River as a water storage for the Central Utah Project. There's a lot of water activities here, especially in the summer. They have a lot of day use picnicking areas along with the two different camping areas. We're staying at the Hailstone Campground. The views are amazing.


Sep 28     Jordanelle State Park - Fillmore, UT     136 miles     3 hours

We drove for 3 hours today to Fillmore, Utah. When we left Jordanelle State Park and got on highway 189, the scenery was awesome. We're spending the night at Wagon West RV Park. Pretty decent campground just to overnight. They offer a Passport America rate so we get 50% off. Full hook-ups for $22, can't beat that.
Very nice scenery on Hwy 189

It's a waterfall


Sep 29     Fillmore - Hurricane, UT   148 miles  2 hrs 45 mins

Drove to Hurricane, Utah today. The campground is called WillowWind RV Park. Very nice here, with lots of shade. They gave a Good Sam rate of $35 per night. They also have a weekly rate starting at $210 and a monthly rate starting at $395 plus electric.





The location is very good. About 25 minutes from Zion National Park and about 2 hours from Las Vegas. We paid for three nights. Will stay tonight, tomorrow we leave the RV and drive the car to Vegas to pick up our daughter Miki and niece Keahi who will be joining us for the next few days. Will drive back to WillowWind on Thursday then head to Zion. We're very anxious to see the girls, we miss family.



Sep 30  Las Vegas

We left the RV at WillowWind and drove the Kia to Vegas today. Checked in at Sam's Town for our 1 night complimentary room and drove downtown to meet Papa Rudy and Uncle Mike. They've been in Vegas for about a week and fly home tomorrow morning. We found them in Golden Nugget on the blackjack table. We ended up playing for a while, made some  money, then went to dinner at Claim Jumper in the Golden Nugget. Was really nice hanging out with them, they are a blast!

We met Keahi back at Sam's Town. She flew in from Colorado, where she's a student at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. So happy Keahi's able to join us.

Oct 01  Back to WillowWind

Miki flew into Las Vegas early this morning, so happy to see her! We went back to Sam's to have her rest a bit, went to In-N-Out to get some burgers for lunch, then on our way back to WillowWind to start our adventure with Miki and Keahi.
Keahi, Joe, and Miki ready to start our adventure
