With 9 people coming for supper tonight, Kay and I headed to the grocery store to pick up some last minute supplies. Once we got back, the three of us headed over to Mount Pleasant so that Kay could sees her friend and say goodbye before she heads to Arizona.
Of course we can't just travel by the highway, we have to go over the mountains on a back road.
Big Hollow Road took us through some pretty awesome scenery and we managed to even see a few mule deer along the way. They certainly were not too terribly concerned about us as they stood quite calmly while we took their picture.
It was snowing pretty good along the way and the snow added to the beauty of the country side. It truly was awesome to see the juniper trees dusted with the snow.
Big Hollow Road was not that long and we were soon on the highway to Mount Pleasant. It was nasty and a snow plow sure could have been used. One vehicle in front of us actually did a complete 360. He was coming towards us and did his little spin out and must have decided to call it a day as he continued on back the way he had come!!
We arrived at our destination and unfortunately, Kay's friend was not available. She is the owner of the bar in Mount Pleasant so we had a couple cool ones and headed back to Nephi. We had company coming for supper!!
We took another obscure little road back to the highway to Nephi and managed to see three more mule deer. They too were not in a hurry to leave and we managed to get a few more pics.
Once we accessed the highway, we made good time but had to stop for a herd of sheep. They were helter skelter all over the road so traffic was backed up both ways.
Finally, back at Nephi, we got things going for supper and a campfire started. Company arrived and we sat around the fire chatting while the ribs and the potatoes cooked.
Eventually everyone was fed and our guests left. All in all, it turned out rather nice and was a great way to connect with friends we met last year.
It was a good and productive day. Tomorrow is football and our Riders are going for the Western final. Hopefully they win and we will be going to the Grey Cup Game. Go Riders Go!!
