Utah Road Trip Diaries: Day 13 started
with dropping Daniel at his training and the morning coffee for me while
the kids rode bikes in their pjs. We read a few books on dinosaurs
before heading to to Dinosaur Park in Ogden. It was a very age
appropriate park for my kids but I probably wouldn’t take order kids
here (better to go to SLC to the Natural History Museum). We spent most
of the afternoon at the park bc the lock on the camper broke and I
didn’t know how to get back in. Daniel later reminded me we could have
gotten in through the toy hauler door. Instead we had a late lunch at
McDs so the kids could play inside until we picked D up at 4:30. We
wanted to mountain bike but the camper lock had to be taken apart first.
By 6pm we were headed up to Blacksmith Canyon to look for a recommended
mountain bike trail. We found a herd of free range cows first. We
finally got on our trail but it proved to be too advanced for taking
kids. Mostly uphill, rocky, narrow, and loose dusty dirt. We cut the
ride short and the boys had fun riding down the gravel road after the
cows. The cows turned out to be a highlight! We had a late dinner of
grilled burgers at the campsite and the guys tried to light a campfire.
The wind was against us though and our super dry wood refused to ignite.
