Salt Lake City, UT

5/10/2015 Sunny 74 deg. F today.  We left Pocatello, Idaho  and our visit with Aaron, Kimberly, Logan, and Peyton last evening.  We stayed at Sam's Club last night.  Quiet and we sleep well. We are heading toward Salt Lake City today via I-15 to see the Mormon Tabernacle .  Aaron was very helpful giving us different routes to take.  We chose the safe less scenic route because of the snow predicted.  We still enjoyed the drive.  Snow top mountains are beautiful. We continued South to Provo, Utah .  Becky and I went to Ruby Steak House to celebrate Mother's Day.  We enjoyed a good Prime Rib dinner, then back to Sam's Club parking lot for the night. I'm

The outstanding feature of the 625-acre park is the spring, overlooking beautiful Spring Garden Run, producing 19 million gallons of water a day at 72 degrees year-round.  The swimming area is accessible by stairs, ramp and a swimmer lift.  Lifeguards are provided during the summer months only and pets are not allowed in or near the swimming area.  SCUBA Diving is limited to classes by certified instructors only.  Snorkeling is a popular activity, but access to the cave is prohibited.   If you prefer to stay above the water, canoes, paddleboats, and kayaks may be rented from the park's concession.  The park's paddling trail provides access to the 22,000 acres Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge, with lakes, creeks, and marshes to explore.  The free boat ramp, with dock, can accommodate boats up to about 20 feet, with the St. Johns River a distance of about 10 miles.  Fishing is excellent in the spring run from the shore...

Lake Louisa, Florida State Parks Video

A short drive from Orlando, this 4,500-acre park is noted for its beautiful lakes, rolling hills, and scenic landscapes. Lake Louisa, the largest in a chain of 13 lakes, is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water Way. Lake Louisa, Hammond Lake and Dixie Lake, the park’s most accessible lakes, provide opportunities for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The park is home to 11 distinct natural plant communities and lies within the easternmost boundary of the Green Swamp (Area of Critical State Concern) and the northernmost boundary of the Lake Wales Ridge. The presence of white-tail deer, bobcat, fox squirrel, raccoon, gopher tortoise, bald eagle, osprey and cypress fringed lakes makes nature study a great pastime. The park is located on US Highway 27, seven miles south of State Road 50 in Clermont. History still resurfaces today. During the 2001 drought, when the lake level dropped, two prehistoric dugout canoes were found in LakeLouisa. Later that year, remnan...
