September begins for us at a lovely camp in the aspen forest on Badger Mountain.
Manti La Sal National Forest, east of Ephraim, Utah
The bleating of sheep filters down the hillside to our camp.
One day a tree blocks the only road out and a fellow camper removes it for us.
After several days we move south to Salina and turn east.
Here’s our camp at Gooseberry Campground in Fishlake National Forest.
A scouting mission in the Perfect Tow Vehicle results in the discovery of several boondock sites.
Soon the Best Little Trailer is set up next to a ridge near aspens and open fields.
Oak Ridge Road camp, off the Gooseberry-Fremont Road
During this camp we are visited by wild turkeys and a small herd of cows, the latter run off by The Reginator.
The crew and I enjoy several walks on trails through the forest.
During our stay the leaves turn from shades of green . . .
. . . to bright yellow!
We witness the drama of a calf that finds itself in the wrong place at the wrong time!
And Reggie tries to impress a mule with his fancy moves!
As you can see, this boondock on Oak Ridge Road is in a very picturesque location.
Beautiful scenes abound! I have a great time with my camera. I love photographing horses, and photographing horses with aspens, even more so!
We continue our journey southward through Utah, past Otter Creek Reservoir (too low, too hot) to the town of Junction.
West of town we make camp next to a creek, after crossing a shallow spillway. This is City Creek Recreation Area in Fishlake National Forest.
The next morning the crew and I discover a better camp, only a short distance up the road.
This spot is so enchanting I name it Camp Charming.
On many walks through the forest and on excursions in the PTV, autumn light and colors brighten our days.
From grand views of mountainsides to small arrangements on the forest floor, beauty is everywhere!
The crew and I have fun exploring the bank of the noisy creek that tumbles along the edge of our campsite.
On Friday the 25th, however, I discover that the Perfect Tow Vehicle won’t start!
A jump start from weekend campers and we’re soon moving out of Camp Charming to camp at the RV park behind Stan’s Mercantile in the center of Circleville, a town near Junction.
Rather than fret about the PTV, I order take-out from the pizza place next to the RV park. The crew and I stroll the streets of Circleville.
On Sunday the 27th, the solar panel has charged the PTV’s battery sufficiently for it to start!
Off we go northward to take care of this problem!
We camp overnight at the Wal-Mart in Richfield.
The next morning the PTV receives a new battery and we’re good to go!
Oops! Shoulda’ got gas!
It’s a harrowing drive on Interstate-70 through the Pavant Range because we’re riding on “empty!” We make it to a gas station on the other side of the mountains. I gas up the PTV and we continue south to the town of Beaver, Utah.
East of town we pull into a convenient boondock.
Our camp soon acquires the feel of “home” for the three of us!
September slips quietly into October . . .
Bridget, Reggie and I use this pleasant, riverside camp as a base for exploring the area.
