HONEYVILLE UTAH

We've been staying at the Crystal Hot Springs campground in Honeyville Utah the past few days.  Honeyville has nothing except the Hot Springs and some residential properties.  The Hot Springs claims to  be one of the country's top ten; however, we've visited many in Colorado that are much better.  The place is old, over-used & abused, and in serious need of cleaning and basic maintenance.  It's OK for a couple nights, but not somewhere I would want to spend any length of time.

We're parked on the edge of the property (they wanted to put us in a site in the middle, and the space was about half as long as we need) and our back window [the office] looks out on an alfalfa field and mountains in the near distance.  The farmer mowed the alfalfa yesterday.  Here's some shots taken from inside the trailer:

There are large praying mantis here, and the one below was hanging onto the side of trailer this morning; it's 3-4" long and looked to be full of eggs.  Jamie put it on his leg to illustrate the size.

We leave here early tomorrow and head southeast to the little town of Price Utah.  We reserved one night at a small RV park a few miles north of Price and may stay there longer.  Alternatives are to find a spot to 'boondock' in the northern part of the San Rafael Desert/Swell or head to another location farther south -- we just haven't determined where.  It's a little early to be camped remotely out in the canyons as it is rainy season and flash flooding is the norm; we're not into getting stranded somewhere with this big rig!
