Since
the Iron Horse offered no breakfast we stopped at McDonalds before continuing
south into Sanpete and Sevier
Counties. The most memorial cache for me in these
counties was Chief Blackhawk which was one of two caches we got commemorating
the Blackhawk war. My comment for this
one that it looked like the Chief was a body builder.
In
order to pick up Piute
County we were going to
have to do an out and back route down to Marysvale. In planning the route I was disappointed to
have to make this sort of detour but it turned out to be well worth it. Highway 89 down to Marysvale was a beautiful
ride and we got a cache right across from the Big Rock Candy Mountain
(one of my favorite childhood songs sung by Burl Ives).
We
enjoyed our ride back out of Piute
County and got on the
Interstate
heading west and then south toward Beaver. We hurriedly picked up a couple of caches in Beaver as we could see a thunderstorm approaching. Just as the storm hit we pulled off into a gas station/restaurant with a roof over the gas pumps. Yancey was really in luck because not only did he not have rain gear but it was noon and the restaurant was a Mexican one. It was a real downpour and it was nice to have a leisurely lunch in a dry spot. By the time we finished the storm had pretty much abated but I donned my rain gear anyway. I was glad I had because we hit another fairly fierce burst of rain after getting back on the Interstate. Fortunately it was brief and the sun soon returned before we stopped for the next cache. Yancey’s larger windshield had kept him from getting too wet.

What a nice treat to stay and Uncle Chuck's and Aunt Joanne's!
I guess Yancey is still known for snoring, huh?
Yep.
Hey, come on. I did bring ear plugs for the old man, and we all know how his hearing is...
Yancey -- LOL. He's not hard of hearing when it comes to barking dogs and snoring.
