Yesterday was the first day we went off course from our scheduled RV Park plan. Chris always researches our route and reserves spots at parks along the way with good reviews. We were planning on stopping at Huntington State Park in Utah but the wildfires had other plans for us. Instead we ended up in Fillmore, Utah which was originally the capital of the Utah territory, designated by Brigham Young himself in 1851.
Located in the center of the territory, it seemed like a good spot for the capital and the town Fillmore, named after President Millard Fillmore, was laid out. Construction began on the capitol but funding ran out after only one wing of the building was complete. Being out in the middle of nowhere, the town never prospered and Salt Lake City became the capital instead. The one wing of the capitol building still stands and is now a museum. Sadly, the museum was closed before I had a chance to drag Chris there with me to see it.
All I know is central Utah can get mighty windy.
The KOA campground we stayed at had good reviews and was very clean with lots of grassy areas. There’s just not much to do in the small town so it’s good for short stays, just like the short-lived capital.
The ferocious winds finally died down last night. We got to see a colorful sunset and a bright half moon. This morning was very pleasant at 75 degrees and sunny.
Look at all that grass:
Jack enjoyed stretching out with his Downward Facing Dog yoga pose:
We ate our cereal outside and then had to load up for another day on the road. Got to get back on plan.
