Beaver KOA
Beaver, UT

Today we packed up and headed out of Salt Lake around 9am. The traffic going south on I-15 out of town was a little crazy, be we survived. We traveled south on I-15 for 196 miles. Our original plans were to stop in Nephi, UT for an overnight stay on the way to Beaver. We wanted to break up the 200 mile trip into shorter segments (because we're wimps)... but we decided to go ahead and make the run to Beaver. Since it was all interstate driving with a speed limit of 80 mph it went pretty fast. After stopping for lunch, we arrived in Beaver at around 12:30 pm.

The Beaver KOA is fairly nice. It is all gravel but the pull through sites are very big with plenty of room for both vehicles, with room to spare. There are nice shade trees and we even got a site with the back of the RV pointing away from the sun ( a big pet peeve of Marilyn's). Even with the trees we are able to get satellite TV...hooray (now we can watch the rest of the Olympics).

A view up the road..... you can see we're not very crowded here.

plenty of room for both vehicles...

Here is the typical  A frame KOA office... with the pool in the background.

...and our patio area with picnic table....

The plan is to be here for 8 days and go see Capital Reef National Park and then move 74 miles southeast to Panguitch, UT for a week and go see Bryce Canyon National Park. Capital Reef is 144 miles from here and Bryce is 70 miles. So we may decide to stay here  2 weeks and see them both from here. We have a pretty good setup here so it may be in our best interest to sit tight.... never expected to become more flexible the older I got ;>)
