9-17-16 - Heat Escape - Day 37

                                                                   Good Morning

We ate steak and eggs for breakfast, then packed our picnic lunch and headed toward Flaming Gorge Dam.  It was a beautiful ride, with 8% grades and lots of curves. We took our time stopping along the way taking pictures.  It got cold, 56 degrees on the summit.





We continued on our beautiful ride to the dam.  We decided to take the walking tour of the dam.  Awesome dam tour guide.  She was very informative, not only about the dam but about other things in the area to see and do.

We left the dam and drove to the Wyoming state line, only about 10 miles. We went back across the dam and went to Red Canyon.  Gorgeous!, and we saw big horn sheep and turkeys.





We continued on our journey to the Sheep Creek Geological Loop, this was an amazing drive.  We made it back to Highway 44 to look at kokanee salmon.   It was 4:30 pm and we hadn't ate lunch yet.  We stood by the Harley and ate our lunch then went to look for the salmon.  We found a few.




We took highway 44 to highway 191 to Vernal then home.  We saw at least 10 mule deer on the way back across the pass.  It was still in the 50's across the summit.  We scooted on down  the 8% grade, 10 curves in a mile, or whatever the sign said.





Of course, when we got home, Fernykat was ready to go outside.  She got cold and went in earlier than us.  We took a few sunset pics and called it a night.
