Starvation Lake
Today was a travel day. We left Bear Lake and drove through the border country between Utah and Wyoming towards Evanston. It is cattle country, high and it would be dry, except that parts of it are irrigated.
At Evanston we stopped and bought a new electric heater for the trailer. The old one we had was very unreliable, and last night quit working after a few minutes of use. Since it went down to 2 C overnight we needed the warmth.
Red rock cliffs along the highway
The drive was very pretty. Along the way we passed a lot of red rock areas. As we turned off I80 to highway 40 we started to climb over the Wasatch mountains. We went to 8020 feet, before descending to Starvation Lake at 5750 feet. This campground has a few more people in it than the one we were in last night, but not many. We are in what seems to be a very new part of the campground. We aren’t quite sure what the cost is. The sign says both $23 and $28, but when we walked to the other campsite by the beach, each site was posted at either $20 or $16. They were obvious, but this one is not, so we paid the $23.
The lake is a reservoir. A few boats were out on the lake, but not too many. It was very windy this afternoon as we arrived here. The sky is clear, and it wasn’t too warm out today, so it may be colder tonight.
