Thursday was going to be only a travel day; a long way to drive to get home. We took our time getting ready as there really was no rush; nothing scheduled at all. The lady at the front desk recommended "The Bunnery"; we got there just in time as right after we were seated a huge line formed. The food was good, filling, and moderately healthy; there were Oats, Sunflower, and Millet (O.S.M.) in about everything.
From there we pushed north through Star Valley and into Idaho and Bear Lake; stopping in Garden City, Utah right at the junction for lunch and a raspberry shake. Merlin's was where we stopped; I've been there 3 times now and have stopped at a different place each time.
The Logan river was full but not in flood stage; I guess down in Ogden canyon they had flooding. The water features of the trip were full; no drought in the north. I guess we were lucky that the snow had melted enough to do some of the things that we did! Since it was a Thursday we knew we'd encounter traffic in Ogden and Salt Lake; luckily the HOV lane kept us moving reasonably well.
And now it's Friday; a day of rest and relaxation recovering from the road. If I could have done the trip differently I would have extended it by a couple of days but centered in the Old Faithful area at the Inn or Lodge. I would have liked to have spent more time wandering around the Upper Geyser basin; we missed Daisy, Geyser Hill, and the hike out to Morning Glory Pool. I guess we have to go back!
