Evanston...... By Accident

Okay, so last Saturday was a day that Brandon and I had the ability to be together so we decided to head up to Causey Reservoir up Ogden Canyon. It's a little ways beyond Pine View Reservoir. It is a really nice change from Pine View because Pine View is always SO VERY crowded with boats and jet skiers and it's really obnoxious. But this new place only allowed non-motor kayaks and paddle boats. The water was really high and cold to swim in, but it was fun nonetheless. We brought Lexi with us, though she has quite the aversion to water. We thought it would be a little cooler up there when we went, but it was warmer! We swam for a little while, then got in the car and drove up over the mountain a little ways. We saw a sign that said that Woodruff, Utah - 3 miles. We thought we would stop by for a look-see! Well we drove, and we drove and we drove and we drove. While the drive was beautiful, we really ended up in the middle of nowhere, arriving finally to Woodruff. The size of the town was just about 10 people smaller than Cambridge, Idaho where Brandon is from. At least Cambridge has a stop sign, and a service station, and signs of intelligent life! There was NO ONE out and about in Woodruff, so it was hard to believe that 350 people lived there. We saw another sign that said that Evanston was only 20 miles away, so we thought, "Why the heck not??" so we drove on through to Evanston. On the way, there was a nature reserve where we saw an absolute TON of antelope! It was really cool, and the babies were adorable! In Evanston, we stopped to get gas, change our clothes, ate and Arbys, and then drove home.

Although it was COMPLETELY unintentional, we had a good time taking another mini road trip!
