Utah!
Rattlesnake Pass...
The lake is sure low...
The Marina...
Before we head to our campsite, though, we needed to stop at the sani-dump. Steve asked at the gate where it was...she said it's by the Visitors Center. Well it's not marked at all, so we take the road that goes up to the Visitors Center...now, had the parking lot been full, we would have been in big trouble! With no sign of it anywhere, I ran into the Visitors Center to ask...go back down the hill to the stop sign and turn left...it's a little further along, on the left.

The gravel road to White Rock Bay Campground...
We had no idea that the campsites are in clusters of three...our site was #6, and the clusters aren't marked, so we had a heck of a time finding our site. Finally, we determined that we had driven past it...we were in a cluster that already had a large fifth-wheel in it. We were greeted by the Winn family from eastern Utah, so we introduced ourselves as their new best friends. Because the sites are so unlevel Jeremy made suggestions on the best way to situate the trailer to get as level as possible and they didn't mind us being a little close to accomplish this.
After some maneuvering and spotting from our neighbours, we were in...and a couple of hours later, we were all set up! Steve went out and took some pictures. The Winn's are expecting friends who will be taking the other site. By the way, Jeremy (I'm pretty sure that's his name) and his wife have five kids that must vary in age from around 5 to 15 or 16. They invited us to join them for dinner later...they were cooking ribs and 'taters' in the dutch oven.
Ahhh...time to relax...it was hot out!
Once the mosquitoes came out...and the flies got so bad, we decided to head inside...it was getting close to dinner time anyway. Although we had declined their offer of dinner, Jeremy's wife and daughter brought over a plate with a sample of his 'ribs and taters'...delicious!
And with the sunset came the end to our last travel day for a few days. We are looking forward to exploring the island tomorrow...before the rain sets in!
the trials and tribulations of finding a sani dump and your site!
