We got an early start because Dave wanted play pickleball in Utah, that over hiking the “Sound of Silence” through Moab-Wave-like rocks that I preferred - such tough choices.

We arrived in Heber City at 10:00 to find a busy, active pickleball scene even though it rained last night and was overcast with the occasional light sprinkle. The park features six beautiful courts, each fenced, plus another three in an adjacent area that was previously a tennis court. All this is surrounded by beautiful mountain views. We played two hours with great people (Maria, Craig, Isabel and Ginger). Isabel let us know there are many places to play in nearby Park City, where she lives, but the rain prevented play there.
Back on the road, we headed for the nearest brewery. Many were closed Mondays, or opened late afternoon, so we found ourselves in downtown Salt Lake City at Red Rock Brewery.

The thing about SLC, it’s pretty expensive. Parking at $8 a space (we took up 2+), lunch offerings at $20+, but the brewery was OK. I had a great citrus pale ale (after I asked for a taste and was later charged for the privilege). $60 + tip later, we were off to the dump station at the Granger Hunter Improvement District in West Valley City..and it was free.

All set for boondocking, we headed past the Salt Flats (our favorite spot) because it was still early and continued to Elko for dinner at La Fiesta .. but it’s closed on Mondays. So we hit another little Mexican Taqueria, fueled up and continued on. We made it as far as Winnemucca where we found a spot at the very popular BLM Water Canyon Recreation Area.
