Cabela's Parking Lot: Part 4 (by Caleb)

-

The next place we drove to was another fun time at a Cabela's parking lot.

While we were there we all got trims at Sports Clips.

The next day mom, Asher, Jordan, and I drove to two wildlife preserves named The Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve and The Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. At the first one we walked to two big structures and viewed birds from them.

We had to drive a long scenic drive to get to the second.

We saw different kinds of birds and fish, which was cool. They had a nice visitor center there with telescopes for viewing birds and had stuffed birds in flying and walking positions all throughout a room.

We walked around a lake there too.

That night we watched a movie.

The next day we drove to Antelope Island State Park. When we got there we drove to ladyfinger point. Ladyfinger point smelled awful from the brine shrimp and brine shrimp flies. We quickly walked back to the car after seeing the view.

After the point we all drove to the visitor center. We continued along the scenic drive to an old ranch which had a self guided tour of the different parts of the house, barn, and other buildings around.

When we were done we continued on the scenic drive to the end of the road. Later we drove back to the visitor center to get our Junior Ranger badges.

After that we drove home.

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...
