Devils Kitchen to Eureka

Halloween 2015.
What's more Halloween-y than going Ghost Town hunting!!

 Friday 10/30
We got a late start to the day but since we weren't going far it didn't matter.
 Someone was very excited to go adventuring!

First stop was the Nebo Loop Byway to The Devils Kitchen.
Devils Kitchen.. very Halloween-y.




 It was VERY cold at 8351 - 8372 feet.. and I wasn't ready for it so I slipped on my car sweats (sweats that stay in the car for emergencies like this) and Derek's other jacket.  He said I looked like a hobo.

 Had a picnic lunch..



 They say it's like a Little Bryce Canyon...
the hodos part yes, but these rock formations were more conglomerate. 


 We went on a little hike, Ragnar wanted to naw on this tree..
Then chew the ice off the platform.. 
Example of super erosion...


Turkeys! HUGE TURKEYS!!!!! (I thought they were boulders.. then they started moving..)
 Tons of little turkeys!!!

Now taking the "scenic" way out.. HWY 132 towards Delta


 Made it to Eureka.. 
 The "Destroying Angel's" Cabin
again.. very halloween-y




 Loved this church

 Main Street
 Grade School











We tried to find Paul Bunyan's woodpile, but ended up traveling down random dirt roads.  It was getting late so we turned down another dirt road and EUREKA! We found the BLM sign, we were on the right road.  We drove for a bit, saw a spot we liked and set up camp. We spent the night telling ghost stories and getting stepped on by Ragnar (we camped in the car).
