Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, totally worn out, shouting "Wow...What a Ride!"

Starvation State Park

May 22-24, 2016

Sunday we were on the road by 10am headed to Duchesne UT and Starvation State Park. An interesting ride with a summit of 9100' on US 191, about 30 miles south of Duchesne the 4+ mile climb to the top starts, 8% grade most of the way. The descent is 2+ miles of 8% and many miles of 4-5% grades. Makes us really appreciate the Chevy 3500 diesel dually we now have. We arrived at Starvation SP about 2, what a welcome change. We have a beach front site, only 3 other campers and not a rental rv to be found, what a great place to spend a few days decompressing. 


Monday neither one of us felt like going anywhere so we enjoyed a long walk, got the canoe in the water...Dave caught himself some lunch, spent some time reading along the shoreline and ended the day with a campfire. What a great day...loving our full time rv lifestyle.








Tuesday neither one of wanted to go anywhere again. With great Verizon wifi I spent the day catching up the blog from our Capitol Reef NP visit and Dave went fishing. No pictures but it was a wonderful day spent relaxing and enjoying the moment.

Until next time...

  1. Yeah, a great way indeed to decompress with no ins and outs of tourists in rental RVs. To top it, Dave caught some fish for your dinner. What a life!
    The last two sunset shots are pretty cool.

  2. Those sound like two wonderful days. Your pictures are relaxing too. Love the 3 marchers and the sunsets. Looks like a place I need to visit.
