Provo, UtahWe are in Lakeside RV-Park on west Center Street in Provo next door to Utah Lake State Park located on Utah Lake. We forgot all about Memorial Day until late last week when "the lights came on". Joyce immediately got on the cell-phone and started trying to find a place for us to settle in for the long Memorial Day weekend. She got lucky and found the last vacancy at Lakeside RV-Park. That is why we are here but we are happy to be here. It is a nice park costing 27.41 per-night for FHU and plenty of shade from mature cottonwood trees. Down the street is Utah Lake State Park where rates are $18 per-night for water & electric and central dump station. They were full or we would have probably been there. Either would be just fine in our opinion although Lakeside RV is much nicer and overflows with more expensive RV's if you get my drift.

Huge willow tree
We stopped to take a picture of this large willow tree. Look closely at the size of this trunk. This tree was located on west Center Street near Utah Lake State Park and the campground we were staying in. I could not believe the size of the trunk on that willow tree.
Grain field in the valley surrounding Utah Lake near Provo, Utah
This is one of the unidentified grain fields in the south valley. I wish I knew more about grain identification but all grains look so similar to us.
