Modes of transportation in rural Utah

Since we arrived yesterday we have seen teenagers and children on the main roads and side roads with ATVs, bikes, scooters and go-carts (some carrying rifles). Adults have passed by on horseback and in a surrey-with-fringe-on-top pulled by two ponies, on tractors and front end loaders. It seems that whatever has an engine, wheels or hooves is road-worthy and street-legal here in mid-Utah. Strange but fun.

We had a couple pull in next to us this afternoon that had just come from Yellowstone N.P. They told Denny the eastern half of the north loop of the park that we explored this past Wednesday was closed due to heavy snowfall this weekend. I guess we picked a good time to go and an even better time to leave! Snow in September is just way too early for me, thank you very much.
