Over The Mountain And Through The Snow!

Springtime weather.....you've gotta love it! Wild and unpredictable. Winter holding on as tightly as it can and spring desperate to make its appearance.


That's the way it is here in Utah anyway :)


One day I'm taking a picture of Fuddrucker sunning himself on Old Blue then the next day a crazy snowstorm moves in.


Laura and I drove up to Logan yesterday. She went to decorate her sons college dorm room door for his upcoming birthday. Our church, Alpine Church, has 3 campuses ( that's what we call our church buildings ). We have one in Logan and I went to talk to the campus pastor about getting some clean teams set up for that campus. We don't pay anyone to clean our campuses. It's all volunteer from church members.


This is what we ran into going over Sardine Canyon. There were probably 6-8 cars that slid off and one fender bender.



Alpine's Logan campus is in the old Maranatha Baptist Church building and before that it was a LDS ward. It's 100 years old or so. Below is a picture of one of its beautiful old windows. So much character :)


Logan is a wonderful old town. It was incorporated as a city in January 1866. Laura and I plan on going back in May and exploring more of the shops and taking pictures of the many beautiful old buildings. I'm not sure what the building below is. I snapped the picture as we were turning a corner.


We decided to grab dinner before heading back home. We went to the Coppermill Restaurant on Main Street. The building was full of different shops like an art gallery, barber shop, antique store and the restaurant was on the upper level. We were so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the food! It was amazing! We both got the Logan River Pasta.......oh my :) Breaded chicken tenderloins, real bacon chunks, tomatoes over a bed of linguine with a mouth watering, creamy, alfredo sauce. Plus homemade dinner rolls. What more could a girl ask for? At that moment not much!!


This was the view from our table.......the Logan tabernacle.


It was a great afternoon :) These next 2 pictures I took from our front door shortly after I got home. I love the blue in the sky!

  1. Jan,

    I love Maranatha church. Both my kids attended there while at USU. Such character. I think the building you snapped as you turned is the courthouse. While checking out things in Logan, don't forget the Bluebird Cafe on Main Street and try some Aggie Ice Cream on campus.
