Twinkle, Twinkle Little (Shooting) Star

 With the truck back in Utah and mostly working... we've finally, FINALLY been able to satisfy our Off-roading cravings.  Ahhh.. it felt so good to get out exploring the beauty that is right in our back yard!!

 We explored Farmington Canyon for the first time and took Skyline Dr. all the way to Bountiful.  We've tried this road before (from the Bountiful end) and got less than half way before we ran into a "road closed" sign. 

 About a week later we ventured back up Farmington Canyon and found a perfect camping spot to sleep out under the stars (in the back of the truck) for the meteor shower.  We were a little concerned, with all the smoke and clouds, that we wouldn't even be able to see any, but we decided to try it out anyway.

It wasn't quite as good at first, but we both ended up waking up around 2 am and watched the sky for another hour and a half or so.  The sky had finally cleared up and we saw SO many!  Some Huge ones as well! 

It was perfection. 
   
Our beloved "Turbo"... and so much sexier without the shell on :)
