Two of my chapters were pretty far out of the way and both in the Uinta Basin area, so I decided to make a road trip out of it and hit both in one trip. I headed down to Chase's parents house in Coalville so I'd be a little further ahead when I got up in the morning. From Coalville, I headed out past Kamas and over a mountain pass called Wolf Creek Pass.
It was absolutely beautiful! It's only open from about April-October, so I was lucky enough to get to go over it. The fall colors were amazing and I couldn't help but have a smile on my face the entire time. The smell of pine trees and fresh mountain air got me so excited to start my day. My destination: Tabiona. Population: 149. As I neared the end of the pass, I entered into a valley that is home to Hanna and Tabiona, Utah.
You can't really see the town but it's litteral just at the end of the rainbow in this picture :) Around the corner. It was a very quaint little ranching valley surrounded by mountains. A little peice of heaven on earth. Tabiona School reminds me a lot of Stilring School, but is half the size. It's K-12 and has about 8-10 kids in each class.
Mr. Jenkins is the ag teacher out there and he and his students were very welcoming. They aren't a very active chapter but great kids nonetheless. Their officer team took me out to lunch at the famous Hanna Cafe where we ate the greasy regular cafe food. They even took me off-roading a little bit! On his prep hour, Mr. Jenkins took me up to an elk ranch with the CTE director who was visiting. Mr. Jenkins is doing a lot of work at the lodge and so he wanted to show it to us. BEAUTIFUL. It's a 4,000 acre elk ranch up on the mountain and the lodge looks straight from what you'd see at a fancy ski resort in Vail, Colorado. When my visit in Tabiona was done, I sadly headed on the road towards Roosevelt and Vernal. (I met up with a friend from EFY in Vernal and chatted a while before I headed to Manila)
