Each year for our Anniversary ( 41 years now) we try and plan a unique way to celebrate and this year it started at Elk Ridge, Utah at 6:34 am.
Quick stops ✋ at Starbucks for Lin and conveniently a Taco 🌮 Bell 🔔 serving breakfast was right next door.
A few minutes later we were parked outside the Marriott Center on the Campus of Brigham Young University. It was some 7-8 hours before Tip of the Women’s game but it gave us ample time to take in the beauty of the place on our way up to Logan ( Utah State ). We knew that later on the schedule would be very tight so the sightseeing happened sooner than later.
Utah Valley University is located just a few miles down the road in Orem.

One brief stop on the 2+ hour drive to the top of the State took place at a gas station ⛽. The drive was non-stop 9,000+ mountains, easy on the eyes 👀.
I was absolutely 💯% Blown Away by the crowd at Utah State !!!! No way it wouldn’t make any Top Ten list in the Country…
Next stop ✋ was in Ogden at Weber State where their most famous Alum is back as their General Manager.
3pm MT update : on the Campus of D2 Westminster University where the Griffins are hosting Colorado State University – Pueblo in a Women’s and Men’s Basketball 🏀 doubleheader.
Women played double overtime!
