When we visit Joe and Andy's place

When we visit Joe and Andy's place, we can almost expect some new artistic work.  This time I was impressed by the iron sculpture hanging on the wall of the front visiting room.  This is really cool with the shades of color dispersed throughout the metal.

On the way out of Vernal, almost to Roosevelt, is a large ranch gate, also made out of iron.  I wonder if the same company made this piece of art?

In a little town called Heber City is a fast food place.  "Home of the Train" is not its name, but rather it's motto.  Heber is the host town for the Heber Creeper, a nifty actual size restored train that takes tourists' down the scenic Provo canyon and back.  The point of departure is really kind of cool, with a little ghost town and museum you can walk through.

Along the south side of the fast food place, as you can see in the above pic, is homemade train the owners created in order to add decorative interest to their business.

Even the inside of the restaurant has the train motif, with a working model actively running around the outside of the ceiling.  This place is really cute, and the burgers are good, which is why it is busy all the time and the other places in town aren't, I suppose.

Anyway, the last piece of art, that I will mention here, in Joe and Andy's home, is on the wall of the inside down staircase.  The whole wall is done with an oil base stain applied with a crumpled-up plastic grocery bag,  and the print is of a natural formation in a place called Fantasy Canyon outside Vernal.  Yes, this place actually exists.  I have been there, and if you desire to experience this natural wonder, you better go soon as weathering is at work, not to mention potential vandals.  

After arriving home from Vernal,  I made preparations for another interesting trip to the west side of the state, only this time Grandma Zucc stayed home, and I went wilderness camping with Mike's family, minus Katie.  So be sure to check back in a few days to read about this wild adventure.  Also I have some hilarious pics to share with you.
