This time we snagged a beautiful creek side site with lots of cottonwood trees. There are about ten sites along the canyon road. The canyon is narrow so expect some dust from the road.
The first day we were in the middle of a Mormon cricket migration. They must have been recently hatched because they weren’t stopping to eat. They were just moving en masse across the road and through the campsites – so many that it was hard to walk with out stepping on them. They didn’t even let the creek stop them. They just jumped in and let the current carry them across or climbed on logs and continued their journey. After about a day and a half they were mostly gone. Water Canyon 40.92978, -117.6744
Since I apparently have no life, I just Googled "Mormon Cricket Recipes." You let a lot of good protein just hop away. There are many delicious ways to prepare crickets. You go first.
