Utah Dream Days: Paiute Reservoir Camping, Wildfire Scoopers & Real Road-Life Wins

We pulled into Paiute Reservoir (Utah) to an empty shoreline, glassy water, and a hard reset on gratitude. This is the life we once dreamed about—now we’re living it. In this episode: lakeside camping, wildfire scooper planes skimming water, camper-vs-tent comfort in the heat, and the honest truck fixes that keep us rolling.

Full notes:

North of Junction and near Marysvale, Utah, we scored a serene two-night spot at Paiute Reservoir (Paiute State Park)—quiet, roomy, and jaw-dropping sunsets. Between early drives to beat the heat and lakeside work sessions, we kept reminding ourselves: this is the dream we worked for.
