10-25-08 Saturday (RV For A Tent Trade)

Since starting the blog, there's been about 3 comments pertaining to who's taking the pictures of Jim and I. I wanted to clarify this issue. As you've guessed, Dasher has taken them. I take the scenic pictures (Dasher's too short) while Dasher takes the pictures of Jim and I. He's not perfect in his picture taking abilities and naturally those are the ones I don't usually post. Here's a couple of pictures I've rejected for blog publishing.


Poor thing, sometimes he's all paws when snapping photos.





Clearly, he's been getting into adult photo shoots with Clea on OUR bed!



We made it to Salt Lake City today. I drove the RV about 50-60 miles worth and then gave it back to Jim with "OK, you can drive." I hadn't driven it for a long time. The hardest thing is keeping it within the lines. It constantly wants to roam the road. I felt like a drunk monkey with epilepsy. The constant steering corrections are annoying. Hopefully that will be resolved next week.


We're staying at Mountain Shadows in Draper, UT right next to a Camping World. The campground screwed up the reservation and listed us for a tent site. This place is full so we're in a site that doesn't have sewer. We'll have to manage until Monday when a site clears out. I was pretty annoyed but left the office before I'd say things I'd regret.


After setup, we went to Costco, Lowes, Applebee's and then Wal-Mart. At Wal-Mart we just picked up somethings for now but will need to go back in a few days once we figure out when the awning fiasco damage will get repaired.


It's so strange seeing so much traffic and so many stores. It's been so quiet and now the opposite. Today was the first time we've driven on an Interstate since Denver to Ouray. Jim has pointed out that I complained when it was too underdeveloped and now I'm complaining about the big city.


Honestly I'm too tired to go into more details about the campground tonight, it will have to wait until tomorrow.

  2. After all the challenges of the open road you guys have faced over the past few weeks, I wish you both the best in Salt Lake City with the repairs etc. With luck, it'll be a good time to regroup, recharge, restock and ... I can't think of another 're-'.

  5. Sonia, we've not heard of this naked Halloween thing but we will refrain. I don't want someone coming up and saying "I love your costume, how did you make yourself look fat and naked?"
