Sun. 7/17… (Gypsum, CO) Today was a lazy day. We hung around the campground and let Bailey
run and swim a bit. The river is pretty fast in some places and they have
rafters coming down past our campground beach. We also spoke to Rick &
Janie. Seems they lost power late last
night. They have already moved once to a site with power but had to move again.
They came over to tell me they again have no power. I’m not sure what is going on but I found the
main breaker was tripped. I reset it and
we cycled everything back again. It’s
wait and see for a while. We watched tv
and hiked around the campground with Bailey but like I said - it was a lazy
day. Janie fixed a chicken casserole and
peas and carrots and later we drove into Gypsum for ice cream. There is NOTHING in this town so we went to
the grocery store and bought ice cream sandwiches, and then settled in for the
night.
Mon. 7/18… (Green River , UT )
Today’s drive was 213 miles so we
left about 9:00am. The drive was probably the most scenic to date. Plus getting
to Gypsum was all uphill and this drive today was almost all downhill.
We
made it to A OK RV Park (pa$17, tl$34), in Green River , UT.
The
park is ok. They are doing work but they
don’t have too many 50 amp sites so far.
Only one was available so we took a 30amp and gave R&J the 50amp
site. We are doing dinner tonight so our rig will warm up a bit but no worries.
Lydia
fixed a ground turkey/noodle casserole which was very good. We got a red flag
warning and the winds came up. Our
breaker on the power pole outside tripped once but we know where to look if it
happens again. I walked Bailey and
talked to a few neighbors (who are here long term) and then went in to finish
watching the Tour de France and then call it a night.
Tues. 7/19… (Green River , UT ) This
morning we went to find a place for breakfast. We found Tamarisk Restaurant, a
fairly new place in town adjacent to a new hotel. The food was ok, not a place
I’d go back to though. We drove around the town a bit and checked out the
grocery store for later and then went back to the rig to gather up all of the
laundry. No one was in the laundry room
so we got a chance to get everything done pretty quickly. Later, we were watching tv and resting and
our power kept going out. We put up with it for a few minutes and then moved to
the 50amp site that was vacated earlier this morning. We had to use the remote satellite dish but
at least we now have clean power and can run both airs. Later, Janie fixed
lasagna and green beans and garlic bread for dinner and we walked the dogs
twice more before settling in and watching America ’s Got Talent and then going
to bed. Tomorrow we head out again.
Wed. 7/20… (Beaver, UT) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RICK & JANIE! We
had 189 miles to drive today. We left
about 10:00am and got back on I70 and headed to I15 and then down to Beaver
Camperland (tl$38x2) in Beaver, UT.
