Another long day's drive, but we're here!

Our second long day of driving was another windy venture. The tailwinds weren't very noticeable, but the blasts that hit us from the side weren't much fun. Needless to say, I always drive with 2 hands on the wheel. I watch the traffic ahead of us, if there is any, for gusts that might blow them around. Thankfully there wasn't much traffic on the interstate so I could stray out of my lane without consequence. After a day of driving Rick always says "Good job. Thank you for getting us here safely."

Remember I mentioned the orange barrel-size construction cones that line the interstate? This doesn't begin to show how many there are in the state of Utah.

We arrived at our campground in the afternoon, greeted by the owners and their dogs. We love having the dogs with us for the summer. You'll see lots of photos of them. We spent the rest of the day setting up the motorhome for a long stay. While Rick managed the outside, I organized and cleaned the inside. Rick likes to meet all the fellow campers so he was a happy camper himself being out there. Since we had lived the last 3 weeks with the windows open and the wind blowing through the motorhome, we had dust everywhere. Not as bad as Quartzsite can be, but it sure was nice to have it clean. The water in Las Vegas was very hard and left calcium waterspots both inside the shower and outside on the coach. Nice to get that cleaned up also. It felt good to be up and moving around after a long drive.

We drove up and over a few summits on our way north and there was quite a bit of snow on the ground. 5000 to 6500 feet. And the tall mountain ranges were completely covered with white. We had a tiny bit of rain, just enough to make sure the windshield wipers worked.

We're going to have one full day before fishing season opens on the river. There are already more campers in the campground than we have ever seen.
