On the road again!

The saga of the brakes is nearly complete - at least enough to get us back on the road. We are grateful to Rabbit Row Repair for working so hard in getting things fixed. These things take time (diagnosis, parts, shop time) so we spent five nights in Wilson.  For a breakdown this has been as good as can be imagined; mountain views, pleasant outdoor activities, good weather, photo opportunity, a good place to park and each other.  We also really appreciated that Teton County has a mandatory mask ordinance.  All Rabbit Row Repair employees wore masks and only allowed one person at a time in the office.

We finally left Wilson; weather was moving in so we headed south and stealth camped overnight on the Hoback River outside of Jackson, Wyoming. The next day, we drove several hours, stopping to admire the changing scenery as we headed farther south. We entered The Flaming Gorge Recreation Area, but as many campgrounds closed in September, ended up boogieing on to Red Fleet Campground outside of Vernal, Utah that had full hook up. We are only one of three campers so there is lots of space between all of us.  What a luxury to have unlimited power and water, although no service. We sure have missed hot showers! When we went to turn on the lights over the couch, they flickered and then went out. Argh...! Pat chased it down and found a broken wire under the slide-out.  He was able to repair it which was a relief - and satisfying for Mr. Fixit. For a reward he got a hair cut. Truely. 

It blew pretty hard all night and the next day and heavy clouds threatened rain, perfect for hunkering down with utilites. Everything is so dry in these parts, we were hoping for rain as well. It spit a little bit and then we had blue skies for the rest of the day so we went for a long hike in the majestic sandstone rock formations that surround the Tysack Dam. Today, we are headed for Dinosaur Track Trail on the north side of the dam.

The water was too cold for swimming so we didn’t partake!
