2 RV's to Draper UT

... spending the night at Sandy UT

Breakfast - eggs, sausage and juice.

Even though we are in a later time zone, we still pull out late. We pull out at 8:45 and head across the freeway to the Loves for fuel.

I get a receipt for our hotel room even though we used rewards points. The hotel got paid less than half of what we would have paid cash for that same room. The parking lot was full and people with trailers were parked on the street. When we get over by Loves there is a Best Western and there they are parked on the street also and that is a much busier street with all the truck traffic.

1st stop - Loves. Busy, we do not find pumps next to each other until after we are parked. We top them off and this may be our last fuel stop ... if our range is at 440 like earlier on the trip. But it isn't so we will likely stop again.

2nd stop is the Flying J in Rawlins for a rest break. When I walk in a stall, the toilet paper falls from somewhere, I'm guessing it was hung on the back of the door ... when I left, I let the staff know and they headed that way while I was still talking to them.

Last trip we fueled in Green River but we are still doing OK on fuel. My range goes up and down about 30 miles between stops. We are not going to fuel so we stop in Rock Springs instead of the Loves and Carl Jr's. Something different.

3rd stop was at Quizno's in Rock Springs. We park in the 'no truck parking' area with all the trucks. We are there at 12 noon and we and a demo/promo bus driver are the only two customers the whole hour. With a staff of three inside. And we are both out of towners.

Some where today I hit a dust devil, without the dust. It was throwing so little debris that I couldn't tell where it was. I hit it, it rocked be hard enough to set off the wind assist in the RV. BB's wind assist did not go off but she was holding on with both hands.

4th stop was the rest area in Evanston. The white buffalo were close enough that I hopefully got some good pictures. They were busy eating and rarely looked up. Busy place today, a dozen or so travel trailers using the trailer dump on-site.

Rare scale closing at the UT scale. Closed for us because the trucks were backed up to the highway. 20 some trucks. Somewhere down the incline I saw another elk on the highway.

We didn't stop at the UT rest area this time but KD posted that they did ... and were told by staff that the new grounds crew used some type of weed killer that also killed off all the ground squires that people used to watch. Opps.

5th stop this trip was the Sinclair in Park City. We both add two gallons of fuel. I had a range of 74 miles and 40 miles to go. I was within my 30 mile range that I like to have but I guess I wasn't feeling 'lucky' today. BB had a range of about 90 miles, she almost always gets better mileage and makes more money on the fuel.

6th and final stop was the Best Western in Sandy, it is less than 10 miles from the drop. We looked at the Choice hotels in the area but not so good reviews. Not sure how often we still look at reviews but we did this time. Today was the last day of the Choice promo so now we are back to normal rewards points for the next few months until their next promotion.

It was 3 PM local when we get here so we have plenty of time to look at food choices. Lots of places in this area are closed on Sunday. We are a block from a huge mall with a food court, but the mall is down to just JCPenny's and a few minor stores. BB doesn't want to go inside a mall and after watching a local mall go downhill I prefer to stay away from 'dying' malls. But they did have about a dozen food places so it can't be totally dead, including a Charely's. (AFTER we get food from somewhere else, I look online at the reviews. Newly updated mall, very nice)

We end up going to Santorini's Greek Grill, I get a gyro and BB gets a bowl. A lot like our local Dino's.

Not sure if we will hang around for a while to watch for work or head back home right away. We can drop at 9 AM so we should be done before noon. I need to make a list of places we can deliver on Saturday's. This is one of those. We could have left town Wednesday AM and delivered Saturday. But I always find stuff to do when I am not working.
