We got under way early and had about 360 miles to do which included over the Rockies.
The Beast did very well going over the mountains. It got down to 3rd gear twice. The 400 Cummins engine/trans never went above 202 degrees. Fuel mileage…..well, let’s don’t go there.
I want to go where this guy is going to cook….
This trucker smoked his brakes real bad.
Hey they take pictures of us I figured I would take one of them.
Setting on the side of the road. What…a broke down Phaeton…..
The Elks Lodge in Grand Junction and it had parking in the back. We stopped at Cabela's. What a friggin sporting store.
I got fuel in Grand Junction. I found one place that had diesel for $3.73 a gallon.
This was a city sign at an intersection.
We arrived at the Passport America OK RV Park around 4:30 PM just outside of Moab City. For $20.50 we got a pull thru, 50 AMP full hook up with free WiFi and cable. Plus a patch of grass, a tree and a table. Oh boy oh boy….
The park had a cookout so what the hell. Hamburgers and bring something for $5 a couple. More than enough food. We met some pretty nice folks. They are all Jeepers. Meaning they have 4X4 Jeeps.
They had a picture contest. I entered mine and came in second to a picture of a double rainbow entered by the park manager. I won a grill veggie holder cooker – pretty nice.
It got up to 101 degrees. I tried running our 3 ACs but blew the power at the post. Someone told me I couldn’t blow a 50 AMP service. I will try again tomorrow.
We got the low down on a ATV trail just down the road that we will try out first thing tomorrow. Later we will go to the visitor center and pick up maps. Hopefully our new little camera will come in tomorrow afternoon. My Nikon D90 does not go out ATVing.
See ya….
