• Day 40 - Wyoming II

    June 11, 1974 in the United States

    The weather in Wyoming was absolutely gorgeous today—warm and sunny, so we all decided to make it a rest day. Well, calling it a “rest day” is a bit of an exaggeration because there’s always something to do with a camper, but at least we weren’t on the road. Wally got busy with an oil change and a little maintenance on the camper. Ursula worked on fixing a tear in our sleeping bag. As for me, I tackled a project I’ve been putting off—mounting the spare wheel above the front bumper and spray-painting a Swiss flag on the wheel cover. I also found a way to clear some space for the toolbox on the lower level, so now we don’t have to climb onto the roof every time we need a tool.

    I had the camper all set for an early start, but as we sat outside, we all changed our minds. Instead, we spent the morning by the pool, and honestly, it was the perfect choice for such a beautiful, warm day. Of course, our bodies were a bit of a sight—a mix of sunburns and untanned patches.

    After a relaxing time at the pool, we finally hit the road after lunch, heading toward Salt Lake City. By evening, we found a lovely campsite by Bear Lake. Unfortunately, Ursula was feeling really unwell—sick with a stomach flu. She took some medicine and went straight to bed without even having dinner. I felt so bad for my Ursula. ❤️
