Oil and Glass Spa day!

Today was all about the equipment that has enabled us to enjoy this exciting adventure.

We started early from Phillips Campground in Evanston, WY and were rolling before 7am. Our first stop may have set the karma level for the day when the gas pump would not let go of our credit card, and wouldn’t dispense any gas. After Dan pushed the card around a bit, the machine finally declined the card and released the card. Melissa wisely suggested we move on to the next gas station where everything went according to plan. We also successfully used an Amazon locker to get an order of some odds and ends we needed.

The early morning drive was nice with golden hour lighting on the mountains in front of us as we approached Salt Lake City. Traffic steadily built but never slowed. We arrived at Safelight about 45 min before about appointment, and they began replacing the windshield about 30 min ahead of schedule. Everything turned out great, and the crack is all gone.

Next it was time for an oil change. The JiffyLube that we started at wouldn’t let us leave the trailer in their lot while they worked on the car, so we headed down the street to a Big O Tires (love the name) where we had the oil changed and tires rotated. Took longer than we were expecting, but the cost was reasonable.

Next it was our turn…. We drove to a nearby park and rode along the Jordon River Bikeway for about 10 miles.

Then off to check in to the hotel, pack clothes for the weekend, shower, eat all the leftover and refrigerated food from the camper, drop off the car/camper at the airport long term parking lot. We stuffed the bikes in the camper, no easy job it required removing tires, but we felt they would be safer inside for the weekend. grabbed an Uber back to the hotel for the night. Tomorrow we fly out to Pittsburgh for Savanah and David’s wedding!Read more
