Day two leaving Dillon

On the road again, stopped at Safeway for fuel. Fuel was less expensive in Dillon than the bigger cities, go figure. Good trip through the dreaded Monida pass and all the way trough Idaho. A brief stop for lunch at a rest stop and onward. All the way to Utah, no I'm not repeating the - how did this state get that name; but it starts - I tat I taw a puddy tat.
Hit a rain storm just after crossing the state line. Lots of hail in the ditch, so must have been pretty exciting. Managed to catch up with it though - pretty much a downpour. There was some hail in it, but nothing to get real excited about. Lots of cars pulled over for it, but we just slowed some and motored thru. We could see that the sky was clear beyond the storm and thought it would be more hazardous to sit on the side of the road. Anyway we are in another nice rv park in Ogden, Utah. Have not decided, but we will either drive on to the south or spend some time looking around here. Who knows might be up to joining the Mormon church, they are a great resource in genealogy. ;>) The other good thing about Utah, gas is cheaper here. I saw $3.55/gal at Flying J.
Oh yeh, weather was very nice all day. I think it was about 75 F here, and from the forecast that will be the coolest day we will see in the next week or two. Forecast for the St George area is in the 90's all week.

  1. Sounds as though your having a good road trip... I imagine when your rig pulls up to fuel up in one of these little towns, it's like their entire takings for the day.... Hope the heavy rain washed the bugs off your windscreen. xx
