On the Trails

Wednesday, October 10, 2007, Day 13
 
We woke up early and were at the Ford Garage in Ogden, Utah by 7:30.  They confirmed it was the fuel pump but said they did not have the part.  Luckily,
they were able to locate one but wouldn’t get it until 12:00. They
offered to drop us off at a nearby [...]

First we need to start with a correction. Paula and Carol were not “just sleeping” in the RV instead of writing the log. We did a daily entry until we arrived at Ed’s and chose to visit instead of writing a log. In fact, we have [...]

Oct 4, 2007 Day 7
We left the campsite at Custer early ( due to the shutting off the water for the winter)and traveled to the Crazy Horse monument and museum. When this project is completed it will be the largest mountain carving in the world. It will also contain the largest collection of North American [...]

Day 4, October 1, 2007
 
We slept in the parking lot last night. We had a pretty good rain – only one leak!  We got up and started loading the totes and anything we could find to pack.  At noon they told us we could transfer our “stuff” to the new RV and they would be [...]

Day 3, September 30th
After we finished the log last night, we went inside the camper for the night. Paula and Denny were on the phone checking in with family, one call after another. Keep in mind that Bob does not particularly like the phone to begin with. I think at sometime in [...]

My Dad sent this to me. He and my step mom, aunt and uncle are traveling west in an RV. Two former school teachers/principals and two Italians (I means Sicilians – but they are such great ladies) – can’t wait to read their daily posts
Day 2 – Sept 29th
Last night went [...]
