Utah to Mississippi

We were able to meet up with Tom and Donna in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  They were on their way back to Arizona after purchasing a motorhome in Texas.

Robertson's Hams a family-owned business has existed since 1946.  They have locations in Oklahoma and Texas and we have been to several of them.  Luck for us it was lunch time when we noticed this one along the highway.

Back in Wyoming the automatic float got stuck on our Aqua hot. Dave called Brian DeGerald and he walked him through temporarily bypassing the automatic float so we could have hot water.  By doing this it was up to us to make sure the boiler fluid did not get too low.  While on the phone Dave also made an appointment for us to stop by their shop in Paron, Arkansas on our way to Mississippi.


Check out how black this snake is

It got a little exciting passing through Memphis when our sideview mirror became loose.  You don't realize how much need them until you can't use them. 

Our first stop in Cornith, Mississippi was for diesel.  This will probably end up being the cheapest diesel of the whole trip.  With our Kroeger rewards we were able to get .10 cents off our first 35 gallons and .03 cents off of the rest.

Moab, Utah

Daves's childhood friend Chris who currently lives in Virginia was also in Moab.


Happy Hour at the Bighorn

Took some time to check out the Rock art in Moab.

Oh no!

This is what happens when you loose a bead on a tire in the middle of the obstacle 



Changing the tire

It's the Hummer's turn on the hill.  Their recovery team is not as quick as ours.

Now without a spare we decided to go out the entrance.

We joined the "Peanut Gallery" on top
