Thursday night--We packed up from the wilderness and are now sleeping among neon signs. We decided we needed a full city experience and are staying in a RV park in the middle of Vernal, Ut. Not really a city but at least a town with the basics.
And I am ticking everyone off by listening to MSNBC—political news—still depressing to me but more depressing to my trailer mates. Doubt if I will stay in touch with the world happenings over the next month—and that is ok—our world is scary….wish I ran it…and it scares me what are our priorities—obviously not environmental or education—but instead for the corporate thought process. Wish I ran a corporation to get health insurance—can’t afford $800+ a month as a small business person. Oh well—that’s another problem—
Friday night—watched cable TV last night so didn’t post—modern conveniences trump writing my blog—especially after so long without modern conveniences!
But today we drove from Vernal to Ridgeway, Colorado. I made the decision to go over the pass we were warned against—but it was so much more the direct route. The good news is that obviously the people that warned us against it haven’t driven the roads we have. Not a problem at all and I was even convinced when we crested the summit that surely we had another one to go—surely that wasn’t it. But it was—and our B.A. truck handled it fine.
We treated ourselves to a Red Lobster lunch and then hit Sam’s club in Grand Junction, CO to get some good supplies to take to Betsy and Tom’s house. We also plan on hitting a Wally SuperCenter in Durango to finish the menus. We will then probably get to their house tomorrow (Sat) but right now we are staying in a state park that has full hookups and is really nice. We’ve already been treated to a herd of deer wandering through and the views are excellent.
Yuliya has had cell phone service most of the day so it has been attached to her ear. I’m going to hear Russian in my sleep…hopefully she won’t have service when we are at B&T’s place so she will deal more with the “here & now” but I guess that is a complaint a lot of parents have—what do they talk about for so long?
We are thinking about trying to pick up a show in Taos, NM the weekend before we hit Albuquerque. We are going to see what the T&B plans are before we contact the show. Vacation is still the priority. But we did it last year and it would probably be worth doing if there is nothing special planned.
Guess that is it right now—tires look good, my hands are still attached, and everyone is still talking to each other. All in all we be good.
