Since I whined the other day about not getting the opportunity to practice backing into our campsite, Denny told me I could drive again today on our 226 mile jaunt into Utah. Okay, fine. Since it was raining, that meant he had to stand outside in the rain to raise the front of the rig and connect the brake cable while I sat in the dry truck and backed up to hitch up to the king pin. Hmm, this is working out pretty good already!
Got through the construction on US 91 with no problem, enjoyed the mountains north of Logan, UT as the trees were turning red on the slopes providing a bright contrast with the still green trees, and slid on through Salt Lake City traffic with nary a problem (it helps when you're driving slower than most of the traffic as it creates a little island of isolation). Whipped into the Flying J RV fuel pump area so we could fill both the diesel tanks and a propane tank ($3.00 here with the Flying J RV card) and had just another few miles to the campground. Where we discovered that the back in sites backed up to the roadway (probably noisy) and that they had pull-through sites. Well duh, guess where Linda pulled in? Heh. Momma didn't raise no dummy. So no back-in practice today but that's okay. Sooner or later we'll give it another try.
