Beautiful Utah


Here we are at Bryce National Park-again! I think I could go there over and over and not be bored with its beauty. As you guessed, though, it was a bit chilly that morning. At our campground it was in the low 20's at night and our last night it was 12 degrees (burrrr...)
We did have a relaxing time on our trip, with lots of campfires and good food. Ed and I do all the cooking for our friends that own the Panguitch KOA while we are there. They are wonderful people and let us keep our 5th wheel trailer at their campground all summer for free. That way we could go there every month for a little getaway.
Our truck is finally getting broke in with 56,000 miles and our gas mileage is between 19 & 20 mpg, but still sucks with pulling our 40ft. trailer-oh well! My car broke down the other day to the tune of $600. We were driving it and it started to die. We limped home where it wouldn't start again. So called the tow truck and took it to a Subaru dealer here. The battery had a bad cell and when they took it out it started oozing everywhere. The alternator wasn't working right and over charged it. So we got those 2 things, plus the belts were horrible and my windshield washer motor died, also new wiper blades. The nice lady in charge took the cost of the wiper motor ($98) off our bill. If that's a way to get us to come back in, it worked. They even washed my car.
I've been keeping busy working 4 to 5 days a week and doing yard work and some fun fixer-upper things. We sit out on the patio almost every night and are really enjoying the cooling temperatures. Well, that's enough rambling for now. Take care everyone, Love, Vicki & Ed
