Still here

We went back and forth yesterday as to what to do and decided to stay another day here in North Salt Lake.  As I said the park is nice, so we took advantage of being around civilization and got some errands done.  Got our Costco fix, got some groceries, found some wine, and had a great lunch at Pei Wei.  We got the new towbar mounted and realized we needed to add a drop receiver to make the arms line up better.  For safety the towbar arms should be level with the attachment points on the toad.  After we got everything lined up and connected, I started up the motorhome to allow it to come to its normal ride height and noticed the towbar tipped up to the front of the Jeep, a no no.  It's okay for it to tip down towards the vehicle by up to 4 inches, but not up.  If the towbar tips up towards the toad, in an emergency stop or worse a collision the toad can climb up and impact the back of the motorhome, not a good thing.  So we went out and found a drop receiver.  A drop receiver basically moves the point either up or down, up in our case, where the towbar mounts to the motorhome.  That is now all mounted and looks good.

We were heading down to Cedar City for two nights so we could visit Cedar Breaks National Monument, but blew that off as neither of us was too excited about going there.  So now our plan is to leave early in the morning, stop by Speedco and get the motorhome serviced, oil change, filters replaced, chassis lube etc, its yearly checkup, then we will go south to Zion if we have enough time.  We were meeting Nancy and CT in Zion on Sunday, so if all goes right, we'll be there a day early.  That way we can run up to Cedar Breaks in the Jeep.

The smoke is still thick even here in Salt Lake City, but much better than the Tetons.  they say that once we get to the south half of the state we will lose the smoke, we can't wait.  

Just so you believe we did see a moose, here's proof.
