Idaho into Utah

Ready to unplug and roll – should be on the road by 7:30 this morning – hoping to beat some of the forecast wind, get through SLC early and also get to Green River, UT (450 miles…) but will be happy with any place past Spanish Fork which is where I leave the interstate.

This little park is great – (Exit 135 off I-15 north of Idaho Falls, ID) for any travelling through with dogs and in this vicinity for an overnight – GREAT walking for dogs and people on some ATV gravel roads…nice grassy/brushy areas and a good long loop.  Time to hit the road.

Temp at 7:00 a.m. is 51 – overnight low 48 – forecast high of 85, clear and windy along my route.

 4:30 p.m. arrived Green River, UT – Shady Acres RV park which will NOT get a recommendation but I’m beat…  ugly park, $33.10 for water/electric WITH Good Sam AND 6.95/day for Wi-fi – which the sign says “Wi-Fi Internet Access”, I asked before check in (there is a KOA in town) if there was Wi-fi at the site… “Yes, at all sites”, and was even handed a slip with username and password but NEVER told it was a subscription.  HA – my aircard works fine…I was getting no bars on my phone but the aircard gets 2…  I don’t mind paying, I just HATE when it seems like they hide the fact.  Also, I’m cranky because I hate I-15 through Utah and it was horrible and traffic, etc. and then several **K#*$) passed me on the hwy 6 2 lane – with dbl yellow, even though I was going the speed limit of 65 and there are turnouts – which I used – and passing lanes every 5 miles. 

Ok – I feel better – will feel even better when the sun goes down and I get a glass of wine, not necessarily in that order…- it is 101 – not helping with the cranky…   Karl thinks he wants to go out…fortunately we had a nice long walk this morning.

Hwy 6 was beautiful – I might get some photos up later…  Also, northern Utah was pretty – don’t think I’ve ever travelled through this early in the summer and it was green as was Montana and Idaho.  I only got out the window shots so not sure there is anything worth posting.
