Awake: 5:10am Temp 44 Clear sky Overnight @ Sandy, Utah

Before breakfast, I get out our telescoping ladder & clean the standing
water off our slide out tops….which had quite an accumulation from the
rains.

Leave the Quail Run RV Park @ 8:35am. A beautiful travel day with a blue
sky as far as the eye can see. I-15 & I-84 are mostly smooth through the
valleys of Utah & Idaho with very little mountain climbing.

Arrive @ the Garrity RV Park @ 3:15pm. This park is small but still BIG
rig friendly.

Today’s travel: 6+31 hrs 363.4 miles 35.6 gal 10.2 mpg 56.6
avg speed

After parking in our site, I hear powerful engine noise & it’s not from a
truck, bus or train. A few minutes later, I spot a pair of Curtis P-40
WWII war birds flying around the local area. What’s going on? Later we
find out we are parked only a stone’s throw away from an airport & a WWII
Warhawk Museum + tomorrow they are having an air show. Hot diggity!

Meanwhile, I talk Kathy into walking over to the airport area & checking
this wonderful ruckus (she was as curious as I). We walk for 1.25 hrs &
we’ll call it exercise. Then we settle in our lawn chairs under our awning
& relax for an hr before dinner.

Our near neighbor, T.K. (Thomas Keye) & his wife Diana parked their 5th
wheel trailer just next to us shortly before we went for our curiosity
walk. When we return T.K. visits & we exchange our gypsy stories. They
live in Idaho & are quite knowledgeable about the area. He gives us maps &
ideas of things to do during our stay here.

7:45pm Dinner: Leftover meatloaf & a fresh mixed salad.

Late evening: Watch movie on cable: “The Day of the Evil Gun” with Glen
Ford. Not too shabby for a cowboy movie.

High temp today=74 Lights out: 12:02am
