Awake: 6:12am Temp 38 Drizzle Overnight @ Kanarraville, Utah
After my cold coffee & during drizzling rain, I get our telescoping ladder
out, wipe water off our extended slides, and then retract them. 2 hrs
later, the sun breaks through the clouds & things begin to dry out…but not
fast enough.
We say our goodbyes to Janice & Steve (campground owners) who have been
very personable & friendly with us during our stay. I had to use
posi-traction on(both dual wheels) to back out of our parking spot.
Unfortunately the ground was still soaked from the recent rains so we did
leave several impressive footprints as a souvenir @ our parking site. At
10:58 am we leave The Red Ledge RV Park & begin heading North on I-15.
From I-15 Northbound, we take I-70 Eastbound with mostly smooth roads & a
lot of altitude changes; down to 4000 ft & up to 7000 ft several times.
Going thru the Fish Lake Nat’l Forest area, the Coal Cliffs & the San
Rafael Swell area were definitely scenic eye openers; no napping for
Kathy! It was like a continuation of sections of Bryce & Zion Parks but
not quite as dramatic.
Arrive @ Shady Acres RV Park & Campground in Green River, Utah @ 3:32pm.
Today’s travel: 4+43 hrs 247.5 miles 30.25 gal 8.18 mpg
53.32 avg speed
After parking & hooking up our utilities, we take a 45 min walk about
town. Well, there isn’t really a town atmosphere here. Although the
population is over 800 people, this town is more like a popular truck stop
with 3 or 4 fueling stations, 5 hotel/motels & about as many restaurants.
7:30pm Dinner: Corn flake breaded fried chicken with baked potato,
asparagus & fresh spinach salad.
Late evening: Watch movie on cable: “Back to the Future” with Michael J.
Fox. We had never seen it & it was kind of entertaining.
Elevation @ Green River=4047 ft High temp today= 71 Lights out: 11:33pm
