 Awake: 6:06am     Temp 48      sleep 6+23     sunny      overnight @ Las Vegas, Nevada.

Today is moving day; after our coffee, Kathy retracted the rear slides & organized some of the things that might fall on the floor during our travels; while she is doing that, I attached our tow car & retracted the shore cable.

We left the Riviera RV Park in Las Vegas @ 7:35am traveling initially on I-515, & then changed to I-15 north to Mesquite where we crossed into Arizona for about (30) miles before entering Utah.

                              Kathy takes a photo of the Kolob Canyons in Utah. DSC08945.JPG We continued north on I-15 until Cove Fort & then changed to I-70 eastbound. Kathy, did you ask for air conditioning or heat? DSC08983.JPG We make a Flying "J" fuel stop @ Richfield, Utah.I don't need fuel now but further east, we'll be doing some mountain climbing so it's better to be safe than sorry. (100) gallons of diesel fuel @ $2.94 per gallon & we're back on the road again. If you look closely @ the stone wall, you'll see an old prospector with BIG EYES. DSC08987.JPG (123) miles later, we arrived @ Green River, Utah & checked in @ the A/OK RV Park @ 3:15pm.

Irene gave us a lengthy campsite & good thing; a few trees were blocking our satellite signals so we pulled forward about (25) ft; enough to get those DirecTV signals through the open southwest direction. Now our shore cable & water hose are both stretched out to about (25 & 30 ft).

Today's travel: 411 miles    7+20 time      71 gal used      5.8 mpg        56 avg speed.

Before dinner, I hooked up our tow car so I won't have to do it in the early morning.

Dinner: left over turkey with gravy, acorn squash, asparagus, & rice with golden raisins.

After the dinner dishes were cleaned by Kathy, I reeled in the water hose & filters, saving me from having to roll in a stiff hose in the morning; there is a  forecast freezing temps overnight.

Evening movie: "It's a Wonderful World" with Claudette Colbert, James Stewart, Guy Kibbee, Nat Pendleton, Frances Drake, Edgar Kennedy, etc. Screwball comedy with Colbert a runaway poetess, Stewart a fugitive chased by cops Pendleton and Kennedy. Very, very funny, with Stewart having a field day. 1939. Screwball comedy it was, but we were not laughing. Kathy couldn't wait for the finish.

Lights out: 11:55pm.
