Change of Plans Note: Our trip to Alaska and National Parks tour of
Washington, Oregon and California is finished. We had always planned to travel Interstate 40
east back across the US to Land Between the Lakes (LBL) in Tennessee for a
Rally with friends before returning to KY.
Well, when we left the California mountains and found temperatures in
the valleys over 100 degrees, we decided we’re too far South for this early in
the autumn. Therefore, we’re headed
north via I-15 through Nevada, Arizona, and Utah. Then it’s across the US on I-80 through
Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana.
Coincidentally, this puts us back in Northern Indiana where we can visit
with our grand-kids which we have been missing for the last three and a half
months. : ) Then we’ll head south to LBL in TN before
returning to Kentucky.
9/14- Today was a driving day and we passed the
11,000 mile mark as we were headed into Utah.
We stopped this evening at the KOA Campground in Fillmore, UT, about
halfway through the state. The campground
was really nice with lots of grass, flowers and trees which are odd to find in
this desert region.

9/15- We left the KOA early to get beyond Provo and
Salt Lake City before traffic got bad. South
of Salt Lake City we left I-15 and headed east on I-80. This will take us all the way to Indiana, just
1250 miles east. This placed us into
Wyoming where we have stopped at another KOA in Rock Springs. This KOA is just a driving stop as it is
situated within sight and hearing of the Interstate and a group of huge oil
storage tanks. It has absolutely no “curb”
appeal but nice restrooms.

9/13- This morning we left the Orange Grove RV Park,
which we really enjoyed, and headed east to connect with I-15 going north. All of the driving today was through the
desert with temperatures reaching 100 degrees for most of the day. About 3:00 we reached Las Vegas and checked
in the Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort. It
really is a resort, with three pools, a bar, restaurant, exercise facility,
slot machines and entertainment. This is the nicest RV park we have seen. It is a
real oasis in this desert. We spent the
afternoon in the pool cooling off.
Tomorrow we continue north headed for Utah.
