Made it to Idaho!

On Friday morning we left Colorado Springs heading north to Wyoming.   We had a call from our mail service who is trying to register our new truck in South Dakota for us.  I needed to print the checklist and get a power of attorney notarized authorizing them to do this for us.  Ted was driving and I was calling to find a notary that was in an RV friendly area!  We found a Wells Fargo that had a notary and it was slightly outside Cheyenne so we took a chance.  There was a side street right next to the bank where we could park without unhooking the RV.  Within 30 minutes we were back on the road with a notarized document and a chocolate chip cookie!

We then headed west across Wyoming, hit some more hard rain and found a campground in Rawlins, Wyoming.  Ted had been watching the tire that was on our RV middle axle passenger side (same side as leaf spring problem).  He was worried about it so yesterday we looked for a tire place.  They wanted about $100 more than Camping World for each tire so Ted had them switch tires around and we will get the tires later on.

I didn't post any pictures of our leaf spring so decided to do that this morning as follows:


Yesterday after getting our tires moved around we kept heading west to Ogden, Utah and then north into Idaho.  We have seen bison, antelopes, llamas and alpaca's along the way!  We arrived in Declo, Idaho around 5:30 and called it a day.  We are now less than 500 miles to Bend, Oregon (our destination) and have decided to spend two nights here.  It is such a pretty campground, lots and lots of green grass, a nature trail next to the river and lots of trees.  We will recharge our batteries (bodies) and get laundry done before continuing west!

Yesterday afternoon the temperatures were in the high 80's but this morning it was a chilly, damp 53 degrees!  Lovely for a nice morning walk with Max!

Lots of green, not money, but trees and grass..."Ain't Life Grand!"
