Whether or not we would take this Summer road trip was up in the air for a long while.  Turns out that Noobee developed a problem on the drive back to Nevada and had to be admitted to the truck hospital.  While there, another discrepancy occurred and required new replacement parts.  So our brand-new beast sits languishing awaiting warranty rework.  Meanwhile, we had already made and pre-paid for various reservations and because it is high season they are non-refundable.  What to do, what to do.  It pays to have a spare motor home!  With a few days to spare, we made a decision:  good old reliable Bee rolled happily out of the barn and we shifted into gear.  This involved a half-day trip to the truck repair shop to retrieve many of the items we had just hauled to Iowa to equip the new rv for travel, importantly, the tow bar.  Nevertheless, we remained focused and doggedly checked off one item after another, finished up the yard work, worked up menus, stopped deliveries, prepared the house to be left alone and here we are on the road with minutes to spare.

One of the fun things we like to do is find interesting places to attend 4^th of July festivities.  Rob found what looks to be a great celebration in Park City, Utah.  All those conservatives, don’tchaknow.  Flags, backpack, umbrella and lawn chairs in hand, we’re looking forward to parades and carnivals.  First stop:  Cedar City, Utah.  Fast forward:  here we are 5 hours later in Cedar City, parked and hooked up.  If she struggled a bit in the hilly regions, still, Bee performed flawlessly, as usual.  Let’s see what this pretty little town can teach Lindy and Rob.
