We have been traveling “the roads less traveled” and up to this point they have been pretty easy. Until today. A stretch of Route in Idaho became much more mountainous, than Norm predicted. Oh boy! After a very long, very steep climb up to a lookout turn-off, I had asked another RV’er (who had a very fancy, diesel motorhome coming from the opposite direction) how the road was. He rolled his eyes, told us it was really bad, and that he would not be going home in that direction. That worried me, but Norm said he wasn't worried at all. This road was definitely the most challenging to date. Norm was up to the challenge! He took our motorhome up those steep grades and sharp S curves like a champ!
Over the past few weeks I had spent a lot of time on the phone arranging for the regular maintenance servicing of the motorhome, and the cracked windshield ( from a stone ) we sustained a couple of weeks ago.
Arranging for the routine service was easy. The windshield was another story. The good news is that our insurance will pay for it; the bad news is that they did not have the proper windshield in stock. They found us a great glass company in Salt Lake City, so hopefully by the time we return, the windshield will have arrived. I must say, everyone has been more than wonderful to deal with!
The campground we are staying here in Salt Lake is Mountain Shadows R.V. and Mobile Home Park. The worst campground to date! Totally unorganized, very tiny sites (forget putting out the awning), no water for most of the first day, and to top it off, people were partying just outside our RV past midnight.
Many months ago Norm had arranged with this park to have the RV put in storage for the two weeks we were to be in Boston, but the site reserved by them was way too small. It took many hours and many trips to the office for them to find a place we could safely keep it. Their customer service was definitely lacking.
On Friday we left the campground, drove 20 miles for service, drove it back to put it in storage.
We then drove back the 20 miles to the airport to check into a lovely Hilton where the first thing I did was draw a nice deep bath! Ohhhhhh that felt good. We had dinner out and the next day flew to Boston.
