Yesterday started out with a big boo-boo.  We were supposed to be heading for Green River, WY but I made reservations in a KOA in Green River, UT.  Only approximately a 200 mile error and it was nowhere near where we intended to go.  Thank goodness, when I put the address into the GPS, it told us we were driving 466 miles today, so we knew there was something amiss.  So, I called Utah and confessed and they allowed us to cancel with only a $10 penalty.  Very nice of them.  Also, we were able to get into the Wyoming park, which is certainly not guaranteed when school is out and everyone is on the road with their kids.  The covered wagon above was opposite our space.

When we arrived at the KOA in Wyoming, they had given us a space with only 30 amps so Gary used his many charms to talk them into a 50 amp site so we could use both air conditioners.  The only 50 amp site they had available was their only Super Site, which had its own patio, complete with table, chairs and a wooden porch swing.  We used our KOA points and it only cost $4.95.  Very lucky and not likely to ever happen again.

This campground is mainly gravel with a few small trees and many people gave it poor reviews online, but if you look at the surrounding geography, there aren't any trees here.  The few there were had been planted by the owners and taken care of carefully.  The dog run was all grass. We thought the camp was fine.

We met a couple from Beaverton, Oregon who were pulling an Airstream exactly like ours.  We really hit it off and ended up eating dinner together on the patio and exchanging information so we can see each other at home.  David and Penne S. and we have lots in common besides our trailers.  That was very exciting and the first time it has happened.

Green River, WY was making an attempt to be like bigger places that have fiberglass horses, cowboy boots, etc. as mascots but they couldn't quite afford those so they had plywood steers set up in a way that was 3 dimensional and painted.  Very cute.

Today we drove to Brigham City, UT to a KOA that we have used before.  The scenery was spectacular.

We kept getting "Red Flag" warnings on our cell phones which meant that the extreme heat made the likelihood of fire imminent.  In contrast to that we saw miles and miles of snow fences along the highway which keep the drifts off the highways in winter.

There are many places along I-80 and I-84 where they can completely close the highway because of adverse conditions.  If the lights are blinking, you must exit and they lower gates over the on-ramps to keep new people from entering the highways.  So far, we haven't encountered any closures, but I'm sure it happens fairly regularly in winter and during high winds.

Tomorrow we will drive to Twin Falls, ID and spend three nights.
