Chilly Morning


Tuesday started off chilly - got down to 37 degrees. Fortunately, our Alde heat system (hydronic) worked fine on propane as we are dry camping at the rally. Our solar panels recharged the batteries during the day.


Attended the meeting of volunteers who were driving activity carts, got our dos and don’ts, and confirmed our shift schedule (Wednesday evening; Saturday afternoon; Sunday morning). We volunteered for activity carts (6-pax golf carts) as we figured we were pretty qualified to drive golf carts. 😀🏌️🏌️‍


Wandered around looking at the rows and rows and rows of RVs. We could only see the display coaches (RVs brought in by dealers to display) from a distance (photo below). Looks like well over 100 RVs to see.


Joined the other Roadtrekers for happy hour at 4.

Sunday, 28 August After several clear days without smoke/haze, the smoke is back. As we headed north from Moab at 7am, the sun looked like a red ball in the sky - very different from the sunrise we watched two days ago. Today's itinerary was repositioning to Vernal, UT, about 230 miles north. The recommended route was to remain in Utah and take US 191. Our Wagonmaster said not to take the route through Colorado as the roads were worse. A quick check of the recommended route saw that it went through Helper, UT, home of the Carbon Country Club Golf Course. Conveniently located about 2 hours from Moab and 2 hours from Vernal. By leaving Moab at 7am, we arrived early at the golf course and were able to take advantage of a cancellation to start earlier than our scheduled tee time. The course was nice and in good condition. We both had a mix of good hits and ones we wished we could do over. Darrell managed to lead at the turn. Kris played the back nine better, but...

Trying to plan today last night was loose at best as all the weather apps we use indicated 40% chance of rain, or higher.  Both where we played golf yesterday, as well as where we were headed.  There seemed to be a dip in the rain likelihood between 9am and noon around Starke, FL as well as warmer temperatures forecast, so we decided to get an early start and drive the 2 hours down to Starke, FL, where there were two different 9-hole courses to select from. Woke up to 55 degrees in Waycross and were on the road about 7:30.  We plugged in directions for the closer of the two courses which had slightly better reviews figuring that if it was closed or crowded, we could wander over to the other course.  We enjoyed 4-lane roads (65mph speed limit) till we got to the Florida border, as well as temperatures climbing as we went further south.  On the way down, Kris checked for a Starbucks near Starke, FL, and found there weren’t any. ...

Ridgway-Ourey-Silverton-Telluride, CO - STR-2021-15

Sunday, 4 July Not very long after getting Sprinty settled in the Pa—Co-Chu-Puk campground, we got a text from Tom saying they were settled in their campsite in the Elk Ridge Campground. We broke camp to drive to one of the three other campground loops at Ridgway State Park to plan the week. Tom offered to drive their truck if Darrell would plan the week. After sharing ideas and reviewing what was open, when, we came up with a plan for each of the next four days. Monday, 5 July - Silverton As Sprinty is sleeping in four different places in five nights, he had to vacate his site while his humans went off adventuring with Tom and Heidi.   The plan was to park Sprinty in the state park marina as checkin for Sprinty's next site was not until afternoon. Tom and Heidi were going to pick us up there in their truck at 8:30 for a day of adventuring. All set, we started off for Silverton, CO. For about 200 feet. Tom and Heidi's Ford F-150 had the AdvanceTrac li...
