Yesterday was Friday the 13th, and after what we went through, I am beginning to be superstitious. We had spent the last week in Salt Lake City Utah, attending a home missions conference and graduation ceremony at Salt Lake Baptist College. We got to spend time with old friends, and make many new friends. All in all, we had a great time. The conference ended Thursday evening and after taking friends to the airport, we made it back to the church where we parked our RV for the week. We also made it back just in time to discover that we both had encountered a case of intestinal malfeasance. Since there were several others who attended, we concluded that something in the previous evenings menu contained the culprit with evidence pointing to the cantelope being the bad player.
We managed to get things packed up, said our goodbyes, and headed up the road on I-80 towards Wyoming. I was not comfortable at all, and after about 3 hours of driving, we pulled into the Flying J in Rock Springs Wy, to spend the night. After a very uncomfortable night, with little sleep, we are both feeling a little bit better today and after putting things away, and taking a hot shower, we will be heading east in I-80 towards Nebraska, specifically Pender NE.
I decided, after looking at my Blue Ox, Aventa tow bar, that a side trip to the Blue Ox factory was in order. We bought the tow bar in 2004, and have about 70000 miles of towing on it. That plus some winter snow and salt, have led me to conclude it needs some TLC from the factory. Blue Ox reportedly has a nice campground at the factory where we can stay while having the service done, so we will make the trip, and then be able to report on our experience.
This morning, I woke up to snow falling outside. Apparently the snow in our high altitude is part of a larger system that is raining in Nebraska and causing tornadoes in Oklahoma. Thanks to our friend Jim for pointing that out, and naturally, we will keep a close eye on the weather as we travel.
