Wife volunteers at the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah.
Comb and polishing porcupines, assists with dog rehabilitation and placement, feeds the mules.
Located in an amazing valley all it's own.
Finding a decent meal in Utah can be challenging but it's getting better.
You have to make it yourself really.
The animal Sanctuary had a Vegan buffet style restaurant.
$5 donation. Good news; all you can eat. Bad news; plenty of it.
I had what tasted like pencil erasers with melted/liquidated Tonka Truck tires as a gravy.
Washed down with a tall glass of nothing.
Desert may have been ground up Barbie dolls blended with wall paper paste. No idea what the frosting was. Naugahyde aka Vega leather came to mind:
Tomorrows menu: Sawdust.
We did try one more Vegan restaurant and it's not for non Vegan diners. If you get trapped the best bet is the Onion Soup which is almost always available at Vegan slop chutes.
I tell you what - the Kanab area is absolutely beautiful.
We took the Can Am on a few near by trails and it was spectacular.
We did encounter one trail that was deep in mud and ice.
Utah trail riding is best in late Spring early fall.
One stretch was a 200' steep downhill on icy rock.
Quickly became a Missouri Hay ride with no control just a sled down the icy rocks to a puddle of near frozen mud.
Wifie is fearless she loves this crazy stuff.
Then the trail took us to Belly of the Dragon Cave. Pictured in the background.
We hit the coin op car wash on the way back.
Owner quickly rolled up as I predicted and we thought he'd run us off.
No, just asked that we clean the stall as nice as our kitchen floor at home when done.
Wife made me stand there and she hosed me off with the coin op sprayer too.
I thought she was kidding. Nope dead serious.
Dark Sky RV Park is worth checking out.
Nice place.
When I rolled into our RV spot the truck threw codes, the RV hydraulic system failed and the RV spot wasn't full level and at a near 45 degree angle to unhook the truck. So I worked through it and got it all straightened out.
The Truck codes turned out to be bad fuel we picked up on the road, we refueled, the codes cleared and never came back. The Hydraulic system was from 2 bad batteries since replaced and I managed to level it all out ok, though stressful.
Then my cell phone rang from the kids at home and things got better.
The check from GM on our lemon law settlement finally arrived. It was for way more than we originally thought and agreed on. Ample is an understatement. I dunno why and didn't ask the lawyer why, she just did an excellent job and said it's all good, keep the truck, still in warranty no record anyplace of the deal.
When we lemon law'd a different RV a few years back we paid $39K for it and the settlement check was $60K. I didn't ask why then either and the check cleared the bank.
