Tuesday Sept.1

Got up this morning all set to head for Bullhead City, AZ. Then Bud took our garbage out. When he came in to RV he said “Change of plans! We’re going to Moab in southeast Utah.” A guy in the RV park had told him about this great place to get geodes. Plus then we could drive south to I-40 in Arizona by going through an area of old western towns that Bud has wanted to see. So off we went down Hwy. 50 ( Loneliest road in America). Got over to I -15 and drove up a few miles to catch the cut-off to I-70. Pulled into Flying J for diesel and a guy told us a rear tire was separating. Luckily they had a tire shop at Flying J. While checking on the tires (we need 4) we were told the cut-off road was closed due to a forest fire along the road. The fire put power out for 30 square miles including where we were. Then the shop decided they did NOT have tires for us. A fellow RVer heard our story and looked up tires on his cell phone and called a BIG O tire place in Nephi. Nephi is 35 miles further north and they said they had the tires so off we went. Got there and they did NOT have tires to fit. We’re spending the night dry-docking in a truck parking lot across from BIG O.
