Today was a driving day. The boys slept in the van Sunday night so we could pack up the tent quickly and get going.
We left Yellowstone, driving through a small piece of Montana, then Idaho and into Utah. Idaho was pretty and hilly.
We were planning to go to Vernal, Utah to see Dinosaur National Monument. However... We were about an hour+ away, going into a hilly canyon area, when the van came to a halt going up a hill. It was 97 degrees and there we were by the side of the road, in an area with no phone service. After waiting a little while, the van worked again and we made our way back (down hill) to the nearest town, Heber City, Utah. We tried a couple of auto places but they couldn't look at it today. So, we got a motel room in Heber City. We were all pretty happy to have a cool motel room, pool, shower, and comfortable beds after several days of camping. We made an appointment to bring the van to the GMC dealer the next morning.
Oh, this all looks like soooo much fun! Sounds like even car trouble hasn't spoiled anything. I hope everyone is rehearsing the bear drills every day and practicing how NOT to resemble a baby elk. Karl might look a lot like a baby elk, so he especially needs the practice! How is the journaling? I will look forward to a lengthy slide show when you get home! Love you all...
