I woke up at 7:30, got up, did the pet stuff, had breakfast, and went outside to hook up. It all went well even though I had to reposition the truck a little. It still took an hour to get going though.
Traffic was a little heavy at times, but the trip through the 100 miles or so of the SLC metro area was uneventful. The worse part was trying to figure out what lane to be in. I was always going significantly lower then the posted speed.
We got pretty good mileage, over 11. We stopped after going 225 miles. The first place we stopped at didn't have card operated pumps. We went across the freeway and filled up there. It was a little more expensive, but so what.
The rest of the tripe went well mileage wise. We made 12.4 mpg even though we went up and down at least 3,000 feet.
Unfortunately the truck went into regen 2 miles before we got to the RV park. That meant we had to keep driving through St. George. We went 11 miles and then turned around. The route was up and down hills. Whenever the EGT dropped below 900 or above 1200 the regen would quit. The regen finished 1 mile after our turnoff, so we had to go 2 miles to the next.
We got off, but there was no way to get back on the highway. There wasn't even a place to make a U turn until we were clear down the hill at the gun club turn off. CRAP.
It was 90 degrees when we got to the park. Setup went well though. We even got the Star Link set up quickly. After that I went inside and set down. My leg had hurt last night - I had to sleep only on my back. It also hurt whenever I was walking. CRAP.
Ellen fixed coconut shrimp for dinner - I didn't feel like going anywhere. After dinner was videos on the TV. The antenna has an unobstructed view, so there was plenty of bandwidth.
