The alarm woke us up at 7:00. We got up, had breakfast, and then hooked up. We left at 8.
The first 200+ miles were pretty uneventful. There was a lot of up and down, culminating in a 6100 foot summit. I was happy with the mileage, 10.5. We filled up at a really convenient place about 20 miles south of Provo.
Traffic up through Provo wasn't all that heavy and a fairly easy drive. Then unfortunately every asshole drive in Sat Lake decided to join. I had many occurrences of people diving just in front of me. I even had a semi force his way over into my lane. I had to brake or he would have hit me. The cherry on top was a multi-mile long traffic jam because someone had decided to have a car fire in the right two lanes. Fortunately no one seemed to want to drive in the HOV lane. I got into it and passed up the whole traffic jam going 50+ mph.
A little above the traffic jam traffic thinned out and the idiots disappeared. I was thankful for small favors.
We got to the park and set up. I was going to get fuel and maybe something to eat. Ellen was too tired, having sat on her ass for the 7+ hour trip, so I filled up alone and just came home to watch videos.
Dinner was leftovers. Remember Ellen was exhausted from a day of napping and marathon Scooter games.
After dinner was a little videos and surfing before an early bed time.
I am glad to be over the longest leg of the trip. However, tomorrow is almost as long.
