Day 3798

 We woke up at 7.  I got up, ate breakfast, and we started to hook up.  Everything went normally and we were on the road by 7:50.

The first 40 miles were brutal.  It's a long climb out of Grant's Pass and there was a really strong headwind.  We got 6.7 mpg.  After that the climb lessened and the wind died down.  Eventually we were averaging 10.5.  That went down when we did a regen.

We fueled up about 40 miles south of Provo.  We might have been able to make it all the way, but it would have been really close.

The whole drive was just long and boring.  I like boring drives.  Of course there had to be a short meeting with an asshole trucker.  He passed me going less than 1 mph.  Shortly after he couldn't hold speed on a hill and I passed him.  The road climbed for a while and I never saw him again.

Traffic through SLC wasn't bad.  There were quite a few cars, but there was also a lot of traffic lanes.  We got to the park a little after two.  That's an average of almost 62 mph.  That's not bad considering we made a stop.

 When we got to the park it was 52 degrees and windy.  We're not used to that.  We unhooked and went to fuel up.  When we got back I sat down in the chair and watched videos for the rest of the day.

Ellen fixed hamburgers for dinner.  We had leftover french fries to go with them. 

We've got 300 miles tomorrow.  I'm going to have Ellen call around Boise to see if someone has an A/C.
