We’ve traveled about 1,000 miles over the last three days with stops in three states. Only 1,400 miles to go to get to Houston.
Here are the highlights from our last three stops:
Thursday: Grande Hot Springs RV Resort, La Grande, Oregon
At this RV Park, we had a nice soak in the hot tub that is heated by water from the nearby historic Hot Lake Springs. The water is collected at 171 degrees from the springs and used to heat the buildings on the property and heat the pool/spa. We awoke to a chilly 38 degrees.
Friday: Village of Trees RV Resort, Declo, Idaho
This park had a cafe at the office that delivered food to your campsite. Room Service! A burrito and a pizza delivered in a golf cart for only $8.52. Gotta love it.
Saturday: Fillmore KOA, Utah
Traveling south from Idaho to Utah, the skies got very hazy. Eventually, we rounded a curve in the road and saw smoke billowing from a mountain. The high winds that had been taunting and pushing at Thor all morning were contributing to the out of control wildfire. We reached a road closure due to the blaze. There were no signs indicating how to detour the area so vehicles were pulled over on the side of the road trying to figure out what to do. Thank goodness for cell phones. We found another RV Park outside of the closed area and away from the smoke.
We couldn’t escape the winds however. It was just ridiculously windy at the KOA camp with everyone hunkering down inside their campers. We got the RV set up and then lost power. Chris checked all the fuses and whatnots while I stayed out of the way. Finally, after doing some googling, he discovered that our “House Battery” switch had been turned off somehow. Probably Jack’s tail is what we figure. Poor Jack always gets the blame 😏
Next stop: Durango, Colorado.
