#19-Evening Update from Rock Springs WY

WHITEHOUSECA: 3 SIRS and RV 

We drove about 5 hours today.  MTS. and hills-some road construction before Salt Lake City.  Going east like we are was not bad--west bound going into Salt Lake City there was at least a 3 mile back up.  So far, I-80 really has not had much construction.  Hope that continues.
This morning getting ready to leave I was speaking to a individual who asked, "how do you select where to stay?"  It is easy only two ways--The way I like is to select three or four around where I think we will end up each day.   That is done by looking at Good Sam's book of sites (we are members), KOA book (we also are members) checking on line with FMCA to see recommended spots, and looking at RVillage (on line group with no fee or gold level fee) and the one I have mentioned before Harvest Host.   The second way is to drive as far as you can and have Lee start looking for nearby locations and watch for signs. 
Today, we used plan two.  Drove about as far as I wanted and Lee starts looking in the books for spots.  W e found this KOA RV Park for tonight.   It is ok but not as great as last night.  It has all of the things you need--electric   hook-up,  water,  tv ,  and wifi.  What I don't like is the gravel.  I would rather have some grass for the boys.  Being members of KOA we did get the spot for $43.00 with our discount. 
We  did stop at a super Flying J gas station in UT before we left the state.  It had grass, RV fueling spots and gas costing only $2.32 per gal.  Being members of Good Sam gives you a 3 cent discount. .   Driving across the country you see what a great country we have.  You see the size and the openness.  You think about those who went across in a wagon and on horses.  We complain that a RV park has gravel not grass.  I am sure those wagon travelers would have loved gravel
Lee is cooking tonight.  Yes, will have a home cooked meal (mac and cheese) is one item.  The boys are doing fine--tired because the watch me drive all day.  Maybe they are learning.

Until next time we meet on our journey:
