Well...as you can tell, I am way behind on our travel blog so I thought I would just combine these days into one posting.
Monday was our last day at Sam’s Town and it was spent primarily getting ready to leave in the morning....basically a work day for everyone. Steve and I went out to run a couple of errands and fill up with diesel. That took way longer than expected so I was late getting the ribs into the oven...we’re having Suzanne and Dennis over...but they turned out great just the same. We spent a lovely last night in Las Vegas...great dinner...great entertainment (Eagles Farewell Tour DVD)...and great company!Poor Dunkin was exhausted...
It was just before 9:00 when we pulled out of Sam’s Town...Dennis and Suzanne leading the way in their coach—we are travelling north together. It was a beautiful morning...a great day for travelling. What is that white stuff in the distance? Snow on the mountain tops...
We passed Hill Air Force Base outside Vegas...
Beautiful drive through a gorge on the way to St. George, Utah...
The scenery on today's drive was just spectacular! This is the Virgin River...
See the little arch up in the mountain?...
The snow covered mountains are just stunning...
Snow!
This semi had a bit of a mishap...I wonder what happened...perhaps he fell asleep?
After a long day of driving (and loosing an hour due to a time zone change), we stopped at the Fillmore KOA in the little town of Fillmore, Utah...
Cheers!
We were up Wednesday morning and on the road again around 9:00...our destination today is Brigham City, Utah, just north of Salt Lake City. We have booked into the same RV park that we stayed at on our way south last October.
Another beautiful travel day with spectacular scenery...
There just weren`t enough rest areas along the Interstate...we had to pull off at an exit for a pee break...
We were in the lead today...Suzanne took these pictures of us...

Through Salt Lake City...on a very busy freeway...
It was a shorter drive today...we arrived at Golden Spike RV Park in Brigham City, Utah at 1:00 p.m...
Ashley, a 6 year old girl that is living here in the park while their house is being built, took this picture for us...
This is Ashley with her dog, Jack...
We were on the road early again on Thursday. We started off with lots of blue sky but there were some dark looking clouds in the distance...but we managed to skirt around them. The scenery wasn't quite as spectacular as it had been the last couple of days...but it was still another great day for travelling.
The Snake River...
It was around 2:00 when we pulled into Mountain Home RV Park...in Mountain Home, Idaho. The sun was shining...it was warm...we quickly changed into our shorts. After getting all set up, we sat outside for a bit...and then Steve and I decided we would go for a walk around the park before happy hour. 
It turned out to be a very good idea, because we stopped and talked to a couple (that ended up working/hosting at the park) that also had a Montana fifth wheel. Steve asked about the tires...that is when we learned that the tires wear oddly...and are basically "cheap garbage". They had had 3 tires blow in less than 5000 miles with lots of damage to the skirting. We found out that it is not an alignment issue...instead it is a problem with the tires. The Montanas have Goodyear Marathon tires that have a tread separation problem. After our conversation, we continued our walk and decided that we had better check into a tire store here in Mountain Home. Looks like we are all going to stay another night here while we get new tires tomorrow.
