Finally back in the land of internet. So to continue with the ongoing saga of Grumble's birthday leap. We spent two days at the state park at Farewell Bend. This is right on the Snake river where to wagon trains left the Snake and traveled to get to the Columbia. Very dry, but pretty country. And from all the fishing boats in the campground, very good fishing.
We did our usual 200 miles to Declo, Idaho after a stop at Camping World for a couple of things that got misplaced for setting up the satellite. On our meanderings a light came on in the truck. Nothing seemed wrong but decided to have it checked out at the Ford dealership in Burly. Seems like the oil cooler was getting plugged and the engine was heating up. Will take about 8 hours to fix, at least.
New plan. Extended our stay here at the Village of Trees RV Resort. It's right on the Snake, lots of cottonwoods and a swimming pool. The trailer and cats will stay here until Wednesday. If the truck is done. Cancel the rv park in Jackson, get a motel room for one night. Also rent a car so we can go sightseeing around here(City of Rocks, Dufee Hot Springs), then drive to Jackson on Sunday. This way, Marv can take his birthday leap on schedule and we can make it to Colter Bay RV park on Wednesday.
The weather has finally gotten warm and nice and sunny. Will be fun tomorrow on the road trip tomorrow. I will take pictures and post one or two tomorrow night.
Guess that is all for now. Til later.
