Saturday, June 23rd - Refrig. Fixed

This morning, UPS delivered the thermistor, ventilation fan and the switch just as promised. It took Terrell about one hour to install the parts and we were on our way, once again. Terrell has been great. He made us a priority (probably because we were taking up too much space in his parking area.

MA drove the Jeep and I drove the coach about 10 miles to the Flying J Truck Stop in Springville, UT. We had been running the generator and air conditioners about 12 hours/day and I wanted to have a full load of fuel before we hit Colorado. Everything I see on the various web sites dealing with fuel prices looks like Utah (@ $2.87) is 30 cents/gallon cheaper than Colorado. I know that Kansas, around Dodge City is $2.71 so, Hopefully, I won't need to refuel in Colorado. I have yet to pay more than $2.999 for diesel fuel and I want that to continue!

We did have some difficulty with overheating going up the west side of the Wasatch Mountain Range. About halfway up, my engine monitoring system reported engine temps over 220 degrees. So, I turned off the A/C and disconnected the Jeep. I still had to stop two more times to let the engine cool back to under 200 degrees.

We are in the coal mining town of Price, UT for the night. We had stopped for lunch at JB's in Price and a fellow diner asked us if we were going to the Demolition Derby being held tonight at the Carbon County Fairgrounds. I said we did not know anything about it. I had been to a demolition derby with my parents when we lived in Oklahome City. It sounded like fun so...we made Price, Utah our home for the night.

When it came time to go to the derby, my coach outside thermometer read 101 degrees. We both decided that was too hot and we rented movies and went to Cold Stone Creamery instead.
