Green River, Utah, the first exit you come to on I-70 west in Utah that has services! There is a sign at this exit that reads, "next services 110 miles"! Thank goodness there is a Pilot here so we can tap off the fuel; we don't want another "Oklahoma"! When we leave here, we will be headed to Salt Lake City via US 191/6, which was recommended to us at the Visitor's Center and interestingly enough Google Maps agrees! I wonder what the GPS will say about this Saturday when we hit the road again.
Our trip to Green River was a 65 mph drive on an 80 mph highway! The cars flew by us while we just plodded along at our pace. We have noticed the California drivers must have truly "lead" feet! They seem to be in the biggest rush on the interstate!
The KOA here at Green River is quite nice but in dire need of shade trees! I can't imagine how hot it will be here next month! We are lucky that the mid-to-high 80s are customary for us, but it is a drier heat here which makes it much more tolerable. Tonight will be the first night we don't have an extra blanket on!
There are a lot of day trips in the immediate Green River area, which we will do a few, but our goal is to head to the Canyonlands, a national park we have never been to and have always wanted to see. We will bypass The Arches because we have been there several times with and without the kids, before RVing!
The scenery along I-70 is beautiful with the buttes and mesas, as well as mountains in the far distance still snow-covered. There is a flood watch for an area 30 miles from here with a scattered thunderstorm or two (what's new) but otherwise lots of sun!
The Internet at the park is quite good but I am having technical difficulties at the moment with posting photos, which I will do at next post, which will probably be in a few days.
Until next blog ...
