If your plan is to just drive, and stop when you want to, it might be easier after Labor Day. Winding down our great summer in the Northwest, we are heading for Salt Lake City for our annual Freightliner service and for some other services at Charlie's, one of the places that has a good reputation for repairs among Alfa owners.
The above is a picture of our last stop which was at the Fairview RV park in the Southern Idaho State Fairgrounds, in Blackfoot ID.
($25 per night for water and electric). Not fancy, but all we need for an overnight stop.
Unfortunately we were all tired and it was too cold to socialize!
We arrived in Salt Lake a few days before our Freightliner appointment and ended up staying at a commercial park that we have used before, Pony Express. Even with our Good Sam discount their daily rate has gone over $50 per night. Last year it was $44. It seems most of the commercial parks are getting more and more expensive, especially if they are in cities or near desirable "tourist" locations.
Note: My mention of costs and pricing is for the benefit of several of my readers who are currently getting ready for, or just contemplating going full time.
This week has been a bit of a bore. We have seen everything we wanted to see in Salt Lake City during our previous visits, so we more or less just hung out either in the waiting room while at Freightliner, or in the coach while at Charlie's. We had full hook ups at Charlie's and the RV techs came to the Alfa to do the service on the generator, air conditioner, and the couple of other small repairs we needed. We also enjoyed happy hour outside the rigs with several other Alfa owners.
However, on Thursday Craig found information about the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park and Natural History Museum which was not far from where we were.
It was a beautiful day with absolutely perfect temperatures for an outdoor adventure.
That (with nice dinosaur pictures) will be in our next post.
