Rod pulled over quickly got his rain coat and walked back and guess what!!! He found our wiper!!! Still in tact and able to put back on!!! Lost a small clip he could not find so good ole cable ties fixed it just fine!!! We went on to our next destination at Saddleback Campground in Parachute, Colorado. Small little town just out side of Grand Junction, Colorado.
Sept 9th we drove into Grand Junction to spend the day and for me to see a Dr as I have had trouble with my ears for several days, and now beginning to have some pain. After the removal of some crusted ear wax I was hearing great and felt much better. The Dr said really common with some people with hearing aids and the dry air up here. Or maybe I am just getting old!!! Lol
Found a Napa store that gave us a new clip for our cable tied windshield wiper!!! Thank you Napa store for coming to the rescue. We found a great Chinese restaurant had lunch and toured around town for a while. We were late getting into town as the Interstate had us stopped for a little over and hour for road work coming into town. We hit a few pawn shops as Rod is looking for a small set of wrenches and he found a set for $5.00!! He was thrilled!!!!
Sept 10th We decided to drive back east about 10 miles and visited a small town called Rifle, Colorado. We walked around the town, visited the Walmart had lunch at City BBQ stopped in and visited a place called Shooters grill and wished we had went there for lunch. All the waitresses had cowboy outfits, guns included!!! They said they had been featured on TV several times!! A great day in Rifle!!!
Sept 11th We decided to get up and leave early and travel 2 hrs to Arches National Park in Moab, Utah. What an incredible adventure and we were sure glad we made the drive!!! It’s only a 18 mile park but the views are stunning!!!! A long day but sure was worth the trip.
Sept 12th We got the car loaded and packed up the RV and off we went again toward Salt Lake City our next destination!! We drove through Provo Utah which is a much bigger city than I expected. Oh but before we got there we were going through a town called Spanish Fork and low and behold my side of the windshield wipers broke!!! Again all I could say was REALLY!!! So agin we found a Napa store there in town and it took them an hour to find a wiper that would work for us, repaired again and on the road again!!!
We drove about an hour through the work evening through Salt Lake and found a Cracker Barrel stopped for the night, had supper, and about ready for bed!!! The views today have just been more than word can express.
I’ll post a few pics!! I have taken over 2500 pics on this trip already!!!
Please keep us in prayer for safe travels and now everything is new on the windshield and new wipers we hope that will not be an issue again!!! Lol
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
