IDAHO & UTAH~Pushing On Towards Lower Elevation

August 16th: We were up bright and early to get to St. Anthony-ID for the tire switches.

Pulled out the arsenal again. LOL

Ready to roll …

Today's aspirations …

Early bird breakfast.

A tire malfunction was the issue: we had not run over anything, and the road was not a fiery inferno - we were in no way at fault.

We already knew all this … but it was good to have it confirmed.

After that was done, we headed towards Salt Lake City-UT, listening to one of Holland's favorite bands …

Boston Greatest Hits - The Best Songs Of Boston: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awjBLm41xJI

… and ended up pushing through to Elko-NV; where we pulled up for the night, in a graveled side lot, off a liquor store parking lot.

The ground was level.

The atmosphere was quiet (the store was locked up for the night).

And the price was right ;-)

Spendy day; ALL the tires were replaced with new ones - 5th wheel & 4x.

The attitude this side of the Cascades is waaaay different than we are used to; we LIKE it.

Trailer Brake readjustment - glad that is getting done; this has been a concern to Holland since the May-11-23 Colorado bunny-hopping episode.

Damages Tally; but worth it for peace of mind.

5th wheel tire replacements; all new, all even, all matching; 4x tire replacements; all new, all heftier, all matching.

Quesadillas & Nachos for Lunch; I like this bench design. And, I like bold color - I'm going to this serape blanket pattern into a hospice design.

Elko-NV is tonight's goal.

Crusty salt was everywhere along the Salt Lake-UT route; nearing the Nevada border as the sun was sliding over the evening horizon.

Sunset along the border.

How we are living now may not be everyone's cup of tea: but, it works for us :-)
