3 Aug 2024 – TD 125
After the Golden Spike, we took a rest day.
Unfortunately, we woke up to find that Jarek’s bike had been stolen. A neighboring guest at the RV park relayed to me the the story. Apparently one of the local homeless men hanging around the downtown KOA came in the campground and, while in the process of being chased out of the campground by the staff, grabbed Jarek’s bike and fled.
I filed a police report with the SLC PD, but thus far I haven’t heard anything back on it.
It was still very warm, so the kids spent the day playing in a sprinkler I set up on the grassy part of our site.
Chaos beast can be rather cute at times!
A baby…a bucket…some water…and mud. What could happen? You can see our Starlink in the background. I had to get rather creative as our site was almost entire under a heavy tree canopy and my usual positioning wouldn’t work.
With the determination of an Olympic track and field athlete, Ducky jumps through the sprinkler!
I also took the opportunity to change the cabin air filter in the van. The dusty miles in the Southwest had taken their toll.

Travel day
Departing SLC, we headed north to Twin Falls, ID. On the way out, Meagan stopped with the kids to get some long overdue haircuts.
Ducky gets his hair cut. He had fussed at the dentist last time we took him, but he was very cooperative and smiled the whole time getting his hair cut. He watched the big kids go and wanted to do the big kid thing.
Handsome Ducky!
On the way north, Meagan and the kids stopped for a bathroom break. Unfortunately, the bathrooms and store were closed, but there was a little petting zoo at the gas station. The kids had a good time petting the animals.
Arya got her goat.
At the RV site, Alan is setting up the front of the RV. Firefly is all done with this trip and ready to go home.
Later that night, Randal explores the bottom of the lunch box looking for snacks for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th dinner. The little monster is always hungry!
On the drive north, the truck popped some codes. I located a shop just down the road from the campground (in walking distance actually!) to work on it.
