Golden Spike RV Park - Brigham, UT

Whoo, what a day! I spent much too much time on the roof of DuEtte today (luckily without my boot…)! Started out in Great Basin and thinking that we needed to dry out our awning that took a pounding last night. After several attempts at different sites to get to a level and sunny section to dry things out, we decided to pack everything up and head to the Visitor’s Center. We knew they had a big parking lot where we could get lots of sun. After getting a half-hearted OK from the ranger to hang in the parking lot, we proceeded to pull out my 3-wood, wrap it in a towel and wipe the underside and topside of the awning, and wipe all of the sap off from the pine cones that were lodged on the awning - lesson learned, don’t park under pine trees! While I was up there, I decided to clean and inspect all of the solar panels. Luckily, no hail damage, but they were dirty!!! After all of that, we realized that our awning does not seem to close completely.  So, we McGivered it with some twine until we can get something more substantial on it. Whew, now we could hit the road, we decided to head straight into Utah and try to skirt as much of Salt Lake City as we could (plus, we lost an hour with the time change). Ended up in Brigham, which puts us in good shape for tomorrow’s adventures!!
