Well we decided to leave the afternoon of June 4 to start heading for the Pacific Northwest and some cooler weather. Our first stop was Page, AZ for an overnight. I was certainly still hot. We just did a trucker's pull office there north of page. One thing to note was that the Maverick station in Page had a free RV dump and fill.
On June 5, we headed down the road. We made a quick stop at Bryce Canyon, near the Losee Canyon Campsite we hit when we went to Yellowstone.
We continued down the road after a while and went to the laundromat in Beaver, UT that we hit on the way back from Yellowstone. What was nice was that there it still use quarters and no cards or anything to buy. We also brought the dogs inside and no one even said a word, they just sort of accepted it as normal. I guess small towns still have something going for them.
Finally, we ended up just south of Holden, UT for the night. This was near where we camped before on our way back from Yellowstone. The wife didn't think it was the same place, but I'm pretty sure if we had detached and went further down the road, we would have found the one campsite we had seen before. Guess she thought we hadn't gone so far down the road or not.
On side note, we traveled too long this day without stops.
June 6, got up around 9am local time, which was good we needed the rest after the previous days travel. Went and got cheap gas in Spanish Fork, that we found on the Gas Buddy app. We then stopped at a Smith Grocery Store (which to our delight was part of the Kroger brand of stores). After that we traveled a bit to Park in Farr West, UT.
On the final leg of our trip we had to find water and gas. We bypassed a few options, which might have been a mistake. We ended up stopping in Burley, ID. We got gas and then looked to water. We found a water at a Smith's store near the Air station. We filled up everything and then a little more. We didn't get more drinking water thought, which was not good since on the way to our final camp site the Oakley Reservoir, we didn't find an open store (to be fair it was Sunday night around 730pm). We did finally find a spot to camp out and we finally parked at 8pm. It was still light out since the sun didn't set until 901pm (to be up again at 6am).
