We got off in good time today: 7:05am! A quick stop at Hardee’s for breakfast. There was no way they want to let that trailer go through McDonalds!
Heading down the hill into the Sun and the Helena Valley.
At the South end of Elk Park, before heading down the hill into Butte, there were a few strange clouds. And it was -27 degrees?
Just over the hill and down a bit from the Continental Divide, the temps had warmed to a balmy -12 or so, and the mirrors fogged up from condensation…
The snowplows really throw the snow down here!
More funny clouds south of Dillon…
The rig with the Dailylife Wife staying warm at the Rest Area in Lima, /\/\onTana!
Into Idaho! And the only really slippery road of the day.

Really strange clouds south of Idaho Falls…
Into Utah!

We have had really good mileage today…8.2MPG GF to Rocker, and 9.3MPG Rocker to Idaho Falls! The last tank of the day we will fill and figure in the morning.
This is how: 55-60MPH and being in Fourth Gear when not running uphill.
After Tremonton, it started getting dark. And not just because the sun went down!
We finally made it to Layton, UT, and our Holiday Inn…at about 6pm! I didn’t think we could average 50MPH for the 545miles, but we did! There is a lot more margin if you are driving 75-80, but we stayed at 55-60. No really bad weather was a lot of it. So it was off to Outback, or “Out_ack” as their sign says. A long walk across the parking lot…
Baked Potato soup…it is really good here!
While I like the soup too, I decided on a Blooming Onion Burger…just to have a small taste of the Blooming Onion…it is so good and so hard on the digestion!!!

A vertical panorama!
Outside it was kind of winter wonderland? A pretty, snowy tree by the Utility Box!
And way down yonder across the parking lot is our rig!
And here it is a little closer…
Hopefully a shorter day (by 200 miles!) to St.George and a Holiday Inn with a jetted tub to wash away two days of aches and pains. I think the hot tub at our RV Park will be getting more than a few visits from me this year!
Light snow (less than an inch) expected tomorrow…
