I was going to mention, it's Washington that legalized pot, not Oregon!

We're not quite home, yet, but I have to say that Califirnia has maintained its reputation as having the worst roads in the west, and Nevada still has the best. Arizona's seem to have deteriorated in the last two years, with I-40 west of Flagstaff being quite rough.

Jon, we probably passed each other this morning. We spent last night in Twin Falls, and came on to Baker City today. Another 150 some miles into Kennewick tomorrow, where we'll spend the rest of the week with Nikki's mom.

Bob, I agree wholeheartedly about those chains. I don't like chaining up a car, one of the advantages of the Jeep.

We wimped out and revised our plans last minute due to snow. Provo was supposed to snow today, and possibly tomorrow, when we'd be coming through those mountains between Price and Provo. So we headed west. Boulder City NV tonight, Ely NV tomorrow. Cold there too, but no snow.

Bob, that's not a bad idea. Although I'm trying to figure out where to artach a magnet to the cloth top or plastic bumper. I'd also have to give up my play day today to do that. I don't think Nikki wants to do that.

Well, Camping World determined that the problem with lights between the coach and the Jeep is a bad circuit board. So of course they have no replacement, it has to come from Country Coach. So Nikki is driving the car back while I drive the coach.

Had a good visit with Ron and Carol Monday night. We're sitting at Camping World in Mesa right now getting the wiring between the coach and Jeep fixed. Then off to Holbrook east of Winslow Arizona.

Not sure what the temperature is, but at 7:20 am I'm sitting outside in shorts and tee shirt. Quite comfortable!
Thanks for the good word on route 191 through Utah. I'd figured it was pretty good, Moab is in that road, after all.
Jon, we'll be almost passing each other on the freeway, as we travel north, leaving here a week from today.

RE: NW Spring Rally - May 17-19, 2013 - Dayton, OR
I know some of you guys have travelled through Utah, any comments on US 191 Through Utah. Essentially I-40 in AZ to Provo?
Thanks.

How's US 191 through Utah?
We're planning on traveling from Holbrook AZ through Blanding UT and on to Provo in our 40 ft Motorhome pulling our Jeep. Are there any issues with that road that I should be aware of?
Also, is diesel readily available?
Thanks.

RE: NW Spring Rally - May 17-19, 2013 - Dayton, OR
Had a successful rn in the desert yesterday with Bob and the gang. Had to be successful. Tested out the skid plate on a rock outcropping that was a bit too sharp for a stock Jeep. Got hung up on a loose rock, that I swear, Bob put there just for me. :). Actually, i had to chooses between the rock or the cliff, and I think I chose correctly, other than we should have just gotten out and moved the darn thing. Oh, well, the Jeep behind me pulled us off and it was all good. Forgot to take a picture first, though.
Leaving here on Friday for Apache Junction.

RE: NW Spring Rally - May 17-19, 2013 - Dayton, OR
We arrive here at the Catalina Spa and RV Resort in Desert Hot Springs yesterday, after surviving the California highways. Had the wire harness that connects the coach to the Jeep come disconnected and destroy itself on the highway, we've had issues with it. Meaning that we had no lights on the Jeep, which according to California law is okay, but it also meant that the battery disconnect didn't work correctly and the battery on the Jeep is dead at the end of each travel day.
We plan to stay here until Sunday, when we travel to Yuma.

Had a relatively uneventful trip to Junction City where we're now sitting in the Country Coach factory lot. See my blog post if you're interested in more details. Getting annual servicing and 149 point inspection tomorrow and Wednesday.

Bob, tell Sue to get better quick! Baring something dramatic, we will be in Yuma on February 24. Not sure whether we'll leave on March 8, 9, or 10.
