The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

THE GOOD:  There was actually a lot of “good” about today.  Emma and I were on the road just minutes past 8:00, as planned.  There were no winds, and we made it to the RV repair place in Idaho Falls shortly before 10:30.  Since we weren’t going anywhere, they took the rig right in.  :)

After three hours, we were back on the road and headed for Mountain View RV Park just outside of Arco, Idaho.  I think the total trip today was about 170 miles.  Since I’ve got about two weeks or so and about 600 total miles to cover, I decided to stay at this park for a week.
This is the view from my site.  Those are numbers on that mountain.  Each year, the High School graduating class  etches their year into the side of the mountain.  So far, the oldest year I’ve found is 1955, but I’m sure I’ll find an older date when it stops raining.  I’ll give more details of this park in a later post.
After doing the basic set up, Emma and I took a walk, and found these goats in the field right behind us.  The goat on the left seems to be the leader of the group.  Of course, Emma was very excited to find “wildlife” bigger than ground squirrels.  :)  (get a load of those horns!)
As we walked along the fence line, the goats came galloping after us.  They were very interested in us.  I found an apple tree and picked up a few drops to give to them.  They seemed to be pleased with the treat.  :)

THE BAD: While the techs at Smith RV in Idaho Falls took care of a few minor things for me, they could not fix the washer/dryer, couldn’t do an oil change, couldn’t diagnose the problem with my erratic steps, and told me the surround sound was just fine.  Yea, right!  I asked to have the tech show me that the surround sound was working.  He couldn’t.  We both worked on it for about an hour and eventually got it to work if I am watching TV using local channels through the antenna, but that’s about it.  (I got the impression that I knew more about the entertainment system than he did, which is kind of scary)  Doesn’t work with a DVD, and tonight I found out it doesn’t work with the DISH.  Guess I’ll have to make a trip to Winnebago headquarters in Iowa one of these days.  :(

THE UGLY:
I really don’t want to talk about this one.  Suffice it to say, that I made a real boo boo today!
Dang!! :(

Thanks for stopping by….talk to you later,  Judy
