We left Sturgis headed to Wyoming to visit our friends in Thyane. The east side of Wyoming is very boring. Spent the night at the Wind River Casino in Riverton, electric only and no water available.
Got ready to leave in the morning and the satellite dish wouldn't go down! It's 11 years old, but you certainly cannot drive down the road with it up. Mark removed it and we will have to deal with it later.
We arrived safely after a beautiful drive through the Tetons to Thayne WY. The eastern side of WY was boring but once we left Riverton it was amazing.

Arrived at Star Valley Ranch Resort where our friends Paul and Tammy have a lot and just got their park model delivered.
-------------------------
Left the next morning early as we were headed to the Elks Lodge in Provo Utah. We have stayed here before, and the spots fill up quick. 50 amp and full hookups for $20. We scored the best spot!
Mark did a ton of research and replaced the satellite dish with a different one from the original one that we had. The company that makes it is based right in Provo.
The smoke from the wildfires was really bad for a few days but finally cleared.
Located a nice disc golf course in a valley.
Provo canyon is so pretty with waterfalls and a nice walking trail.

Left Provo on the 6th of September headed to Green River. Leaving Provo on Highway 6 the mountains and scenery are so pretty.
Found some cool oddities in Green River Utah. Titled ‘Elements’ this structure comprises four 10-meter-high columns, one topped in 23-carat gold, representing the four elements, Earth, Fire, Water and Wind. "The Ratio" is based on the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical concept of universal significance similar to the Golden Ratio of science and mathematics. 44 feet high and 42 feet wide and topped by a golden square. The structures, part of Rogers' "Rhythms of Life" project, are found in deserts, fjords, gorges and national parks. The giant watermelon slice is 25 feet long, built in the 1950s to take part in the town's Watermelon Days (now called the Melon Days) festival. Went to the museum and then had lunch at this great place “Ray’s”, wonderful atmosphere, cold beer and friendly folks. Oh, it’s the only bar in town! Get out there and explore.
==============
Left Green River headed to Mancos CO where we have friends, Kate and Roger. We met them in Florida 7 years ago, when they first hit the road. It's been 3 years since we saw them last, and they are building a house.
They have hookups which is very accommodating!
It's my Birthday so of course we found a Mexican restaurant.

We helped the Mancos Trails group create a new trail that has been in the making for a while with Kate and Roger. It was a great experience.

Left Mancos CO headed to Gallop NM for the night then onto Show Low, AZ.
All setup in Show Low AZ. Gotta love friends that have friends. Thank you, Barb and Larry, for hooking us up with this great spot! We work camped with them in California.
Spent a few days visiting and then headed onto Mesa, AZ where Larry Weisgerber hooked us up again with a spot for a couple of days. Big shot out to Mark for getting a square peg in a round hole! Can’t open one slide but that’s okay as it puts Mark only a few feet in front of the TV!
Left Mesa headed to our winter location at Western Way RV Resort in Tucson!
All setup for the winter. My tooth was bothering me in Mesa, and I ended up having to have it pulled. After that we loaded up the dully and headed to Leland NC to get our little camper and shut down Marks RV Repair business.
Thanks for following the Gypsies and hop on over to my Etsy shop for my handmade sterling silver jewelry.
