Day 43, Monday, Oct 14, 2024: Flaming Gorge Wyoming (west side) to Near Jurassic National Monument in Utah.
This morning we rolled south on 530 Vernal...to 44 to 191. We have taken this route one other time (the 530 west side of flaming gorge) and the east side a couple of other times. Its a really nice ride with UP, UP, and down, down, down via 10 switchbacks before entering Vernal. It does flatten out before Vernal.
Move day includes: Oil change at Superior Oil and Lube in Vernal (we have used them before/no unhooking the jeep!) and dumping at the same place $10. Walmart pick up. Propane at Sav on: they do bbq tank and onboard but not sure about turning around in the back as we didn't do onboard.
We had intended to boondock somehwere near Jurassic National monument (cleveland Utah) but it was 3pm and we were just leaving Vernal after all our errands. It would have meant 4 more hours of driving with not much choice inbetween...perhaps Walmart in Price Utah (been there/done that). We elected to use the OHV area just south of Vernal and just off the road as a quick overnight parking area.
AC/generator is cranked as it is about 78 degrees of hot.
Just at dusk we had some excitement. An ambulance comes streaming into one of the side roads. Then there were numerous sheriff cars, including one with a side by side. Also a few random trucks including search and rescue. Somewhere unheard in the back was a helicopter. In the end we found it it was a bike accident.
