Summer 2023, Day 42: Moab, Day 9

When I attempted to put the truck camper back on the truck, I discovered that the truck camper’s corner jacks are not strong enough to lift truck camper with it full of stuff, so Trish and I went to town and bought a farm jack which we used today to help unload the front jacks to be able to lift the front of the truck camper so we could get the truck camper back onto the truck:

As we worked, a hot air balloon flew over and landed a few hundred yards away on the road:

I took a few farewell pictures after the truck camper was on the truck:

I reluctantly dropped off Trish at the airport before driving east to overnight at a rest stop on Interstate 70 near Glenwood Springs, Colorado:

We then rented a UTV and drove the “Fins and Things” route.  Some of the grades were quite extreme, but we didn’t flip over:

After returning the ATV, we went to the local sporting goods store and bought a set of discs for disc golf.  We played the Old City Park course.  We originally thought we would just throw for one hole, so we left our water bottle and other stuff in the car, but we were having fun that we played sixteen holes in the high 90s under the hot Moab sun in the afternoon. We were pretty thoroughly dehydrated by the time we got back to the car:
