Green River, Utah

We spent a quiet night at Shady Acres Good Sam park in "downtown" Green River. We tucked it in early yesterday and had a peaceful evening walking around and then reading.  Only fly in the ointment is a nonfunctioning refrigerator. It was working while hooked up to AC power from the house; now we can't make it function on AC or gas. Phone calls today, I guess, to see what we're missing. Also, there's an RV repair place listed in Spanish Fork, so we might stop by there. We're hoping to make it to Dillon or Butte, MT, tonight.

The refrigerator problem was not known to us when we went to Centennial RV in Grand Junction yesterday. I had previously called and made an appointment to be there at 1 p.m. to have them adjust the water heater for operation above 4500' and replace the thermocouple. Well, we got there an hour late and by that time had half a dozen other things needing tending to. They fixed all but two of the items on our list in less than two hours and at less than half the price I had feared!

The two parts they didn't have in the shop were a knob on the refrigerator (which I didn't expect them to have in stock) and keeper pins for the anti-sway bar. Sandy had never seen the pins, but I described them to her as "R-shaped." She's wandering around the showroom as I was waiting for the bill and comes up to me with a little packet, wondering if these would work? They were exactly what we needed ... she did it again! Amazing lady!

We regretted being in such a hurry yesterday morning to get to Grand Junction ... the scenes north of Monticello and up the Colorado River from Moab were gorgeous, though the river was running very high. Fortunately, those areas are only a couple of hours from Mancos; we'll be back! tv
