Day 838. August 21, 2021. We'll Figure This Out... Right?

Four weeks parked alongside this park in Salt Lake City.

Time’s doing something strange. The days feel slow. Predictable. Calm even. And yet somehow… a full month has passed.

Immediately figured out that a spot in an RV park was now out of the question. No RV park I’m aware of would allow us to tow a broken down RV into one of their “short term” spots.

Next up... Call insurance.

Call roadside assistance.
