July 26^th…………I’ve decided to stay here in Utah another 3 days so I’m back in the Library and posting some new photos and videos, mostly from Pioneer Days. Monticello is a small town I believe officially under 2000 but it supports a large area around it. I enjoyed the few classic cars they had in the parade, especially the Corvair. My 1^st car was a 1961 Corvair hardtop and I rebuilt much of the engine on it. I’m also posting a video tour of my Utah campsite as well as an interior tour of my Rpod camper, a.k.a. Apartment on wheels/Tiny House/maintenance nightmare. The inside tour doesn’t look too bad since I did clean up the clutter LOL. If you hear of anyone thinking of buying an Rpod tell them to reconsider and investigate the experience of owners. I’m also including a video from my dash camera it starts shortly after I get to pavement from my campsite and continues down the mountain toward Monticello. It gives you an idea of the elevation of the mountains above the flat farmlands below. The view is almost due east and most of all you see in the distance is Colorado. Gas prices here are still sitting at $4.95 a gallon and despite the price of crude having fallen over the past 2 weeks there has been no change in gas prices here. Just another example of the oil companies taking advantage of the situation and ripping off the American consumer.

 

I was heading toward Telluride, Colorado but I’m not comfortable with the idea of  camping at 10,000 feet right now. However within 2 weeks my itinerary has me consistently camping at 9000 to 10000 ft for over 30 days so I’m just delaying the inevitable and it’s too hot out this way to move much lower in elevation.
