Willard Bay

We took our new toy to Willard Bay and camped for four days. It is a nice campground but too close to the freeway and very noisy. If we keep the vents in our trailer closed, it's not too bad. The water there is really nice and warm. It would be a good place to go for a family reunion. The kids would love to swim there in the warm water. We saw some pelicans there. And the sunset was beautiful.

Our new trailer is so nice. We have queen bed that is comfy. We have a full sized shower and even a shower on the outside to shower off when people need to shower after swimming. It has a microwave and central air and heating. You can set the water heater to electric or gas and fridge as well. You can do this with a flip of a switch. No lighting anything. The stove has an electric start so you don't have to light it. The trailer has a slide out which operates with a flip of a switch and an awning that works that way too. It also came with a flat screen HD TV and DVD player and radio. There are hookups in the bedroom too for a TV. So we can have two TVS.

We went to visit Monica and Jay and then the next day we went to The Golden Spike Monument. We watched a film there on how the railroad came together at Promontory Point. We were going to go see the locomotives but our Suburban would not start. We had to get a jump and we went back to the campground and then it would not start as soon as we turned it off. It had a brand new battery. After we got home, we took it to have the battery checked and it was fine. The only thing we could think of was the battery cables were bad. We took it to Murdock Hyundai and had all new battery cables put in and the oil changes and new belts. But Matt found out that the water pump was failing and so we had to replace it. He also fixed the trailer brakes which were put in wrong by Gene Harvey Chevrolet. All in all, was spent a lot of money getting it fixed. We know that we saved a lot though by having Matt fix it. We do appreciate him. The Suburban works fine now. We are planning a trip to Zion's Park the end of this month.

Our hobby is expensive but it is worth it. Life is good. You only live once.
