7/8/15 - This morning Annie was working from home so she was able to help me get things ready to travel.  Since she has an excellent vacuum cleaner, she decided to quickly vacuum and also treated the leather seats.  It was great and the RV is cleaner than it has been for a while.  I am not sure what time I took off but just outside of Denver it already started to rain.  Sometimes, it rained fairly hard but not enough for me to stop.  I crossed into Wyoming and stopped off at a really nice information center and got some information so I can plan my two weeks.  I was not very hungry so had one of Annie's brownies and a glass of milk.  I then drove just a few miles and decided to stop for diesel since it was only $2.39 a gallon!! I had over a quarter of a tank but was not sure when the next service would be.  Since I had someone behind me waiting, I decided to pull out and then paid the bill.  When I started the engine, my heart almost stopped because the engine light came on but the stop engine light did not.  I turned everything off, went in to pay for the fuel and learned that there was a truck repair shop just down the frontage road.  When I got back in and started the engine, the light did not come on. I waited a minute and then decided to continue my journey.  The light has not come on since.

I got to the Walmart in Casper, Wyoming at 4:19pm.  Now, I was hungry so wanted something quick.  I ended up making mac and cheese and it was very good.  I then put more things away, emptied  a small bag and put it back in storage underneath the RV. Well, there was mouse food that I had inside the RV so how it got there I will never know.  When we were doing the vacuuming, Annie found a lot of mouse poop all over so who knows how many were living in the RV!!  I sure hope they are all dead by now.

I went to check the car and now I have a dead battery.  So will drive to campground tomorrow and see ifsomeone has a car I can use because I have jumper cables but if not I will call AAA.  It had not been driven very much the past 7 weeks but this morning it was fine.  I started work and heard a shrieking noise to learn that my battery needed to be changed in my smoke alarm.  Lucky I was able to reach it by standing on the dining table!!  Now, I have ran the generator for an hour so am getting ready to go to bed.  I believe I have about 230 miles but none of it is interstate so will take longer.

For a while during the traveling it was only 53 degrees but in Casper it was not raining and was 65 degrees.  The RV had 75 degrees and right now it is still 72 degrees so hopefully won't be totally frozen by the morning.
