Alaska Day 24

The day of events. That what today was. First I decided to do some wash before we left. The washer was OK, but the dryer was a piece of crap. Took over an hour for thing to dry, so we didn't hit the road until 7:00 am.

The second event was when I lost my cooler on I-90. Once again, I forgot to strap down my cooler, so if your looking for a slightly used red and white cooler with some banged up cokes, then check I-90 just west of Missoula, MT. We didn't even bother to turn around, when I saw it sliding down the freeway I knew it was a lost cause.

At Missoula we turned south on 93. What a scenic road. We just cruised down the road dodging deer and other critters. We stopped at a rest area, and that is when the third event took place. Dick found that one of his trailer bearings is not in good shape. We went on down the road, but the only solution we found was to keep going. The wheel is rolling straight and the wheel is not getting hot, so he is going to try and limp it home.

We entered Idaho again and headed for Idaho Falls. The drive was fantastic with mountains on both sides, and a running river next to us. We just cruised along not having a care in the world except for a lost cooler, crappy dryer, and a bad bearing.

We checked into a motel in Idaho Falls around 3:00 pm. Tomorrow we plan to make it to Rangley, CO or possibly Grand Junction. We will see how it works out.
