7:55 am - Saturday - April 4th - TWW - 46° F, humidity 12%, cloud cover 12%, wind 20 mph out of the east by northeast.....cloudless, blue sky right now with a forecast high today of 69° F. On this date in 2015 TLE and I arrived at Goosenecks State Park.....
......in Southern Utah.....you might have thought this was Horseshoe Bend near Page, AZ, but you would be wrong. This is the San Juan River near Mexican Hat, UT. We stayed for almost two weeks....one of the top 5 boondock sites from our 14 years of travel. The Newell and trailer are literally parked about 50' behind me in this picture. The view this morning....
....we are in our 7th day of wind, but today should be the last....we hope!
It was still too cold, and windy to caulk the barn roof Friday, and frankly too cold and windy to do much of anything outdoors. We were expecting to hear at any time that the replacement auxiliary turbo coolant pump had been delivered to our PO Box in Seligman, so we remained indoors awaiting the notification. It finally came around 11:30 am, so we got dressed and headed into Seligman arriving there without incident around 12:30 pm.
First stop was the General Store to buy some large, flat washers to aid in affixing the insulation board to the inside of the shed doors, some clear, half inch diameter tubing for my gas syphon hose (the OEM hose's walls were too thin, causing it to kink, and restrict the flow of gasoline), and a vent housing for the shed (we're going to install one of those turbine roof vents)....
....I'm always amazed that this little hardware store has precisely what I need 99% of the time! From there we headed to Westside Lilo's for lunch before hitting the PO Box, and Family Dollar. TLE and I both had salads (Cobb for TLE and a Chicken Caesar for moi), a side of onion rings, and coffee....their coffee is so gooood! While we were eating I noticed a picture of Guy Fieri (Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives) hanging on the wall next to our table, who apparently ate at Westside Lilo's back in 2019....
.....he apparently came there for their famous Carrot Cake, which we sampled way back in 2024 when we first visited Seligman to see the property Phyllis eventually purchased. It is the best Carrot Cake I've ever had!
While TLE shopped at the Family Dollar I headed over to the Post Office to retrieve our packages from the parcel locker.....
......the new auxiliary turbo coolant pump looks like a perfect match to the now defunct one, so weather and wind permitting I will attempt to do the R & R Saturday, or Sunday.
Didn't really do any work outside, or anywhere on the property before, or after we went to town Friday due to the wind, but now we have the necessary parts to begin to complete several ongoing projects. By the time we finished unloading the car and putting things away it was almost 4 pm, and the end of another day at TWW.
Thanks for stopping by!
