Slept like a baby

Saying bye to the Wittenberg's less Stella

 It was Thursday June 13th, and I didn't want to get out of bed. It was nice and cool outside, around 63 degrees! I knew the plan was to get going and find a repair place that could take us right away. All of them were booked and couldn't squeeze us in for days. That wasn't going to work since we had places to be, things to do and people to see. Our whole trip was already mapped out and reservations were hard to come by in many places along the way. We said goodbyes to our friends, the Wittenberg's thinking we'll see y'all again, maybe even next summer. As we left Centennial heading north, you could see the smoke had covered the mountains. We had seen this very thing last June when we came through Colorado.

 Not too far up the road, we stopped and saw a mobile RV repairman who was nice enough to donate his time and energy. After about 1 hour of troubleshooting, he concluded that we needed a new control panel where all the wires went in the  A/C unit. Since it wasn't in stock anywhere near us, we loaded back up and headed into Wyoming to the Jolley Roger RV to pick one up. Upon arrival, another repairman that Jason had been speaking to earlier informed us that it most likely was the thermostat. Oh boy how we love chasing our tails! That had to be ordered via UPS from the very place we had just come from that morning.... Denver. 

 

 

Since we would be hanging around for the part, we found a cute little RV park in Cheyenne, WY called AB Camping. It is a family-run, Christian campground and they served dinner until 8 pm. Who could resist some cowboy BBQ from the Wild West? The boys ran around and played in the park almost until dark and then everyone had showers and settled in for a good night's sleep.

Temperatures dipped down to around 50 degrees as we slept that night. The next morning, we weren't in a big hurry to go anywhere since the thermostat wasn't due in until around 1 pm via UPS. Jason caught up on some laundry and then we found a skate park in town to burn some more time. It was the nicest one I have ever seen and in a public park of all places.      

Finally, the news we had been waiting for... our thermostat  had arrived! We hurried back to Jolley Roger RV and picked it up. They were even nice enough to warranty the old one for us. Jason switched it over and then we were off to Casper for some BMX racing.
