Monday we got to go on a road trip. The Saturn (our tow car) has not been happy with the hot weather. It was getting hot and after the radiator fan came on it would spit out coolant as it was cooling down. It would stay at it’s normal operating temp as long as we were moving at 30 miles per hour. I called a shop in St. George I found on AAA and we towed the Saturn into St. George. They did an excellent job, pressure checked the block and ultimately decided what the car needed was a new radiator cap, all for $50.00.
This morning I got up at 6:00 a.m. and drove to the East side of the park for a hike.
These are pictures from my InReach GPS tracker.
This was my turn around point, the end of Jolley Gulch. I think I was about 3.5 miles and I had to go back the way I came. A lot of the trail was loose sand and when I get tired it really sucks the energy out of my legs. It was a good think I turned around here, I was tired when I got back to the car.
The trail was one of the original roads into this area.
It is really nice up here.
