Today’s drive
We were up early, I wanted to get to Jacob Lake before it got hot and to get an open campsite. Arrived at 9:30 and got a large pull-though at the end of the Loop, site 12.
Have good open sky for satellite TV, sat radio and sun for solar panel. Also have great internet
There is an antenna here at the Hwy junction going into north Grand Canyon.
We are also at 8000 feet and the weather is perfect, 77 with a few thunder showers while it is over 100 at Lees Ferry, Zion and Monument Valley. We are going to stay here until the 11th when we have reservations for fishing at Cottonwood Campground at Navajo Dam, NM. It will be a 338 mile day to Cottonwood but the weather is much better here. I have been working on staying at 200-250 miles at day even when we traveling.
This map is the temperature map at 7:30 Wednesday evening, says we made the right call on where to stay.
Made the right call on the pickup battery. It was right at 12.5 volts Wednesday and Thursday morning ( writing this on Thursday 9/5). It is still had for me not to try and get the last usable mile out of every part.
