Sunday, May 21, 2006: 6:15AM - Cleaning. We have plans to clean MsTioga in preparation for making the rest of the cabover shiny with Vertglas. But first, we have to look at the sun coming up thru the morning clouds.
7:30AM - Breaking Camp. We have decided to leave our Camp and head toward the Town of Price to do some shopping. We are also keeping an eye open for a mechanic to fix MsTioga’s power steering leak that we told you about a few days ago.
9AM - Wal*Mart in Price, Utah. Nobody on The Team had seen a Wal*Mart for weeks and weeks! And this one in Price, Utah is a superstore with a grocery. We are helpless and must shop at this Wal*Mart!
11AM - Out from the desert. We are headed north toward Dinosaur National Monument. As MsTioga climbed into the mountains we found ourselves out of the desert. We are in a nice forest. We passed by small rivers and creeks.
We made a Camp in what we thought was the Ashley National Forest. But when Mr. DeLorme looked around, he found that this Camp is still south of the Forest. If this is private land (it is not posted), we may have to move. But for now, we are loving this place with its lovely forest of Aspen, Juniper and Pine trees. And the sound of nearby Willow Creek is wonderful.
We can hear Willow Creek flowing.
2PM - Vertglas Day #3. We continued to be amazed by Vertglas. Not only does it seem to put a wonderful gloss on MsTioga's fiberglass, it appears to shine her vinyl striping as well. Even MsTioga's rear view mirrors! Is this Vertglas a bit too good to be true?
That's what Mr. Chips, the wisest member of the Team is warning. Mr. Chips says to let MsTioga and George be the guinea pigs in this Vertglas experiment. We will finish putting Vertglas on MsTioga's cabover, and then travel around and see what happens.
In the pics below of MsTioga's cabover, do you see where the Vertglas stopped being applied? A couple of feet from the side is as far as we went today.
Is Vertglas too good to be true?
7PM - View from our supper table. One of the magnificent things about boondocking is the wonderful views that we often see while eating. This evening, looking out MsTioga's window from our supper table, there was one of those views.
The lovely forest with the contrasting colors. The new light green leaves of the Aspen trees against the darker Juniper and Pine. Wow!

TiogaRV Team Mission
To share the vagabonding life with our fellow RVers like yourself. We hope that you will try to boondock and dry camp.
We have found great joy in camping away from the RV Campground. We would like you to try our camping life style yourself.
Sharing with you our Daily Adventure is our way of encouraging you to try to camp as we do.
