Today was an exploration day. We got moving after 10.
We headed to Spiral Jetty. Before turning off toward Golden Spike road, we stopped for lunch.
It was about 11 miles of dirt roads, and Waze had it incorrect, it had a ranch road instead of the intended road to the location, so that will need to be fixed. When we got to the parking location, I can hear air escaping from someplace. Well it turned out to be our friends Jeep tire got a leak. While almost everybody else went exploring the spiral, we worked on the tire. We could not get the three of the lugs to loosen up. So I had a can of fix-a-flat, so when it was time to leave we tried to use it, we got more of the stuff outside the can then what went into the tire.
We started back and the tire looked like we had just aired it down for off-roading. We made it back to Golden Spike parking lot and we need to put more air in. I used our little pump. Then the pump stopped working. It appears the pump died. So now we have a tire not up to the proper pressure.
We drove to the next town and found a place what would patch it and they did it for free. When they took the lugs off, the air gun did not even indicate that it was on very tight.
Back at home, we finally agreed on where to go to dinner. Yummm. And we thanked our friends for treating us.
We chit-chatted outside until late into the night - said our good-byes to several of them.
