 The
Phoenix One has been stationary this
week, basking in the moist breezes and occasional thunderstorms characteristic
of St. Charles, Missouri, in late summer. We've been doing what fishermen
call "mending nets," which means the Phoenix now has a roadworthy
spare tire and a head door that stays closed. In another couple of days,
she'll also boast a watertight windshield, and a refigerator that stays
cold. We'll be hitting the road again on Thursday.
In the meantime,
we've been bringing you some great stories that flew by us back in Idaho,
Nevada and Utah. We took you to the Nez
Perce National Historical Park in Spalding, Idaho, and visited
Steven Shephard, owner of Salmon River
Outfitters in McCall. We rode on Engine 40,
a steam locomotive in Ely, Nevada, and then headed for Las Vegas,
where we stayed in the lap of RV luxury, Boomtown RV Resort. We also saw
a sign that left us mystified near Park
City, Utah.
Next week
we'll be bringing you great stories from Utah, Kansas, and Washington
before we begin exploring St. Louis and environs.
