The tough week: Salt Lake City
Wednesday June 30, on the road to Salt Lake City
The departure of the Big Horn Shuttle is at 7:30 in the center of Moab.
Around 7:00, we leave the Super 8 on our bikes, our small backpacks bursting at the seams and some plastic bags hanging from the handlebars.
Camping World RV Rental does not want to retrieve the bikes. We have therefore agreed with Karen to donate to the Church Association.
During the voyage, we draw from memory the complete inventory of what we lost in the fire. The list is impressive and the estimated replacement value gives us a bit dizzy ...
Arrived in Salt Lake City, we go directly to the Honorary Consul. A little later, she drops us off at the Metropolitan Hotel, cheap little motel with very friendly welcome, a few hundred meters from the center of Salt Lake City.
We received an e-mail the manufacturer of the motorhome: it is an urgent recall due to fire hazard ... Obviously, when we talk about that with our interlocutor at Camping World International, he says that it has nothing to do with what happened to us, but hey, at least it proves that there are doubts about the manufacturing quality of the vehicle ...
Thursday July 1st, Salt Lake City
We spend much of the day to buy some clothes, shoes and travel bags. Camping World RV Rental has promised his help to rent a car, while refusing to take the rental charge. Unfortunately, they tell us that it is very complicated because we have a copy of driver's license. They can offer us a little Mazda 3.
We will finally walk to the nearest Avis office where we have no difficulty in accepting the copy of my driver's license for a rental of a SUV.
Friday July 2, free again!
We have identified on Internet a large outlet where we buy a camping tent, sleeping bags, mattresses and other essential accessories. Then we drive north towards Yellowstone Park. We chose the most direct route through Idaho, and do step in the evening in Pocatello.
What a happiness to be on the road again!
