Today was a day of ups and downs, meaning that we went through a lot of mountains and hills, not the least of which was Cabbage Hill as soon as we left Pendleton. Mark was amazed that we climbed it at 40 mph today! Usually, he says, we can only go 30 or 35 mph. He doesn’t know what made the difference today.

I had once visited an Orthodox church in Los Gatos, CA, when we were Workamping there, and was intrigued.

Today, Mark and I decided to look at the closest towns to Price. I wanted to go south to Castle Dale first because that would be the closest quilt shop to me. It’s about a half-hour drive from here.

This morning, there were some highs and lows. Mark was able to fix our plumbing situation, so we have water now. Yay! Then we planned to go out and look around some more, but when Mark turned the key in the car, nothing happened, not even a sound. Mark tested the battery, and it was fine, so he got out and rocked the car, and it started right up.
