Jackson Hole to Pokatello

Day 37
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! This blog entry is now an official substitute for a card.

Day 37

Happy Anniversary, Barbara & Dennis -- 32 fabulous years.

The day starts out again with a small problem. Small problems we can handle. Since Ohio, we have been hearing a little ping coming from near the fan blade area of ChelseaExpress. We thought that maybe a small piece of metal was just rattling. We couldn't see the blade from under the hood because it was in a plastic cover. The noise finally needed to be looked at. So, under the vehicle I went. I found that the bolt holding the AC had come loose and was occasionally hitting the blades. Also, the AC belt was missing. The bolt could have wrecked the fan blade if it slipped any further. I was able to secure the bolt. We can hold off on replacing the AC belt this time of year.

Noise gone, off we go quietly. We stop in Pokatello, ID for the night. Steve & I try to get back to our championship ways with a challenge to Mike & Joe in Boccie. The balls weren't rolling the right way for us. We were defeated by the international champions, Mike Sullivan & Joe Walker. We will get those guys next year.

We wrap up the night with a beverage and Trivial Pursuit. It took 4 hours to get 8 questions right. Our explanation is that it was the Genius Edition.
