Daniel has been working with a patient (for free, of course!) on improving health through whole food, plant-based eating. It has been very rewarding for him to help someone improve their health.

We drove into Salt Lake City to return the U-Haul and get a loaner Tesla. Daniel is having a lot of fun with the loaner because it’s a Model S Plaid – it’s very fast.

There is a fast moving river right next to our campground which we have enjoyed.

We relaxed at the camper most of the day. Our power was flickering but Daniel found that our surge protector was faulty because it had gotten wet. So some relaxing, laundry, chili, and whole wheat bread took up most of the day. We did really relish sharing the shade and a drink with our neighbors, Max and Nancy. We talked about many topics and really enjoyed their company.

We had leisurely coffee time this morning listening to the birds (there is a robin nest nearby) and looking at the hills and river.

Daniel picked up our car today. The repair involved changing out the 12 volt battery. Daniel put in a new 12 volt battery last October so we think this failure is related to the high-voltage battery failing two weeks ago.

We ended the evening by binge watching the rest of Bridgerton season 3 – definitely the best season yet. We can’t wait for season 4!

It was a little cooler today so we took the boys for a walk on the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail. It was a pretty walk next to Echo Reservoir. Next we drove around and found the town of Echo and an old site of the Pony Express.

We started our morning with coffee time outside and had a beautiful view of the mountains.

After doing some laundry, the boys took Daniel and I for a Father’s Day walk. We found a new luxury golf course/residential area being developed. Supposedly, one of the putting greens will go over the side of a cliff. There are some other residents in the development which we conversed with but we just got one syllable responses, mostly “moo”.

Peter had a vet appointment today for his annual vaccinations. He was afraid of the vet but the vet tech was super helpful. Marcel growled at everyone so he had to stay in the corner. He’s very protective of Peter and we refer to him as Peter’s guard dog.

Next, we drove around Salt Lake City and went to see the Great Salt Lake. Unfortunately, we didn’t find a place to stop and enjoy the lake for free. There was a state park but you had to pay an entrance fee to the park.

Two vegans and two vegan dogs traveling the country in a camper pulled by a Tesla. We love being frugal, cooking from scratch, exploring, hiking, and meeting fellow vegans.
