Salt Lake City and Moab

We spent our day in S.L.C. shopping .

Checked out Costco and Karen found an amethyst ring similar to the one stolen in the break-in last August so she was happy.

Bought a few things for the trailer at Home Depot and Walmart then came back to the campground.

For dinner we ordered take out Mexican food from a little place next door.

It was very good and authentic.

Friday morning we left for the 200 mile drive to Moab.

The first 50 miles was on the 6 lane freeway that runs through the city.

Not a fun drive in all the traffic but we finally turned off and headed east towards Price and on to Moab.

Mickey got a whipped cream Puppaccino from Starbucks

The weather was sunny and it got warmer as we got closer,  reaching 17 by the time we arrived at about 3 pm.

It felt good after the last few cold days.

After we got set up we sat in the sun and read the paper and caught up with news on the Internet.

The RV park is full, lots of people with ATV’S,  there is a Rally on the Rocks with thousands of participants happening this week so Moab is really busy.

After dinner Karen checked her blood sugar and found she was very low, lower than she has ever been, so she had several juice boxes and chocolate bars and went up a bit but then started going lower again.

She only wanted to go to sleep but I couldn’t let her and we decided she had better go to the hospital so at about 9pm I bundled her and Mickey into the truck and we followed the GPS to the Moab hospital 3 miles up the road.

Luckily the Emergency Dept. was deserted , we were the only ones there.

After being admitted and having 4 pages of forms to fill out the nurse took her blood sugar and found she was returning to normal.

We had to wait and see the doctor, a woman whose parents live in Qualicum and who went to medical school in Victoria.

They were all very nice and let us leave without any charges after signing a release.

We got back to the trailer about 10:30 and had to stay up awhile to make sure Karen was stable then went to bed.

Not the best way to end the day ,she was feeling pretty rough but at least she was okay.
