From Matterhorn, we headed south to Cortez and then across into Utah, very sad to say goodbye to Colorado!

| Wow! You can never tell the size of those when they're actually on the windmill! Had a trio of these trucks on the road with us into Utah. |

Passed through Moab once again, stopped at the Moab Brewery but alas the triple-nickle wings deal wasn't going! Headed west across Utah on the 70 which was more scenic than we expected! But also a lot more climbing than we expected. Nearly ran out of fuel on the 110-mile stretch between Green River and Salina. But made it to our very FIRST Walmart stay in Richfield, UT. We checked with the store and parked with our door towards the store entrance, as recommended by all those who do this regularly. Unfortunately, no one warned us to guard our truck like a hawk. For our first time on the road, we were victims of a crime! Someone stole our ancient, beat-up old barbeque (practically a family heirloom!) - it was pretty clear they stole it just for the value of the aluminum, and it was also clear they had intented to steal more but were interrupted. I think we got lucky, really. Anyway, Walmart won't do anything without a police report, not even review their film since we were parked right under a camera, so....not going to bother the police who have better things to do, surely. Gary is in mourning for the barbeque though...irreplaceable.
