Two-Thirds of Millennials Don't Know What Auschwitz Was.
One-Third of Millennials are not sure Earth is round.
Conclusion: Our education system is not doing any educating.
Tuesday, April 24 - Two Jeeps went back to do the Courthouse, Monitor, Merrimack "rocks" and Determination Towers at a slow pace. On the way back we went to Tusher Tunnel. It's like a slot canyon but completely closed at the top. They call it an underground arch. It goes about 60 yards and opens on a canyon.
There were 21 rigs here Sunday, but today only six remain and they are all at a distance from us.
Wednesday, April 25 - Chores, lunch in town and shopping. Keith helped me replace the fuel filter on the generator. No, Kieth did it. Perhaps this will cure the intermittent problem we have had with it the last year. What a pain it was to get the new filter threaded. Poor design by Onan. It did not cure the problem.
Thursday, April 26 - We did a new trail called Jackson Hole which can only be reached via Hurrah Pass. It was not very scenic, but we found that bikers carry their bikes up a tall near vertical cliff and ride out over Cliff Hanger Trail. See the pipeline running up the hill? See the 'X' at the top. That's the top Jacob's Ladder the way bikers carry their bikes. And runners too! A 25k run this weekend features descending and then ascending Jacob's Ladder. We could not see a defined trail, only markers indicating where the runners should go.
Friday, April 27 - Keith and Sandy left this morning. An illness in the family and they felt they needed to be there. They plan on driving the 1,100 miles in two days. I about fainted at the thought. We are going to miss them, having spent six weeks together.
We went back into town to pick up a long-awaited part. It's a hot one today. We have no interest in installing the part or doing more than sitting under a fan.
Saturday, April 28 - Months before we left, I had no idea where we would go after Moab. Still, don't. We have both been thinking about returning to Alabama. Yesterday we talked about it and decided to head east in a few days. It will be our shortest trip ever - just over two months. Colorado and Wyoming would not be acceptable to us weather wise until late June. So we will just head home and endure the humid South. I can work on the toad braking and the generator in the early mornings before it gets too hot.
We went to a car show in town yesterday. Always enjoyable. It wore Dorothy out. Two hours of walking and standing. I always see lots of big block Chevrolet 396's, but never a 409/427. Wonder why?
Her quesadilla lunch did not agree with her. I had the same thing with no ill effects.
Sunday, April 29 - We lazed.
Monday, April 30 - 13 days of laundry were done. Picked up a few groceries and dumped. Cooler and windy. My allergies have never been worse than today.

Believe It Or Not - See the propane pipeline running up the hill? See the 'X' at the top. That's the top Jacob's Ladder the way bikers carry up their bikes. And runners too! A 25k run this weekend will feature descending and then ascending Jacob's Ladder. We could not see a defined trail, only markers indicating where the runners should go.
I keep a monthly log of our camping fees. In March, we averaged $5.57 a night. In April, we averaged $0.75 per day. The average for our trip is $3.15. I love boondock camping.
I always wanted something, anything, with a supercharger
One of three Cobras at the show. The first I have seen buffed.
This JK was getting a lot of attention. It was built for the 2017 SEMA. I want it.
