Bear Lake Boat Ride

On Tuesday Curtis invited us for a boat ride on Bear Lake with his wife Rebecca and their 4 children. They have a ski boat that comfortably held all of us. Curtis and Rebecca each skied for a few minutes. They both wore full wetsuits which tells you how warm Bear Lake gets. The water near the surface was actually not too cold. We were out on the lake for about 2 hours and had a great time. Thanks for the boat ride Curtis and Rebecca!

New Casita A/C

The air conditioner on our Casita died. The compressor would try starting but would cut out after a couple of seconds. Today we took the Casita to a Camping World in Kaysville, UT, north of Salt Lake City and about 100 miles from here. They installed a new A/C on the Casita in a little over an hour. We now have cold air again - yeah! It's like electricity - you don't really miss it until you have to do without it.

Facebook

We're now on Facebook as Ross Goldman. Take a look and become our friend! Because of Facebook we won't be tweeting on Twitter anymore. It's too time consuming and, really, who cares what we're doing in real time? We'll continue updating this blog.

Harold Goldman 1929-2009 RIP

Very sad news to report. Ross's father, Harold Goldman, passed away on Thursday, July 2 after a brief illness. We traveled to Detroit from Utah and were lucky enough to be able to spend a couple of days seeing him in the hospital before he died. We've stayed on to help out Ross's mother and are planning on heading back to Utah on Thursday.





Dad was very proud of being a US Marine so we were very happy that a Marine Corp Honor Guard was at his funeral.
