Last camping trip with the Jeep
Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2014 11:05 am
We went to our usual spot above Ferron Sunday, the 27th, It was monsoon season and lots of thunder showers. On Tuesday we thought we would go fishing and slid down the dirt access track into a tree, head on. No airbag deployed (not sure we even had them on the 2001 jeep). Judy stressed her sternum against the seat belt -I felt like I pushed the steering wheel into the dash, but didn't. We called State Farm and they hauled the jeep off to Price for estimate of damage (and maybe repair). We called David and he and Laura came down on Thursday to take us back to SLC. They stayed two nights, which was good - Dave hadn't been with us in the camper before, and Laura's Dad had a camper when they were growing up. They got out fishing and we had a great fish dinner. The Jeep has now been totaled by St. Farm, and we'll get a check for about what we could have sold it for on the street. We had been looking for a newer used one for the last month, so now we'll accelerate the search!
Mom's aches are getting better so it doesn't look like a medical issue. We realize we're getting older, but that's not a medical issue either!
