Oh my, what a day!  Lots of last minute stuff to do before I go to Hamilton for the closing, a few more things to load in the trailer.  Jared stops by to say goodbye and we go over logistics for the cows until the closing on the two south parcels.  Gonna be late getting to the title company.  Thinking to myself every five minutes, “this is the last time I will see this”, “this is the last time I will do this”.  Forced now to put the period on this chapter and it is very hard, even though I am anxious to get started on the next one.  Takes an hour at the title company as a couple of the closing numbers have to be corrected.  Not providing a $4500 credit AND a $4500 price reduction.  No worries, they can fix it without me.  TPMS is working good on the truck, but I turned off the trailer and can’t remember how to turn it back on.  Tried a couple of things and now I don’t see either one…..  Take a break at the rest area at the top of Lost Trail Pass and called TechPro.  A very nice gentleman walked me through getting everything back on line.  Thank goodness, I didn’t have to re-program everything, where the heck did I put the bloody instruction manual with all my notes!?!?

I feel better knowing exactly what is going on with the tires so I’m gradually getting more comfortable pulling the trailer down the road.  Just “keep my mind in the middle” and it’ll be fine.  Somewhere between Challis, ID and Mackay, ID ~ not a lot of traffic, but I’m going slower than most going up the hills.  Ram truck passes me and about a mile down the road I see him parked half-on, half-off the shoulder and go WTH!!  I signaled, moved over and then saw what he had seen, about 30 elk running flat out on a trajectory to cross the highway.  I looked over and about that time the lead cow looked over and saw me and changed her mind.  He had stopped to watch, I turned the herd!

Got parked in my space at the RV park, did not unhook as I’m only staying one night, but just took the weight off the truck.  Note to self ~ next time after you get everything plugged in, turn the 30 amp outlet ON.  Thank you Jayco for making the refrigerator light blink if it can’t find electricity or propane.  ^_^
