We just rolled into Idaho sand dunes after stops in Marysvale and Mantua Utah.
Idaho Sand Dune RV park is like a bootleg drive in movie theater. No wifi in spite what their website says and our kids sent us on the road after they burned through all 45 gigs of our data. We are on 2g and pic just ain't uploading until tomorrow.
Maynard didn't make it, sadly his depression has defaulted him to rainman status and he's in the good care of our adult children. But that's another thread for some other day. Instead of Judge Wapner it's Cash Cab reruns. Yeah, that condition is real.
Was able to pick up our 2018 X3 RS a few days before our departure. Dave at Sand Tires Unlimited came through with some nice 5 - 5 Methods and paddles. Always monkey business with pricing from FST/STU so write down your quoted OTD price and hold them to it. This is 20 years experience giving that advise, never fails with price shenanigans. But that's another thread for another time.
In Marysvale we stayed at the South 40 RV park. With the exception of flys and a heavy manure smell (a issue with all Marysvale RV parks) as perfect a RV park as you will find. Owner couple have a mean reputation but I didnt find them that way at all.
We skipped staying there with a group last month because one couple in our group likes to stay up until 2 AM blasting music while screaming F bombs 20 ft away from other families kids tents and they don't clean up after their dogs. After 7 days their space and others was a dog shit sandwich everyone's ice chests and chairs covered with infected custard like dog piss.
That is minor to the other crap they do you all would not believe.
They flip the script and blame the park owners claiming they have the problem. This couple has other issues and has perfected crawling inside a bottle of Vodka and ignoring them but that's not for this thread. My point is one couple can spoil everyone's trip because we all had to camp at a difficult to navigate your Toy hauler, older, RV park that is asshole tollarant and they complained about that BTW.
I highly recommend South 40 and the well maintained trails of Marysvale.
Our new $300 GoPro hero broke first trip out so that's a goner we'll shoot some pix and post them when our data resets tomorrow.
