   If you're talking 12, yes.  Neat road.  WE took 12 to UT 24E which is   
   another great road, to UT-95 S down to US 191.  It was a good day at   
   almost 300 miles of unbelievable scenery.

   I noticed today my water tank was full.  I had left it at about 3/4   
   before hooking up to city water, so the damn valve is not working   
   properly for stopping it filling up the tank.  Not a big problem and   
   will get it checked out when I get back.   
      
   Brakes are also a little spongy, with a quick pump getting the pedal up.   
     Don't like having to go thought the mountains like that, but as long   
   as it don't get any worse I should be OK.  Will probably buy a bottle of   
   fluid just in case I have to do an emergency bleed on them.
