Almost Ready

Only four days to go and we will be heading for Laughlin, Nevada. We would have loved to leave earlier because it is going to be hot, VERY HOT (triple digits) the next few days. However, we aren't quite ready!! And, Ken really only wants to travel on a Sunday....since we missed this last Sunday, we have to shoot for this next Sunday the 10th.

The bench in our storage shed still isn't done, so it looks like that will have to wait until next season. We will be putting our Wrangler in the shed this summer, which is more secure than it was last summer. There is sooooo much on the Wrangler that can be stolen, and we were very uncomfortable leaving it out in the open last year. At least this year, we can breathe a lot easier.

Finishing up on the addition to the rock shop has been a big job for Ken, but he is almost done...just a couple more things to do, and he will be able to lock it up for the summer.

The stuff around the coach is mostly put away, but still have the outside lights to take down.They are the easiest of things to take down and put away, so that all can be done in a couple hours.

Our mail from home arrived today, but that was after the office was closed, so can't get it until tomorrow. The office here is now on "summer" hours and is only open a few hours a day and not at all on the weekend. Our park is several miles off the main highway and there aren't that many "unreserved" travelers showing up for a night, so the managers feel the office really doesn't need to be open for long. It really is like a ghost town around here right now. Because of the heat, we only see a few people wandering around; usually early in the morning or late in the evening and never during the middle of the day. Yes, the manager does see the unexpected arrival of travelers who suddenly drop in for a night or two. Of course, the phone in the office and the manager's residence is still operating, so the people who have reservations are always being taken care of.

We still have to check the hookup for the Jeep (Grand Cherokee) and make sure the turn signals, and brake lights work, but that can't be done until we pull out of the site and hook things up to the coach. We always hold our breath until things are all hooked up and working.

SO, we are on the count down for leaving our winter home!! Our schedule is to be in Laughlin three nights (10th, 11th, and 12th), then we will be in Ely, Nevada on the 13th, and 14th. On May 15, we will be parking at the KOA in Twin Falls, Idaho for 6 nights. While in Twin Falls, we will be attending our twin grandsons (Edward & James) graduation from high school, and their very special award of the Eagle Badge from the Boy Scouts. We are VERY proud of them!!
