Linda and I have made it almost half way to South Dakota without a single mechanical incident!! and still have the same tires on the trailer we started out with. The modification we did on our trailer has really worked out well...and did an awful lot to smooth out the ride of the trailer.
Sunday morning, we pulled out of El Cajon around 5:30am. We had a good trip through the desert..clear skies and temps that didn't go past the upper 80's. After we checked in to the Family Camp at Nellis Air Force Base in North Las Vegas, we spend a couple hours sanitizing and flushing our Fresh water tank. Now we can drink the water from our faucet...the water in the tank is no longer "green" from algae.
Back on the road this morning, we ran north out of Nevada into the northwest corner of Arizona and into Utah. Linda's favorite show is "The Bachelorette" and it was on ABC this evening. My job was to make sure she was able to watch it. We stopped at an RV Park in Cedar City UT with thoughts of spending the night...they had "cable", but even with our "Good Sam Club" discoung, they wanted $36.00 for the night. We made a hasty retreat and got back on the road. Fifty miles or so...and over a few mountains, we pulled in to a Flying J truck stop in "Beaver, Utah" around 5:00pm. On with the inverter and TV, up with the antenna, and we found 27 digital TV stations. ABC was one of them..I successfully completed my task and made Linda very happy. We were able to sit outside before the Bachelorette came on and enjoy the view of the mountains. We're at about 5,500' in elevation here. Before it got dark, it was pretty warm, but after the sun went down, it cooled off pretty quickly.
In he morning we'll run a few blocks down the road to the "American Dairy Farmers" cheese outlet and take a tour. We're looking forward to free samples. Who knows, we may have to grab a thing or two to munch on.
Don't know how far we'll go tomorrow, but we'll end up somewhere in Wyoming. We decided that even though getting to South Dakota and getting into the VA system is a priority, we're going to take our time and enjoy the trip.
Until next time...73,
We’re Linda, and Steve Weed..welcome to our blog. We hope you enjoy joining us in our travels with our Two Dogs, Heidi, our Long Haired Black German Shepherd, Lit'l Bit, our American Staffordshire Terrier (Pit Bull) Puppy and our cat, Sam. A little about us..in November of 2009, we moved out of our house in San Diego and hit the road to travel the US in our RV “Full Time”. Our home on wheels...a 40 foot long 2004 Cardinal Fifth Wheel Trailer.
