Hi there everyone,
Well, Thursday for us was a busy day. We traveled through four states in 12 hours. I was what we would call in my old ‘Drum Corps Days’ a real, “Iron Bottom Special”! We started out at camp in Glendale Utah back tracking a bit north towards Panguitch and then west to Interstate 15 so that we could travel south from Utah into Arizona for 27 miles, then for about 120 miles of Nevada including Las Vegas where we got Fuel and both rigs washed. Then we continued on into California where we finally ended up spending Thursday night in Calico/Yermo California at a KOA.
It was a day of errors a bit. We were trying to find a RV wash off the highway, we got lost, but then we found this road with a sign that said 'Truck Route'. So, we took that, went past the Mission Tortilla plant and ended up in a culdisac. So, once again, we had to un-hook the CRV so that we could turn the Moho around. The truck and RV wash that we went too, caused us to burn a bit more time than we had originally planned, but the end result was a very spiffy looking motor home. While I was fueling the motor home, Carol then got the CRV washed up. Then, after both rigs were washed, Carol realized “uhh, our stop on Friday was going to include a ghost town and the Borox 20 mule team museums”, so they might get dirty again. Oh well. :-) Then, we figured we would spend the night, boon docking at a Wal-Mart in Barstow, but it turned out they don’t allow boon-dockers, so we had to back track 7 miles to Calico to stay at the KOA.
Before we got to Las Vegas, we thought we would stop at a Cracker Barrel restaurant, something we had never done before. We’ve heard these are very RV friendly places and since we don’t have any in California, we thought we would give it a try. Well, though the parking lot was big, the RV sights weren’t big enough for our 40 foot class A, not to mention having the CRV attached, so we had to disconnect so that we could navigate the Moho around in the parking lot and figure out a place to park. We then went in and had some yummy cobbler!
The motor home and its crew of Roxy, Lilly, Rosie, Carol and myself are doing great and we are having a great time. The three dogs have just been wonderful on this trip. They have been so patient when we are on the road or out on some adventure. As long as I keep an eye on the gauges on the motor home, there isn’t a hill this rig can’t climb. :-)
I’m not quite sure what is on the agenda for today, but we’ll make the most of it, whatever it is. Happy camping! – Eric and Carol -
