12*C @ 7am WINDY;
It
blew all night and this morning, it’s cloudy and we have a few drops of rain on
the windows; definitely time to leave this place! Our day consisted mainly of doing laundry,
washing last side of the rig, putting everything away and loading the bikes and
kayaks. Dave and Louise left around 11
am, headed for Indio. We took Tucker to
the Vet to have his neck checked as we suspect a tick but it turned out to be a
mole so we don’t have to worry about that anymore. We stopped at VON’s for a few items then to
the storage to finalize our bill. When
we got home, we had lunch then Val went to do the laundry while I washed the
last side and the rear of the Beaver. As
I was loading the bikes on the Jeep, I notice the rear tire was low in air so I
drove the Jeep to town and found out I had a screw in the tire. Bloody Hell!
Anyway, it’s fixed now! I came
home and put the carpets away and the chairs; now it’s time to relax! Still very strong winds blowing out there at
10 pm. Heard from Gaetan and he made it
home safe and sound!
10*C @ 7 am, WINDY still; 18*C, clouds/sun
Yes,
the wind is still blowing as strong and there is fresh snow on top of the
mountain (9000’), time to get out of here! I had to put the heat on this
morning!!!
We
left by 10:30 am heading south-east on Dillon then East on I-10. The ride was monotonous as we have been on this
section many times and there ain’t much to see.
We stopped in Ehrenberg where I took on fuel @$3.71/gallon with my
Flying J card and had lunch at WENDY’s then back on the road. As we got nearer Phoenix, the sky became
darker and eventually we hit rain on the East side; nothing heavy but enough to
wet everything. We finally arrived at
Val Vista Resort after “Ms Daisy”(read GPS)
took me on University Drive, read BIG
MISTAKE! Anyway we made it and parked
right across from our friends Glenda and Terry.
After setting up, we went over and began HH then Glenda cooked us a marvelous
dinner of tenderloin pork. Two other
couples were present and shared the dinner.
We had a great time as usual and finally called it quit around 9:30 pm. We came home and soon were in bed.
