arrived safe and sound – and that’s a very good thing! bobbie is with me, so i had some relief with the driving. we ended up staying in rest area’s instead of rv parks – saved some $$. ^_^ it was very hot the first day & a half. then, the clouds rolled in and it rained (in the distance). we encountered only enough to make the rig look filthy again. dang. it has stayed relatively cool since, which is a very good thing for sophie.
we got here a little later than planned due to a slight malfunction in the rig. no, not the engine – the bathroom door! we couldn’t open it. fortunately we were both on the outside! i had to remove the whole doorknob assembly- which meant one half was locked inside – and eventually got it to open. discovered the teflon ‘tube’ that covers the ‘plunger’ (the part that goes into the hole) had broken and a piece had gotten lodged in the hole! got it all back together, but given it had happened just as we were about to leave – caused a slight delay! then, we lost an hour when we crossed into n.m. turns out ariz doesn’t do dst, so we hadn’t lost the hour when we crossed that line and i had forgotten! grrr soooo, we got here after 1:00 instead of noon. and then found out we really could have started at 10:00 – despite the information i had been given. dang! it was ok, just meant we finished later!
as for the “rv park” – hah! rv parking lot! full hookups and blacktop. fortunately the only rv’s here are the 4 of us in the show. it’s the state fairgrounds. flashing marquee(sp???) advertising flea market every weekend, so don’t know what to expect tomorrow morning!! there is another large parking area – separated from this one by chainlink fence – with ‘electric islands’, so i’m sure the vendors will be setup over there. however, i am parked/hookups are, at that fence! hmmmm
as for the show – day one was pretty good. altho i am hoping it wasn’t ‘the best day’. ^_^
it is still very cloudy and there’s a good wind just now. and, speaking of now – time to move on here!
