My Life and Travels
We have stayed at this Rest Stop several times going both north and south.
California is having another terrible time with fires.
This is the 4:00 pm sun though the smoke from the LA fires. As the sun got lower it got redder.
Our original plan was for a long day’s drive (478) north to Corning, CA and then to Medford, OR. With the fire east of Chico burning the whole town of Paradise 7000 homes we will drive to Weed tomorrow 600 miles. The goal is to be on the road by 5:30 a.m.
Back to Quartzsite for a couple of nights.
The triangle is where we are today the dot just below it is where we were the first of the week.
I want to wash and wax the drive’s side of the coach before we head north. Where the coach sits in the backyard it is difficult to wax this side.
81 today low 56.
I spent some time working on a couple of pictures from the Fiesta. When we are traveling data usage is always a challenge and today is the first day of our cellphone billing cycle.
Here are a few pictures from two of the evening glows.
Drove from Quartzsite to Phoenix area today, 170 miles. Here so we can go to dinner with the Gails tomorrow.
In site 84 for two nights.
Back to Quartzsite for a few days, highs 80-83 lows 56-60.
Campsite pictures:
We like it here this time of year. In December and January people will be parked all over this area with only a couple of feet between coaches. There will be a lot of generators running, we enjoy the quiet.
Another museum in old town Prescott, the Scarlot Hall Museum.
Wolves
Whittling, each one is made of one piece of wood.
I had never seen this way of crushing rock for gold mining.
We enjoy museums and you can never tell what you will find.
These were in the route 66 museum in old town Kingman.
Willie and Waylon
Drove up to Oatman, AZ to say we have been there. Oatman is an old mining town who’s current claim to fame is the burros which come into town everyday so the tourists can feed them.
Today was moving day after 2 weeks at a really quiet National Park.
We are 160 miles north with a new area to explore.
Gravel parking lot next to an established RV community.
We are in site 62.
Worked on leaking heater hose this morning.
I taped a line to my $29.17 NAPA 5/16th wrench in case I dropped it while tightening the hose clamp. Without this line the wrench would have fallen into the engine several times.
Tightened the clamp nut about 30 degrees of a full turn. Run the engine up to full temperature and no leak. After the engine cools down I will see if I can get a little more of turn on the nut, after I get the wrench on the nut i have just my finger tips as turning leverage.
