Post Falls, ID – Wednesday May 11, 2022

Leaving today for our Spring trip to Montana. Spending the night at Cabela’s in Post Falls,ID. It is really a handy spot except for satellite TV does not want to work here. Had to turn the system on and off three times before the receiver could find a satellite. I have the same problem at the big house. Sometimes I have to hook up the pickup in front of the post office and I have never been able to find a satellite there.

Drove 312 miles today, will add maps we have a better cell connection

Trip north 2025

Couple of weeks ago I could not log onto the website from my PC. I could still create posts from my phone and Ipad but not my PC. Also the auto notifications quit go out. This evening (4/26/2022) I got help from my ISP and got the website working again, I think.

Boron, CA – Sunday April 10, 2022

We left Quartzsite a day early because a weather front is moving in Monday and Tuesday, 40 mph winds with gusts to 50.

Tehachapi is going to get COLD Monday night. At this point we will be long gone. Once we get off the high desert the weather improves.

Today’s drive

We got a spot by an island so we can have the bed slide out tonight.

Monday we will get to Corning, CA and then through the mountains on Tuesday before the snow. What a trip.

Quartzsite, AZ – Friday April 8, 2022

Moving 2.5 miles to Hi Jolly BLM camping area. The winter season is long passed and only a 16 people here, during mid January there will be 100’s here. It is also going to be 98° both today and tomorrow. We will be heading west and north on Monday. I wanted to drive north through Nevada and Idaho but the weather is still cold up there and we could run into snow.
