Highway 50, NV – Monday September 28, 2015

This morning I got an email from Verizon saying they had made a change to my cell phone plan.  I logged onto Verizon and I have my “Unlimited Data” plan.  This is good however Jean does not have a txt plan and will pay $0.20 per txt, now that’s a deal for Verizon.

Today’s travel plan is to drive halfway across Nevada on Highway 50 and stay in a rest stop out in the middle of no where.   We decided to give a trip to a Verizon Store and see if they can fix Jean’s txt plan.  At the Spark’s store Caesar said oh yes I can fix that with no problem.  Jean watched he face as he was working through all the computer screens to get the txt plan added “BACK” on our plan.  He worked on it for twenty minutes or so, we will see in a couple of days how successful Caesar was.
Rest stop campsite.
At home we don’t have neat clouds so I have to take sunset and cloud pictures when we are traveling.

Ranger Creek, WA – Wednesday September 2, 2015

Inside morning temp was 55 and outside temp 47, rained most of the night, mostly light however it dripped off the trees and made a lot of noise.  We have used more water than normal so we will head home this morning.

When I went outside to start picking up this morning I found we had more water than we had yesterday.  The MH has two 50 gallon water tanks and for some reason the front tank must have had some pressure in it yesterday so the two tanks could not equalize, I can only see the rear tank.   We were down to 1/8 on the propane tank so we headed home.   I need to rebuild the arbor on the front of the house before we head south on September  21st.

Ranger Creek – Tuesday September 01, 2015

Inside morning temp was 55 and batteries died in outside unit

Thank TED Radio Hour on NPR.
One of the dates I have been looking for is when did the government change GPS system so we could actually use it.  Before May 2, 2000 GPS’s had  random calculation which would only give you a location within 3 football fields of your actual location.   This is when turn by turn GPS systems became a reality for all of us.

I listen to TED Radio Hour on NPR where Guy Raz interviews people who have done TED Talks as a follow up to their talk and grouped together under a topic, I.e. “Making Mistakes”.   1984 was when the first TED Talk occurred, I didn’t know they had been around so long.

Ranger Creek – Sunday August 30, 2015

Inside morning temp was 58 and outside temp 50.
Rained heavy all night, large puddle under motorhome this morning.

Tanya and Mike stopped by this afternoon.  They have been camped on the other side of Mt. Rainier at Cougar Rock,  They had significant rain the whole time they were at Cougar Rock, however with tarps and skill they still had a good time.  It was amazing to see them today.  They are both GREAT people.
