Cross Country Adventure 2021

We are home and this odyssey is over.  It was a challenging last few days . . .  Las Vegas to Bakersfield, CA It was beautiful drive.  We lived in the Mojave Desert a few years ago and I had forgotten how beautiful the desert can be.  We arrived in Bakersfield early than expected and decided to go to camping world and Costco.  It was an expensive decision... We stopped at camping world to find a sewer pipe cap to replaced one that had cracked.  The cap isn't technically needed but I didn't want to see the inside.  It was an inexpensive cap so $6.59 later we were out the door and on our way to Costco for supplies. I gave Roy wrong directions and we turned into a residential area.  Roy found a small cul-de-sac and managed to turn around.  What we didn't realize until we arrived at Costco we lost our backup camera on the trailer.  Turns out we crimped the cable and we lost trailer running lights and backup camera.  We could drive durin...

It’s been a couple of days since I’ve posted. We left Doreen’s house on October 8th for Las Vegas to visit my sister Ramona. It was a nice drive.  Lake Mead FunPop  The lake is very low. We had a great visit with Ramona, Tom, Austin and Jeremy. Jeremy and Austin cooked us a wonderful German dinner - schnitzel, homemade butter noodles and mushroom gravy. They also made German yeast  dumplings with vanilla sauce for dessert. Very fat and happy campers. Jeremy (Austin's fiancée) Austin and Ramona. Jeremy is a great guy and glad to have him in the family!   Roy with Bella, the queen of the house. Nellis AFB has a beautiful campground. It’s nice and even with cement parking pads. Very good nightly rates too. We departed Las Vegas for Bakersfield,CA. Love to all!

 We had a very nice time having an early birthday celebration for Roy’s 72nd.  Doreen and Grandma  Doreen, Pepper and Grandpa  Grandma and FunPop  Avery, FunPop, Doreen and Jimmy (Buster) Roy trying to eat cake with a Very Attentive set of dogs. We had a great evening! Love to all!

We had a wonderful visit with Roy’s cousin George and Barbara. San Diego is an amazing city. The weather was perfect.  George and Barbara took us to the port to see Aircraft carrier Midway.  Why is this statute in San Diego? Bob Hope memorial. Our travel to Arizona on October 1st was uneventful and smooth. I love the desert. Interstate Highway 8 did not disappoint. Driving through the breadbasket- Imperial Valley- was also impressive. Hope the water holds up. Roy fixing decorative trim on the trailer. We pros now. Grandma resting with the pups. Roy hanging with the pups. Love to all! G.
