Finally back on the road!!

October 4 – The plan was to gas up the truck after loading all our “stuff” and going to

Carole, BIll & Kelly

Carole’s to get our stuff from there (now you could barely move inside) and say good bye to Carole.  We sure had a good time with her and I know she was glad to have us.  It’s always sad when we say good bye – Tucson is pretty far from us and Bill won’t fly!!

It took a while at the RV to get things loaded and put away.  Bill found out the tech stayed late last night to get it ready for us!  They were checking the tires as we arrived.  It is in need of cleaning so once we settle in Albuquerque for a few days I will do my floors and all the counters. 

It was about 12:30 when we left and we stopped in Benson for fuel but we miscalculated and I didn’t take in enough cash so it was only ¾ full.  Later down the road there was a Love’s and it was lunch time for us so we stopped there and totally filled up and I got us lunch at Subway!   Then it was back on the road until we reached Lordsburg, NM.

We stayed in a Veterans County Park dry camping!  Time changed and we lost an hour but that was no big deal, at least our clocks in the RV were all on time again!  I was still putting some things away and Bill turned on the TV and the satellite was making a horrible noise.  I told him to turn it off.  He then mentioned that he thought one of the antennas was broken.  I went out and climbed up on the roof and one of the antennas is broken off AND the cover of the satellite was dented in.  Crap!  I asked Bill to get me a screwdriver and I removed the shroud and the mechanism did not appear to be dented or ca-ca so I did the best I could to push the dents out in the shroud and put it back on.  I told him to turn it on and it whirred around so I got down and we gave it a try and it worked!  Hallelujah! So next I’ll order a new antenna.  Well, I ordered them before and I think it was a pair, but Bill thinks I put them both on before!

So we had some leftovers and a bag of kale salad!  Not sure where our next stop will be.  Bill thinks we can/should drive on in to Albuquerque if our spot is open a day early!
