Departure Time

All good things eventually come to an end, and today was the last day of Juni and Tom's visit with us at the ranch. Their 42 foot Allegro Bus has been parked by Auntie Violet for the last several days.

The big consultation this morning was how best to back their motorhome up and out onto the lane.

Juni was the back-up director --

Forry was watching from the side to make sure Tom didn't back into the sagebrush --

A nice wide swing around by the grain augers --

Aha, success!

Now, they just need to hook up the toad, and they are off to Spokane!

Can you see why we all like RV parks that have "drive-through" spaces? Most RVers become expert backers pretty quickly (there's occasionally one that proves me way wrong!). It's usually a teamwork job. Each couple usually develops their own method of signaling and communicating. We've seen some use walkie-talkies and others use cell phones. Juni and Tom and Forry and I pretty much use hand signals.
