Since we have no way to tow Toad II, I followed Auntie Violet. I really like driving the new rig. Maybe because I have had a chance to drive it so much lately...?
After I opened the gate for Forry, I parked across the road to watch him come through --
I shut the gate behind him, then watched him head up the hill, out of the coulee --
We stopped on the way and got some VERY expensive diesel -- $4.32 per gallon! And that's with the Flying J discount! We've seen it for around $4.16 in Spokane. Looks like we should have waited!
We came on out to the new Camping World in Liberty Lake. We had made arrangements with Larry, the service manager, to park overnight in their lot so that they can get started on the rig when they open at 8 AM. They are also going to install the Air Force brake system we got a couple of years ago at the Gypsy Rally. This is a new store with a new crew, so we'll see how it goes... We do have a 50 amp hook-up, so should be able to spend a comfortable night.
Since we will most likely be heading south once we are finished here (though we'll go back to the ranch to load up), we thought we'd take Son Sean out to dinner one more time before we left. He wanted Mexican food, so we went out to Casa de Oro, one of his favorites.
Now we're back at the Camping World parking lot, watching the first go-around of the National Finals Bull Riding from Las Vegas.
I really enjoy following behind the 5th wheel when we're traveling. It's about the only time I get to drive! I keep an eye on the rig (take a few pictures), and listen to my music to my heart's content. We keep in touch with walkie talkies and I give directions to Keith so he knows where he's going. Happy travels south!
