October 14, 2012

Last night I asked Bill what time he wanted to leave this morning.  Since he’s the chief driver he is usually in charge of our departure times.  He said he wanted to leave at five.  In “Bill-speak” that could mean five 'til eight or five after six, etc. etc. etc.  You get the picture?

He said we left at 7:20.  I couldn’t attest to that because I was still asleep.  The sound of that big diesel engine underneath the bed is soothing.

Once again, I-40 lead us through desolate country.  We stopped at a Rest Area to eat breakfast.  Shortly before we got there we encountered strong winds.  And, of course, it was a headwind for us.  What else is new?

Bill thinks he might start a new RV business.  If an RVer traveling north will call us, we will travel south.  Since we almost always have a headwind, the other RV would have a tailwind.

At Needles, we crossed the Colorado River into Arizona.  (Honk, honk!  Yahoo!)  It has been several weeks since we have had an occasion to do our state line thing.  We thought we had changed time zones, but remembered that Arizona doesn’t change to Daylight Savings Time.

After parking at Walmart in Kingman, we went to lunch at In-N-Out.  It may be our last chance for quite awhile.  When we got there, however, we discovered that the two tour buses parked on the street had overfilled the place.  All seats were taken and the line to order snaked around all the aisles.  

So guess what...we went back for supper!
