Chinook RV

Why you hustled through NM/AZ on I-40 yesterday (excellent move on your part!)

This is from today, marking ice/snow, crashes, and vehicle slide-offs. That's I-40 running across just above the middle. No thank you!
This is 89a, but you get the general idea. I-17 and I-40 in Arizona today are similar.

Your forecast for returning to Seattle: Rain. Now there's a shocker!

I'm sure he never would have guessed if I hadn't posted the weather forecast

Is anyone else half expecting an update along the lines of, "Oops, I was so in the groove I just kept going and overshot my destination. At North Pole now."

Not the North Pole, but the weather was so nice that driving was enjoyable, and I got home at noon today. No rain!
Took naps at rest stops and kept moving when I would wake up.
This was a great trip weather wise except for that little hiccup in Albuquerque. I enjoyed driving through the states as well.
But I am tired and will recover for a few days until I do some repairs on the rig and go out again.
I will start a new thread about that, but I’ll research the archives here before asking repeat questions.

The Great Mid-Winter Cross-Country Trip has successfully concluded. Yes!

Now on to the new threads (or additions to existing ones). After you've rested up

Before officially closing this topic, one question to Blue,,,


What is that object in your avatar?

Why thank you for asking. That is The Door Stick™

We were having a discussion one time about how to "lock" the magnetic versions of the screen door and as it turns out, I had just had that same need and so had rigged up a door stick out at a boondock. So I mentioned it. Seems hokey, but it works and can be made just about anywhere with just string and a stick. I think it was kdarling (?) who wanted to see a photo and then suggested it should be my avatar. I used to have a photo of my Concourse in the desert during a moonrise (I know, yawn )

I don't know if your screen door will have the magnet system (mine does), but the thread started as a discussion of the magnet system that is on the screen door of some years. The plus is you normally just go in and out without having to operate a latch. On the other hand, when you do want to latch it (more than a magnet)....

There are photos about 2/3 of the way down this page:

Glad you made it!! i dunno about anyone else but I was poking in daily to see where you had made it to for the day.... rest up! I had been wondering what Blue-go's avatar was as well.
