Day 28; May 25 - Big Decision Day

When I got ready to get up, the travel agent "Big Gary" told me he had decided to stay in Cody WY for a few more days.  The weather was not cooperating and he needed to do some mechanical work.  He had failed to tell me that the brakes on the camper had not been working correctly.  MEN!  This is fine with me; I don't think we will find a better campground.  We look out the front door into the mountains and deer graze in the area.  There are several vacant cabins if some of my friends/family would lie to fly up.  We will be here until next Wednesday.


So, what do I need to do?  Miss Prissy was getting pretty grimy.  I got on the internet and found three places that groom dogs.  Called two and they were booked up until June/July.  The third one was the animal hospital.  I thought they should tell me that in person.  So off we went!  They were booked up too; but she bet Miss Julie would work us into her schedule.  She loved poodles.  Found Miss Julie about one block from the clinic.  She was an interesting concert pianist that was from St. Louis, Missouri.  So, I told her I was raised in Paris, Missouri.  (She says "Ooh, yes - MissourAAAAA")  She also showed me pictures of her showing her "pink" standard size poodle at shows and her current CD.  She groomed Prissy in about 1 1/2 hours.  I told her she had never looked like a poodle before so she gave her the "baby" cut.  Can you tell Prissy thought she looked pretty too?  I should have purchased a CD for memories.  Might just have to go back and get one.  I think we are driving to Lovell today to hunt "wild Mustangs".  Doesn't that sound like fun!

Days 93 and 94; July 29 & 30 -- Canada to USA

Whee.....what a long three days.....we put a lot of miles on the vehicles and our bodies.  When I last blogged we were at Dave's RV Park in Vanderhoof, BC.  Gary said that this was one of the best kept campgrounds that we had visited.  The bathrooms were spotless and the grounds and flowers matched.  We aimed to go around 200 miles and stop.....somehow that didn't fall into place.  We stopped for lunch at a rest area.  I took this pictures overlooking the valley below from the camper door.  You can see the screen door marks on the picture.  All along this road, we passed original log houses and out buildings.  It made you feel like you were travelling on the very path that the pioneers had taken.  We finally found a campground in the canyon.  Gary got out to take his movie pictures and asked me where we were and what was the name of the campground.  Neither of us knew.  We did have a good dinner.  He grilled t-bone steaks, we had grilled potatoes, salad, and fried bread.  Yu

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

I noticed that the last post was a Merry Christmas post.  Wellllllllll..... Happy New Year! Yesterday, December 30, we headed to Florida.  One more sticker added to the camper map.  Yippee! I held the camera for five miles with the intention of not missing the change of state sign.  I had it aimed at the side of the road and was viewing every sign along the way......about the time I pushed the button for this picture, the Driver (think next year we will promote him to Travel Planner--you know it is one of those things that employers do to delay a raise in pay) hit a BUMP! The next picture is on the way to our new campground.  It is called Whispering Pines in Silver Springs, Florida.   Gary booked this campground using our Passport America.  We get full hookup sites for $14 per night.  He has done a really good job picking out the sites.  Don't you agree he needs a new title.  Travel Planner he will be!  Diesel is a little high $3.82 to $4.07. Today we drove around O

Day 119; August 24 - Finally!

Here we are.  Friday we signed the papers with the promise of picking up the truck on Monday.  But, life likes to remind us who is boss.  We left this afternoon around 2pm with the 2001 Diesel.  I told Gary on the way to the dealer that it was like taking our German Shepard to the vet with the intention of putting her down, and he would could home with her again.  Too hard to depart.  The Diesel didn't want to say good-bye either! But tonight, after drawing the attention of the New Car Manager (all the sales personnel knew us by name) and General Manager, the truck was finished.  A couple from California stopped by to ask questions and visit about diesels.  I think that did it!......  when the customers thought we were a permanent fixture to the store.  Our truck got finished around 6pm.  The General Manager said if we had to stay longer they would buy us dinner.......The first running boards they tried to install were not right, so we got an upgrade.  They are nice!  The Driver
