Day 59; June 25 - Hanging Around Glennallen

Saw on the sign that I have not been spelling this correctly.  As you probably have seen, I don't (sometimes it is the computer's fault) spell a lot of things correctly.  Computer is like the driver, it thinks it knows what I want to say?
 As we were going to the laundry mat, we passed this motor home with this custom paint job.  Driver didn't understand why I wanted a picture.  It was great!  The laundry mat was not.  It was dirty.  They wanted $3.50 to run a washing machine.  A local lady started telling me how this machine and that machine didn't work.  I started putting my money in and it was just like the slots, I was getting no where--I packed up our stuff and decided I could wait another day to do laundry.  We are headed down to Anchorage today.  Books tell us it is just like a normal mid-western town.  I can hardly wait!
 Because we are trying to eat up what we had in the refrigerator, we had soupy ice cream for breakfast.  We have had my favorite activity the last two nights.  Wiener roast by the fire with the mosquitoes.  Smores!  Yummy!  Can anyone tell me how to keep my marshmallows from getting sticky in the bag?
 This is our own little piece of the forest outside our door.  It was one of the prettiest parks we have been in for a long, long, long time.  There were animal droppings (piles) in the middle.  I started to take pictures for the grand kids to tell me what had left them.  I mailed each family a book titled "Who Pooped in the Park" from Mt. Rushmore or Yellowstone.  One day runs into another!
This is the driver.  He still has his work clothes on just in case something else breaks down.  I'll be glad to have a working refrigerator again.  Hopefully Anchorage can fix us up and we can start running again.  Also, last night it rained a little and I stayed dry!  Yeah!

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

Day 105; August 10 -- Woman's Work?

Image
Today the driver got up and took the truck for its 9:00am appointment.  They flushed and cleaned and changed the oil and then claimed they could not find any problems.  They suggested that we drive it and see if the cleaning and collapsed air filter correct the problem. I did the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, cleaned out a couple of drawers, and tried to straighten the closet.  It seems to have more "stuff" than it did when we started? Is it a sign that we are ready to head home?  We get excited when we see signs with our family member's name on it? This is the Green Acres RV Park in Redding, CA.  It is what I was expecting California to be like.  It is a "picky" park that is manicured daily with two gentlemen that remind me of Uncle Ray.  (Maybe that it how I imagine California?) You can stay in the park monthly for only $3$0+.  I do think you have to pay for your own electricity. Last night the driver wanted to go for a drive, I wanted to

December 31 2013 -- Happy New Years!

Image
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
