Day 62; June 28 - Refrigerator Replacement

Our day turned out totally different than we had planned.  Driver wanted to go sight seeing so off we headed into the mountains.
 We drove up on top of a mountain, if you look closely above the tree line that is the city of
Anchorage.
 Little better view as we were driving down.
 Driver was out watching and recording the seaplanes coming and going.  GrMa was sitting in the truck reading.  Love to read!  I'm reading Sense and Sensibility now.  Maybe that should be the names of the driver and boss?  Trying to improve my mind!  Ha!
 This lake had seaplanes parked all around the perimeter.  It was interesting.  We met a local girl (maybe there should be a question on which local or loco) at the laundry mat.  She was explaining how the land Alaskans didn't want the capitol of Alaska moved to land.  This way all the politicians had to fly to work in Juneau and if a plane went down---just one less politician.
Just as the driver was taking off from the seaplanes, his phone rang.  It was Tim from the repair shop.  He could not guarantee when his shop could install the refrigerator; but he knew of this other shop that had one in stock and we could check with her.  So, off we went.  The lady was real nice and said they would start on it in the afternoon as soon as the technician had his lunch.  So back to the camper, packed up real fast....and headed over there.  At 5:30pm we pulled out of their drive with a new refrigerator.

After cleaning out the coolers and looking at all that food, I decided we needed a treat and we had dinner at Kentucky Fried Chicken.  We came home and sit.   One project down and one to go on Thursday.

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
