What A Difference a Week Makes

Quartzsite has just about cleared out, last week there wasn’t an open spot anywhere but now what a big difference, just a hand full of RV’s left.  

We plan to hang out for another week before we head to Yuma and/or possibly Benson to hang out a few weeks before we venture east.  The snow storms and frigid temperatures continue to plague our route and we do not want to run into any of that weather.  We had planned to head east already so it has been difficult to get reservations in Yuma but we continue to try to get our Coast to Coast membership to pay off, grabbing a few days at a time and hopefully be able to stay a few weeks, if not we will have to pay the price…ugh!  We do have a few other choices, like Benson, Arizona where it is a bit chillier but not as bad as the rest of our route.  We will just continue to check out the weather and resort availability along our route and see where we end up.

Jerry went under Maggie to check out what is causing a new shake when we drive, just like what happened on our very first voyage.  It is probably the U-Joints that need to be replaced so we are looking to get that done.  He was hoping to do it himself but that will not be possible after all.  We called Best Auto & RV Repair in Quartzsite and the woman was so rude we would not even consider taking Maggie to them to work on.  We called a few other places but no luck, then we called Mead Automotive & RV Repair in Blythe, California and from the first conversation things were marvelous.  We made an appointment to get the work done on Wednesday.  We just have to button up a few things around here today and we will once again be in travel mode. 

The wonders of Neosporin…Jerry’s finger is just about healed and it was in really bad shape.  He literally cut off the tip of his finger and we kept it bandaged with Neosporin on it for the past week and when we took the bandage off to change it today, it was 99% healed.  Life is Grand!
