Have a safe trip.

 

Considering your route and where you're going...

Check your mounting turnbuckles every now and then.

 

My first long trip I encountered a really strong wind & rain storm.

The guy on the radio said the wind was going at 50 mph or so, and I was driving head-on into it at 50 mph.

I was sure the camper was going to come off the truck... but, it didn't.

 

So...

Thanks for the reminder! I'll set my Trip Meter and check them every couplea hundred (150-200) miles. Or when I stop for gas. Whichever is sooner. :-)

 

I'm all packed up.. having a last minute "dinner" (scrambled eggs and tortilla) and getting on the road.

The excitement builds.................................

We made it to our first stop: Holbrook, Az.
There were many philosophical meanderings and difficult walks down memory lane during this first leg, but I can't speak to any of that now. Something terrible has happened and I must return to Prescott. I'm so sorry for disappointing you all.

I thought I had everything. I check and listed and thunk. But in the end, I have failed.
The one item that makes a trip like this possible is quietly awaiting my return.
My French press.

What am I to do?! This is a travesty of the greatest kind. I don't know if I can go on (hand to forehead). Pugsly wants me to stay strong and push forth, but I don't know if I can face the morning sun.

Disaster averted! I failed to look in the sink! I prepared and forgot! The tempest has passed, the journey is saved, I can continue tilting at windmills... in the morning.(bother, my phone won't let me post pictures!)

Good night!

[ski3pin]

Better yet, good morning!

Consider a spare. I have a backup plan in case I can't make coffee the normal way.
