The big
house that moves is here. I took a nap
in it. That means my humans are going to
capture me and take me away. I think I
will go hide.
It’s getaway
day for us. Artie is all dressed up and
ready to go. Where is Rudy? Darn it!
Not under the bed… not in the garage…
not here, not there. That little
bastard! We have to find him before the
carpet cleaner comes. (We clean our
carpet, then leave so it will have weeks to dry). Oh, there he is behind the chair. I grab him…
he whines! Too bad!
We are
heading to Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Spouse’s sister, Kay is there, and she is in failing health. We need to assess her situation and see if
there is anything we can do for her. Our
mission is to get there, hopefully without dilly dallying. Once there, we can figure out where we want
to go and what we want to do. But for
today… it is get out of California!
Where we
used to take the Pearblossom Hwy. to Victorville, we now go out of our way to
Mojave, then catch the 58 to Barstow. It
is about 20 miles farther, but far easier.
There are no so many lights on the Pearblossom Hwy, it takes forever to
navigate.
Spouse and I
rotate driving. We have a new truck, and
it is so nice to drive, even with Artie behind us. But, it would be better if there were no
semis on the road! I hate them!
It is
warm. Correction, it is hot! Across the desert, through the hellhole of
Las Vegas, there was a semi broke down in the middle of the freeway making it a
miserable drive. Once we passed it,
smooth sailing all the way to Mesquite.
This is a long day of driving, but we just wanted to make time.
We have not
seen very many RV’s on the road at all.
We were able to get a primo spot (space 42) at the Casa Blanca, where we
did not have to disconnect. On with the
air conditioners! It is 109! In to the casino to eat as we are too tired
to cook. Gamed a little, but that was
enough.
It is dark,
and still 100 degrees… And the heatwave
starts tomorrow!
