Didn't want to leave before we had our dental work (3 crowns between the two of us) done. So Feb 21, we brought up the leveling jack, pulled in the slides, started up the big diesel and said goodbye to Lake Casitas. We had the hard goodbye the previous evening when after a wonderful meal at Serena's we had our last hugs from her wonderful family. We pointed the MH towards the east and followed the road to Blythe, CA for the first night. On to our second wonderful family, the Chris Hagens in MN.
How do you camp in Feb. in MN? Not easily. When we've been at Chris' before, we had to run the generator a lot because we only have 15 amps of power-not enough to run even one of our two furnaces. So, we are adding a 50 amp box next to the existing box in the barn. We also have made arrangements for services to pump out our waste water and sewage. Another service will come and refill our propane as needed. But we will not be paying any camping fees which balances the cost. In addition, we are praying for a mild March/April!
Amazingly, the joys of being involved in the life of the CA grandchildren, meant less time for things like blogging! In these next few travel days, I'll be posting highlights of our time in CA and interesting stuff from this drive. This first one people my age will associate with the old Sinclair gas sign.
