Head West not so young Man

I got lucky, tested the heater again, zero smell. I think they overfilled the tank...
but here's someone who sure was NOT lucky...
I don't like heights so I don't think I'm going to be leaning over anything there.

Texas man dies after falling off Grand Canyon rim - CNN.com

Standing at the Grand Canyon is so inspirational that it is even more horrible for a tragedy like this to have happened.

I can't remember if this park was on your map, but if so, there are many safe places to look over the edge, but better yet, go to a trail head and hike down, if only for an hour - the experience is so different, especially if you can venture down even further.

Also, make reservations to eat in the historic El Tovar dining room - my wife had duck and voted it her favorite meal ever.

Due to our remote location, a surcharge will be add ed to each guest check to offset local utility expense.

neat menu, and the surcharge at the end is something I have never seen in my life...fascinating.

One of my favourite T shirts (I like understated...), no Pic, just said:

I Stood on the Corner

Winslow Arizona

in a nice looking small crest.

Saw a guy wearing one, in Northern Ontario, of all places..... if'n'when I do that part of 66, I'll have to see if I can find one...... ordering it online feels like All Sorts of Wrong !

boy this made me chuckle, a first in my rv park hunting. The park I had picked for seeing New Orleans was in East St Louis and I wondered if I could get
closer in without sitting on a busy highway. And what do i find?...
100 sites and big rig rated.

I bet they mean you are only supposed to be naked inside your own rv. I'm sure that has to be it.

my friends who moved to Lafayette, CO from very nearby where I live here, said I can't miss the trains.
and I won't, a train museum sounds like great fun. A good outing for us two guys.

have everything loaded over into my laptop, made sure the web email worked, getting all my little details worked out.
bought some drawer organizers and drawer slides to install in the motorhome. Pulling out twenty cans of stuff to get at the one in the back
is a pain, trying to reduce it on several drawers. Particularly if they are down low or hi.

getting the motorhome oil and filter changed on Wednesday and then will bring it home to pack for a week before I head out. Figure that gives me enough time
to pack stuff away properly, get what I forgot, hang a little artwork, and maybe one last wax at least on the front of the rv.
getting ready and getting excited. reminds me of going to florida on the intercoastal, 30 days on the water. This will be at least 90, maybe 100 days.

I bet the anticipation is killing you! I've also been champing at the bit to get started, need to check and pack the wheel bearings on the 5th wheel, get the truck serviced , then I'll be ready to go. I've had all the non perishable stuff loaded for over a month now.
