The newest dilemma is the shower floor may possibly be leaking. It's had a small crack in the plastic floor (the shower is one piece) since we bought the rig. The crack has grown. We saw some water dripping from under the RV. We'll look into it later tonight or tomorrow. There's an access panel in the front of the shower to access the drain and such. Wish us luck!
We were fortunate to drive through Glen Canyon. More beautiful rocks. I know, it seems like our trip is centered around dead Indians and giant rocks. Maybe we'll find a place where we can throw rocks at Indians. Like a carnival duck shoot booth.
We stopped for lunch within Glen Canyon. As usual, most of the roads we travel are empty and when stopped it is so quiet and peaceful. Have you ever seen "The Hills Have Eyes"? We have; it's a horror movie and many of the surroundings remind us of it. Here's the plot synopsis:
While traveling in a trailer to California through the New Mexico Desert, a family is misled to a shortcut going to nowhere by the owner of an isolated gas station and wrecks the car in a rock. Along the night and on the next day, they are attacked by a group of deformed cannibals, fruit of the atmospheric nuclear tests conducted by USA from 1945 to 1962 in that spot. Absolutely trapped by the psychotics, they have to fight to survive.
I know, it's creepy. I was lucky to have caught it on film. I expected some mutant to attack at any moment.
We drove through Capital Reef National Park to get here and it was beautiful. That's going to be one of our destination points this week. We're staying at Thousand Lakes RV Park and I'm happy to say that we have a strong cell phone signal. Yay. I think there's only 2-3 other people staying here. This park is closing for the winter in a few days. We bought a stack of firewood to use; the temperature for tonight is supposed to be in the low 20's. We filled our water reserves and reeled in the hose. We don't need anymore frozen water issues. We've got enough on-going issues to deal with. Dasher seems to be in heaven here, it's like 1,000 other dogs have marked the grass and he's not sure what spot he should re-mark. What a stressful life, eh? Where should I pee? Should I save some for the next 15 spots?
Aside from this place making Dasher happy, it makes us happy too. Look at the incredible view from our patio! A funny thing about this is, neither one of us noticed the view until we finished setup. Jim called me outside to look at the view. Duh. Rock and Indians, rocks and Indians....
Pictured above is the park during the day, below at night.
After setup, we redeemed a restaurant.com certificate for "Rim Rock Restaurant". We used Jim's Diet Coke points. See, it pays to drink 32 gallons of Diet Coke a day. Anyway, the restaurant had pretty good food, and it was situated where most seating had a view of the mountains.
Just ANOTHER reminder, we're only up to $32.73 in ad income. How's about using the search bar on the left to find your favorite crap?
Some of you may know about my fondness of cartoons and Wonder Woman. I found this video last night and couldn't pass it up. I love it.
"The Hills Have Eyes." :snick:.. um...:titter: that's ... that's ...hahahahahhaha-snort-hahahahha-gasp-hahahhahahah -wheeze-hahahhahahahahahhahahahha
ReplyDelete(wiping tears from eyes) thanks for that. The view from your patio at night is breathtaking. and by that I mean I stared at it while taking a breath. Then I moved on. P.S. Where's the five "100'th Post Memorial Kits" that I pre-ordered? it's been 3-to-5 weeks already, and I paid in advance including shipping and handling since Bob's Delivery Service can't do COD anymore because of the current case in Federal Court.
H&T, you'll get the rest of your kits when I receive the check for the phone.

I was gonna send you a check, actually, but Jim told me you were just trying to get cash out of me for what was, essentially, your startling similarity to the elder Katherine Hepburn jonesing for crack cocaine naked in an ice storm. i.e. twitchy and graceless. i.e. it was your fault. i.e. "get over it, Gretchen."
ReplyDeleteI still felt sorry for you and wanted to send a check, but David and I decided to do that after Jim has gone without Diet Coke for more than 10 days. By then you'll really need it for the divorce lawyer.
P.S. Love you honey.
