Our first few days of the LONG trip

Well, we started our trip a little later than what we wanted but thats what happens sometimes, lol.

We spent the night of March 31 at the storage lot. We had to clean the apartment finish packing and loading up and it took a little longer than we had anticipated. Then April 1^st we finished loading the 4Runner and the bike on the 20ft Big Tex trailer. We had to leave the smaller trailer that we had towed the bike on when we had gone out to California months ago, storing it at the same lot. Drove about 300 miles the first day. We stopped at Desert Gold RV Resort in Salome, AZ. It is about $33 a night with no discounts but we did use the AAA discount for about $28 total. This place is a definate resort. It has a spa that is open 24 hrs a day along with game rooms, crafts, bingo nights, etc. If we had more time to spend we would have spent a few days there but alas nope the road and trip is calling.

April 2 – We fried eggs on our stove (thanks Thom for fixing it!!) for the first time. Then we got started back on the road about 11:30 am and stopped a few places along the way like Cycle Gear in Touson, AZ for something for the bike. Not a good idea to take a 40 ft MH and a 20 ft trailer into downtown Touson, lol. We made it back out and on the road without too many problems thou so thats a good thing. We then stopped at about 9 pm at the border of AZ and NM at the visitors center. Logged onto their free wi-fi and took care of our plants in the Wizard101 game, lol, then hit the hay by 9:30 pm.

April 3 - At some point there was a refidgerator truck that stopped in and of course had the cooling units going so at about 6 am we got up and started our generator and made coffee. Did some waking up then drove over to the Love's truck stop and got breakfast and added air to the tires. Just passed into TX and stopped at that visitor center at about 11 am. Got on their free wi-fi and took care of the plants again, lol. Did a geocache while there. We are going to try to find at least one in every state that we pass thru. Www.geocaching.com is the site for that. Something to do just about anywhere, they have caches all over the world. There is even a cache on the space station :).

The connections have not been that strong most places, going in and out so have not had time to write this up and upload so I am writing it on the way and will upload when I get the chance. I have taken pics and video and will upload all that when I can.

PS - for those that are wondering about our list of places to visit. We are planning on seeing everyone that we can in lots of states LOL - Jeff P we should see you in about 3 or 4 days.
