We had the nicest day we’ve had since leaving Big Timber! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It started with a colorful sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laundry got done, bugs washed off (light wash but looks better!), RV cleaned up, walks taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It got hot enough for A\/C by 11:00 and then we were mostly inside, but blinds open and I worked on some video editing while enjoying the view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clouds piled up over the mountains and the wind came up…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really like the awning mechanism on Wild Thing II. Above, it is maybe 1\/4 deployed, no support arms when extended just this amount, but it is steady and shading the living area and door windows which means we could keep blinds open. It is easy to put out and retract even though all manual vs the newer automatic awnings. I use the awning a lot because it is easy and flexible in how much I extend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a rest day after travel, I got a lot done. We all slept well last night and didn’t have the usual after travel day slows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sunset walk, before a relaxing evening and hopefully another good night’s sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do not have to launch first thing so will leave when ready tomorrow. I am stopping about 40 miles short of the destination to get Covid and Flu vaccine and then on to see my folks briefly, get groceries and then get set up for a nice long park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
