Prep Day

November is on it's way out the door and so are we. Tomorrow we will pack up the coach and move down the road. We aren't going far but are excited to move. We have two sets of friends that we haven't seen in two years and we are looking forward to a good visit.

So, today consisted of putting things away, packing things back into the Jeep and basement, taking down decorations (outside) and planning the route. The longer we stay at a park, the longer it takes to get ready to go.

I use no-skid on the kitchen and bathroom counters for the cannisters and containers that stay on the counter. Several items are set in the shower stall for safe travel. The steering wheel table is cleared and stowed on the couch as we move, ready to be set back up when we stop. All of the map books and campground books are stacked (semi neatly) by my seat for easy access and we are prepared for morning.

The whole process doesn't take long, as we do a little bit all day long. And in the morning, we can be on the road within an hour.

We also went searching for the space shuttle today. We read that it was landing at Edwards Air Force Base which is northwest of where we are located. We thought we could see the descent and hear the sonic boom since we had such a clear view of the sky from several places outside the park. So, we watched and waited with our cameras ready.............and...........nothing. We heard nothing and saw nothing. The best laid plans of mice and men...yada...yada...yada.

Oh well, it was a beautiful day to sit in the sun and gaze at the sky.
