Cleaning the Coach

It was another cold, blustery day in New Mexico. We have been told that the wind is normal for this time of year. But, it's a cold, cold wind. I called Rapid City, SD to have our mail sent to us and never got an answer. Upon further investigation, I discovered that they were in the middle of another blizzard. The offices in town were all shut down as well as the airport. No mail going out today.

Still, Doug decided that it was a good time to start cleaning the outside of the coach. He hauled out the microfiber cloths, the waterless cleaning solution and the ladder. The back of the coach is the first thing that others see as they drive into the park, so that was the starting point.

He was able to work for 30 -45 minutes before his hands got too cold. A brief warming period inside and back at it again.

When he got to the side of the coach, I had to go outside and hold the ladder for him. Between the wind and the unlevel ground, I was a little nervous about him falling. He finished almost half the coach when the weather just became too nasty. Tomorrow's another day.

We jumped in the car and made a quick trip to Walmart to get our Redbox free movies, then home for the evening. We really don't mind the cool weather when we are safe and sound in our cozy, little box.

Sounds like it's time to get out of there and go some place warm.
