First Move 2016
On our arrival I carefully back the Coach into a narrow, rock paved site. After a few adjustments to straighten our alignment, a nice neighbor (Joe) from across the street, asks if I would like a spotter.
Routine: Wintering in Mesa
This is the longest I have sat in one place since I left Mesa earlier this year. Having family near is a blessing and it keeps me busy between my maintenance projects with fun times, like the “trick or treating”.
Mighty Miss
I wasn’t sure how long I was going to be waiting for the new tire to be mounted. So I left for the tire store, leaving my buddy, Jagger behind…
Stop! – Turtle Crossing
Later that day, Jagger and I drove to the market and on our way back went to the Lake Onapa, which was only a short 1/2 mile drive. “Turtle Crossing” ahead and yes I see it Jagger. Oh there are several little guys making their way across the street.
Route 66 – Tucumcari

Packing Up For A Maintenance Trip
Utility Loom under the Kitchen slide. This is a bridge for electrical lines and has broken once before. Bretz RV in Missoula, MT did a haphazard repair that I had to pay for and now it’s broke again.

Mesa Winter Camp
In come the slides, up come the stabilizers. All hatches, cabinets and vents closed and secured. I move the Workhorse into position and a catastrophic failure happens…
