Fog Advisory

Try as I might, I still had beaucoup stuff to pack yesterday morning.  It truly brings out the organizer in me to try and fit all that stuff in the freezer, small as it is.  How do you fifth wheel people do it??

At long last, I thought I had everything and proceeded to do the hookup.  I should have read the directions to remind me what to do.  No amount of finagling could get the panel to turn on and retract the jacks.  I tried to be patient, but the old brain refused to remember.  I finally went looking for the instruction book.

As I pulled out of the driveway, my mind went crazy thinking about every step ... and did I get everything!  The foggy weather didn't help much, although as you can see, within 20 miles, it wasn't too bad.

By the time I hit Fresno, the sun had come out just in time to see the bullet train bridge finally completed.  You can now go completely across Fresno, or at least you could if there was actually a train, which they think they now cannot afford.  I'll be dead before they finish THAT project!!

The kids did fine .... Jonathan kitty kittied most of the way and Cooper just slept.  That was a miracle, I think maybe due to the air bags.  It really was a better ride than previously.  Although I feel like this trailer is small, it sure looks huge in pictures.  

Time flew by as I snacked most of the way.  In no time I was parked at the Orange Grove RV Park.  The amount of oranges on the trees is epic.  Although most are small, I was able to find some big juicy ones to take along.  

OH BOY are they ever good!!  I couldn't find a grocery bag, so I filled up two small boxes.  I have maybe ten, plenty to share when I arrive in Tucson. 

That's when I made the big discovery.  I completely forgot ALL of my checkbooks and passwords.  I'm going to have to come up with another way of doing things I suppose. 

Poor Cooper ... Mom doesn't speak DOG very well, and once we were situated, he began barking.  Good grief!  It took me ten minutes to figure out I forgot to give him some water.  Poor baby!!

So we were all settled in for the night with two heaters going, since the prediction for 32 degrees sounded way too cold for this crew!!  As it turned out, it only got down to 38 but that was low enough to run the big jet engine heater.  It woke me up every time it turned on in spite of the closed door.  Oh well .. that will get me used to Quartzsite.

And we are off again early this morning heading for Needles, then south.
