Time to take a break folks

Well today I never even took the lens cover off of my camera. We pulled up stakes at the Grandview Tower and rocked and rolled our way out to the Parks Highway and then headed south to Williams. Along the way we stopped at the Raptor Ranch near the Valle Airport to fill up a couple of propane bottles. Nice place, friendly people. Then it was off to the Williams, Arizona, Maverik station to feed the 450 and dump our tanks. After which we ventured downtown trailer in tow, to find a dispensary for some stuff Brenda needed to deal with her CRPS which has been in a flare since she took a tumble the day before we left Dogpound North. We couldn't find any potable water around town and convenient so we headed west on I-40 towards our friends place at Seligman. Enroute we stopped and filled up at the KOA in Seligman and then headed west to Anchor Rock Road and the trail to Markham Pass. It was great to get into Dave and Linda's place and get set up, then spend the rest of the day trading stories, mostly all true of course. Linda whipped up a great dinner for us with some frozen Key Lime Pie that was to die for. We are going to spend a couple of days here before venturing south into the Sonoran Desert for some more boondocking time. Last night our furnace quit on us, and everything indicates it is the sail switch that was on the fritz, but it appears that the rough road out of the park has knocked the lint or whatever was on it, off, as it seems to be working again. Time will tell I guess, but I will take the warning seriously and order a new sail switch for it somewhere along our travels.

  1. Sail switch issues seem to cause too much trouble. You'd think (hope) someday someone would invent a better device. Maybe you could figure a way to make one now that you have so much free time on your hands. ;c)
