We stopped yesterday afternoon after only a couple of hundred miles. We went by a Sierra Trading Post outlet outside Boise and decided to check it out but found out that the prices were the same as their catalogue so we came out with nothing. We found a great little RV campground for $12 using our discount and decided on grilling a steak as our “last dinner” of the trip. Afterwards, we played some cards and watched a little TV on our last night on the road. (Harris won again…by some incredible score this time. Something like 400-70). This whole trip back went incredibly fast lasting only 6 days. Although we were hoping for sun, heat, and wearing shorts, we lucked out by dodging several major storms that predicted high winds, rain, snow, and flooding in many parts. We arrived home a little after 7 PM and as we turned the corner of the walkway we were surprised by a welcome home poster on our door created by our neighbor/house caretaker Lynne. We felt warmly welcomed home and grinned as we scoped out the pictures from our blog that bordered the sign. Judy was tired, but Harris, who has done all this driving, was ready to go out again in search of the sun. He loves this vehicle. He loves driving. He loves traveling with it. Judy loves Harris. Still.
