What a day!!

Well, today, was an interesting day. We both woke up early and got a great start to contine our leisure trip to Idaho…we had a few stressful moments early in the day. The first stress was within 15 minutes, we had a bad sensor on the inside rear dual tire…the sensor kept telling us we had no air pressure in the tire. We stopped on the side of the freeway and checked to be sure it was ok…all good…started driving again…15 minutes later…I told Kelly,” I smell smoke!”….there was smoke in the back of the motorhome…Kelly safely pulled to the shoulder and we got out quickly…I had Julia (cat) in my arms tight as I didn’t want to lose her on the freeway….we started looking for what was burning…we checked tires/brakes and start looking at the engine…fear of our new home going up in smoke on I-80 near Cisco Grove…I went back into the motor home and found the source of the smoke…it was the electric bed mat had shorted out and melted on the wood night stand…

Scary…bad short on electrical..could have been worse.

I am always grateful I have my Rescue Hero Kelly…who takes great care of us…from here on out…Kelly says,”he is the bed warmer!”

After all the excitment of the morning…we finally were able to keep on going on the road…

On the road again…. Interstate 80 through Nevada

Julia,the cat was doing much better today on traveling in the motor home…she was riding the dash…

Julia the co-pilot

We planned to stop at a random little RV park and spend the night…we were not sure what to expect…it turned out to be a neat little park…we hope to return in the future and go explore the hills and look for gold…this park has a little bar inside the store…so we also took a moment of stress relief after parking the motorhome…we are here for the night…tomorrow we head to Elko, NV.

RV Park…what a great little park!

Flower garden at the RV Park

End of the day…parked…Stress relief….visiting with the local people..

Tomorrow…a new day…a new adventure…to Elko…
