Making plans

Having the use of Jim's car has been great and we have been giving some serious thought to buying a vehicle we can tow behind the RV.  The more that we have looked into this, however, the less sure we have become that this is actually a viable option, and we have turned our attention once again to getting back on the road.

We had a family pow-wow.  Nicole is ready to go home, so we decided to leave here on Saturday and head for Portland, Oregon with the idea of getting her and Sadie on a plane for Anchorage as soon as possible.  Getting a car to tow has been put off at least until then.  Where Nancy and I will go after Portland and for how long has been left up in the air for now.

We took the car to Sonic for lunch.  We have been seeing ads for them on TV for years but there are none in Alaska and we couldn't let Nicole go home without eating in one. Unfortunately, their ads are better than their food.

We then drove the RV to Jim's.  He is off again today and I took advantage of this to get help washing the RV.  Although the occasional rain storm has removed a lot of bugs and road grime, there was still enough left to give Jim and I a really good workout.

Rather than impose on them for dinner as well, we went back out to Geronimo and ate dinner in the RV.  This evening we drove down to the beach after dark and Nicole got some interesting pictures using my tiny Gorillapod tripod.
