Home Safe and Sound

We are sure happy to be home...between extreme heat, out of control fires, and coach repairs, we had quite a trip.  OK, we also had a lot of fun in between all the drama!

Rich could hardly wait to jump on his mower, and reclaim the lawn, me.....housework....not so much.  I concentrated on clearing out the coach.  Some how or other, we accumulate a lot of stuff on the road, maps, brochures, tons of rocks (not quite literally), shells, funny sticks, extra fast food napkins, you know, STUFF! 

Anyway, we are about sorted out, laundrys' caught up, and we've almost figured out how to work the tv again.

Til next time,

Rich and Cyn.

Catching Up

We loved San Francisco so much that we ended up spending a week touring around.  This picture is of the section known as Chinatown.  There is a playground near here, and every afternoon ,the older  men and women get together and play cards on makeshift tables.  It is so neat to see lots of children and adults out like that. 

 My glamor shot, high above the pacific, north of San Francisco.

Rich climbing down to stick his toe in crystal clear Lake Tahoe, one of the deepest lakes in the country.

 Napa Valley, where there is water, there are vineyards, no water, no green....a beautiful place with golden hills.

 

We also loved Chicago...only not the traffic and road system.  We had to drive our car in, and the parking was expensive.  Along with that, when we tried to navigate, our gps got lost, and took us subterranean, very scary under the city amidst girders and strange noises.  Even so, we loved the Navy Pier, Lake Shore Drive, and of course, the Miracle Mile shopping district.  Couldn't find any of the famous museums, though we did try.  They have done a wonderful job with the lake shore, lots of public beachs and parks.

 

Lake Michigan, blue, cool, and huge.  Lots of people on the city beaches and parks all along Lake Shore Drive. 

 

We will be leaving this area  and heading to Elkhart, Indiana tomorrow.  Our windshield has popped loose again, and Thor Motor Coach has given us appointment at their factory to try to figure out the problem once and for all.  This is the fifth time it has happened, always in the same corner. Wish us luck!

Love and miss everyone, seems like once we point east, we get in a hurry to get home!

 



Oops, almost left out Cheyenne, Wyoming....gorgeous place.  I think Rich liked it best of all....
