We took a ride up to Monticello and Winston, historical/ghost towns which still have folks living in them. Not much going on in either though Winston appears to have a museum which is probably open during the summer months when it's busier.
We've also done a lot of nothing which translates into just hanging around home reading, cooking or watching tv, the weather has been beautiful high 60's to low 70's with an abundance of sunshine, the nights have been in the high 30's which makes for some great sleeping weather. Today Dave got out fishing again with a bit more success, he has 3 catfish for his lunch tomorrow.
We think we have the light issue taken care of on the rv, a fuse for the right side lights and turn signal was blown and has been replaced. We'll know more when we leave here but that should have taken care of it.
We'll extend our stay tomorrow until Sunday when we'll head to Rockhound State Park then a week in Tuscon before we head into Phoenix in two weeks for Thanksgiving with our son and daughter-in-law.
Until next time...
Glad you didn't have your camera when you saw that snake! Those that know me know I freak even with a picture so thanks :)
ReplyDeleteGlad the light issue was only a fuse. Sometimes it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, so glad you found it. Enjoy the rest of your time there and congrats to Dave on the catfish! Happy Hump Day :)
I'm with you about the snakes, as a kid we lived in TX and once while hiking I almost stepped on a rattle snake since then I stay as far away from them as I can. So if it's up to me no snakes will ever make the blog.
DeleteLovely pictures of the lake. Wonder what it would be like to live in a 'ghost town'. Hope the fix sticks!
ReplyDeleteThese "ghost towns" were 45 minutes at least from anything, some had no stores and I can only imagine how far the kids had to go for school. Commuting to anywhere could have been an issue during the rainy season, saw lots of repairs being done on the roads from flash flooding.
DeleteWe really enjoyed Tucson last year. Stayed at Catalina SP, was beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWith the second truck AZ parks are $40/night though I'm sure they must have an annual day pass. We are staying at a PA park outside of Tuscon
DeleteGlad you found the warm weather! :-) Happy to hear the light issue was nothing serious.
ReplyDeleteWe have yet to see a rattlesnake during our travels out west. I'm not complaining, mind you. LOL!
The less I see of snakes the better, so enjoying the warm weather
DeleteThanks for reminding me of Rock Hound State Park. I wanted to stay a couple of nights at Catalina SP in Tucson on our way to TX but its already booked up. We stayed at Elephant Butte SP last year and enjoyed it even though it ended up snowing. Enjoy the rest of your stay :-)
ReplyDeleteOur last day of an enjoyable week, we hope to someday workamp here, we have a PA park picked out for Tuscon, looking forward to long hot showers :)
