On the Road (Again!)

The last time Willy visited our campfire was a few years ago in Colorado where we sang “On the Road Again” as only Willy can. This time he dropped by our place in Texas (his home State), he mentioned something about Tax Time coming up and he had some papers to gather for this event. No more Tax Evasion for him!

He next strummed another one of his tunes, The Highway, and that’s all we needed to hear. The next thing we knew we heard that highway calling us too, so we jumped into the Motorhome, threw a few ropes around the Honda, and exited the finally nice weather of Texas and are bound for SoCal.

It’s kind of like SoHo  (South of Houston Street) in NYC, but much further away and a lot bigger!

We are on our way back to this area after a several year absence. This was the first sizeable trip that we took back in the beginning. It works nicely as we get to stay “South”, hopefully with most winter anomalies staying well north of us!

We are headed for the Palm Springs area. The last time we were here Frank, Sammy, and Dean and the rest of the Rat Pack asked us to visit. This time we’re on our way to visit a couple that we met whilst on the World Cruise last year.

(I can’t believe that its been a whole year! On this date last year we were sailing between Moorea, Tahiti and Pago Pago, American Samoa!)

Sandi and Steve live up in Oregon, but winter in Palm Springs, so off we go! It’s already been one full day on the road, about nine hours of driving and we still have about 140 miles left before we get outa Texas….. As I’ve related before…. This place is gigantic!

So far, the Evil Interstate 10 has behaved herself, no 40 mph crosswinds to counter, traffic has been unusually light, but we are not complaining as we had a rather uneventful day yesterday. The only event worth mentioning was the brief interlude when the Motorhome died at 73 mph.

                   Then, 3 seconds later, came back to life.

                   A call into our service guys was not able to ascertain the issue as there could be many a reason for the “glitch”.

Yes…. that is the Official Nomenclature used for describing that situation.

We are hoping that this uninvited guest does not reappear anytime soon.

See you in Palm Springs!
