We are actually on the road

After all of these months of sitting at home, whining about being bored, we have actually gotten underway in the coach. We are headed west for a new adventure.

Our good friends, Don & Vicki Leith, arrived in Warr Acres yesterday afternoon. They live in Central Arkansas now after spending a few years living as nomads in their motor coach. They parked their coach at the almost abandoned shopping center a few block south of our house and then joined Joanne & I at the house for dinner and a good visit. At 9:00 this morning we met them at the shopping center and pulled out. We are headed for Baker, California to work as volunteers for the Baker to Vegas Challenge Relay Race. More info will be given about the race and our activities as we progress on this journey and actually learn what we are supposed to be doing

Tonight we are at the Cactus RV Park in Tucumcari, New Mexico. This place was originally a 1939 era motor court type motel. The original buildings are still here, around the perimeter of the property. The RV hookup slots are out in the middle of the motor court plus some more to the south of the buildings. Of course, the old motel rooms are all closed up now and it is strictly an RV park.
A couple of doors west of the RV park is Del's Restaurant so the four of us walked down there this evening for dinner and then back to the coach to rest up for tomorrows travels. Our next scheduled stop is Flagstaff, Arizona.

Baker? Is that anywhere near Bakersfield? My 2nd set of outlaws lived in Bakersfield... I was drooling at the thought of a chicken fried steak when I read "Del's Restaurant" but then realised it's actually Del Rancho I'm thinking about. I think I'd better go have some lunch... Pleased you're able to get out and about!
