Almost time to be back on the road

As Willy Nelson sings: "On the road again, can't wait to get on the road again". It's almost time to head west for our Monaco America Fall Rally in Tucson, Arizona. We brought the coach home from the RV storage lot yesterday and I spent the afternoon today doing a few minor repairs that result from driving a house down the U.S. highways. We'll spend the next couple of days loading it up with food, cloths and the other necessities required for a few weeks.
We plan to pull out early Wednesday morning. The rally does not officially start until October 4th but we'll make a few stops along the way. We are planning to stop in New Mexico to see some old lava flows and crystal caves that were left from the volcano's. We'll stop over in a couple of places in Arizona, the Painted Desert/Petrified Forest and the old mining town of Jerome. (We briefly visited Jerome when we were out there this past March and want to go back and spend a couple of days there.)
Current plan is to arrive at the rally site in Tucson on Wednesday, September 29. We always like to get to the rallies early to spend a few days helping to get everything ready and to meet up and visit with the other club officer's and key volunteers. We'll stay after the rally for a couple of days and then head back to Oklahoma in mid-October. Of course all these plans are subject to change at a moments notice depending on the health of my parents and Joanne's mom. Regardless, we are excited about getting going again since we have not been out since last June.
