Wow what a day we had. We slept really well in the Best Western in Oakhurst. Steve got up about six so that means we were all up at 6. Out the door by 6:30. We walked over to the restaurant where they served a breakfast buffet which was free to the hotel guests. Then we gathered up the dogs and took off for Park Sierra. We stopped by the site #314 to grab a couple of things. Then over to the dog run and office. Finally over to pick up the Teryx. All seemed to go well so we headed out to the highway and we were on our way. Steve wanted to take a leak just outside the front gate of the park. I put my foot down on that idea. I was afraid someone we knew would see him. We drove about 10 miles and the trailer came off the truck. Fortunately we were able to unload the Teryx and lift it back on the truck. We then reloaded it and restrapped the Teryx. When we were just about finished when Kent and Lin Russell drove by and checked to make sure everything was OK. Apparently they were headed to Fresno and saw us. They must have turned around to make sure we were OK. So nice of them.
By 9:30 we were underway again. We went back the same route as we came yesterday. However we only traveled about 481miles today. We stopped in rest stops in Tulare and Boron. We decided to get gas in Ludlow. Of course the tire minder decided to alert. There was a run down tire shack across the street. Out of necessity we dove over there. It was a run down place where they gouged you. They tried to fix it. Twice. Steve had to lend the guy the tools to do the job. We got as far as Needles. Another alert. The valve stem again. A waste of $50.
Were continued down the road until we passed Needles and turned toward Havasu city. There was a Loves travel center. W We ate terrible burgers from Carl's Jr. And continued on to Parker. We reserved a room at the Quality Inn.It was almost 9 when we got to the motel. It was not up to the Best Western standards. We had to park the truck across the street in a vacant lot. Not happy about that or the quality of the room..Very basic. Hopefully it will be there when we wake up.
Fed the dogs and watching TV with the grinch.
