Day 9 - Moving Day

We moved to the new site and it is so much nicer than the previous site we had.  We now have electricity hookup and lots of room to move around.  Nikki seems to like it also since there is no tall grass here - just trees and pine needles.

Kevin spent his day working on the rear end of the truck, with my assistance when needed.  He got the air suspension system on, in a few days we will see how it works.  If it doesn't work, we may be going to a dealership to look for a heavier duty truck.  Lord I hope this air suspension system works because I love my truck!

I cleaned the camper and could not believe how muddy the water was after just wiping everything down.  Got the floors vacuumed and mopped and cleaned the A/C filter.  It's nice being in a clean camper again.

Nikki loves this spot - great ball throwing room!

We took Nikki to town (Durango) in hopes of finding a place to eat outside with her.  No luck.  So many people wanted to pet and love on her.  Some drunk girl wanted to take her home.  No way!!  Normally out west dogs are welcome everywhere, not here.  We got dinner to go, went back "home" and ate.  Exhausted, early night.

No pics to post today, we were both too busy working on truck and camper.

Tomorrow hope to ride motorcycles some after we go to town to do laundry.  Will have service in town to update blog.

See ya for now!

Day 1: Learning curve & Swerve - Kevin

Thursday June 4 CRAP! Best way of describing our first day, a long day. We did a shake down ride a week or so prior to this trip and knew things weren't perfect with the truck/trailer combo. We had problems with the handling of the trailer at speeds over 60 mph but thought it was manageable at a lower speed. Well on our shake down ride we had loaded the motorcycles and the generator, but once fully loaded things got worse. Stopped at a Lowes and bought 6 bags of gravel to help distribute the weight better, it was an improvement, but not great. After 8 hours we bought 4 more bags and that was a major improvement. Stayed at Bootheel camp ground in Missouri, the reviews said peaceful and quite. Not sure where that reviewer lives but we are a couple hundred yards from an interstate hwy, maybe the constant sounds of semis through the night was their idea of peaceful white noise. Diamond bound in the morning! Stephanie plans on finding one bigger than the Hope Diamond.

Day ???? - Nikki

I have no idea what the idiots are up to today!  Woof!  I'm tired of being put into the back seat and only being able to see 1/4" above the window, haven't these morons heard of booster seats?  I don't know how much longer of this riding around for hours, being brought out into the sun and fresh air only for a few minutes at a time, and them demanding that I "Go Potty".  I'm about ready to call PETA!  Wait, my paws are too fat to dial, can someone call PETA for me please?  In the meantime, I'll continue to thrill them when I pee and poop.  Someone, please help!!

Day 15 - Miles of Adventures

Today started out with an outing on back dirt roads to see the Mexican Hat up close and personal.   We were hoping to be able to ride down to the San Juan River, but the descent was very steep with loose sand.   We did get to the back side of the Mexican Hat though. After that on to the Valley of the Gods!   WONDERFUL RIDE!!!   The road through the valley was as perfect as we could ask for for a dirt/sand road.   There was one time when my back wheel got a little squirrely on me in deep sand.   I was to blame because I was riding in Ray Charles mode (swinging head left and right to catch all the sights) and didn’t pay attention to my immediate surroundings.    It was very deep sand!   But I made it and Kevin following made it through with no problems.   Valley of the Gods is beyond words to describe!   I’m so disappointed that my “go pro” camera was not rolling as we drove through the valley.   I thought I’d turned it...
