The two day haul

On Dec 28th, K and I set out to bring the travel trailer from CA to AZ. We knew it would be a 2 day trip as it was quite a haul for the truck to pull, and since we were hauling a bed and bathroom along, it really made sense to take the trip in two goes.
When we arrived here, I created an amazing anecdote of the trip saved as a word document (as opposed to saving said draft online) and my computer was promptly eaten by a trojan horse.
K being the genius he is was able to save the pictures, but unfortunately, MY DOCUMENTS was not so easy to access. Easy geeks, he does know how to do it, but it would be a crack and he has enough to chew on right now. but that is another story for another day... so for now i'm trying not to think about all the stories i'd written which are now vapor. ah well, it looks like its time for a new beginning.
so back to the story...
I will post some pics later of the caravan, its a hoot! it took us about 7 hours to make quartzite (after a short stop in a mini mall in Acton where we very nearly had to stay due to traffic- but owing to K's skills, we were able to muscle out of there!) in quartzite we were debating whether it was logical to camp at 7 PM with no TV and nothing else to do. after deciding to carry on with the journey, k's yorkshire radar (cheep cheep) went off and he pulled into what looked like an RV park with a homemade sign. the "office" was a little white caravan in spot #1. i knocked on the door and inquired about the price of an overnight (we had already established a motel room would be $50, and they had no parking for a 35' rig) she told me don't worry about it and merry xmas! K was over the moon.
we asked where we could get a beer and a meal and they reccommended "silly al's" 3 miles down the road. we walked (we weren't in LA!) and had a GREAT time.
There was a cow boy playing a turn on the stage and we got good beer and excellent garlic bread! in addition, i danced with a one-armed cow boy with the word "dude" embroidered in his denim collared shirt. (his left arm was prosthetic, which was convenient for dancing. he was a stellar dancer and was able to direct me on the floor!) he also had the manners to ask K if he could dance w/ me and walk me back to the table and thank K for the opportunity.
after dancing with dude, we noticed my mom's doppleganger was also on the dance floor. weird. of course mom wanted to know if we had a photo- oh yeah, life-size picture of that one, "excuse me, you look just like my mom, could i take a photo?" and to be honest, i didn't know how scary she was up close. didn't want to send mom THAT photo (she could have been a twin-from across a smoke filled dimly lit room!)
well, it's time to put myself to bed. i've been putting it off as i have to sleep alone tonight, K is back in CA watching the H channel and i have to work tomorrow. but i'll leave you with this: i've been hanging out with english teachers and i've finally figured out what i need to do to write my first novel. duh. i have to PLAN it. anywhoo, i'll keep y'all posted. could be a best seller.
