Where in the heck is Fillmore?

Fillmore, UT
Yup...thats where we are. We are on the way south.

We got out of Odessolet around 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. We had a little more to do than I had planned on. On Saturday instead of packing as I had planned, Al had other idea's. We seemed to have too many tomatoes, so we wound up canning 14 quarts of tomatoes on Saturday morning! THEN, I started to pack the trailer. Needless to say, having lost the morning, I was behind. I think I did pretty good by getting us out of there by Sunday. Al was all for waiting until Monday moring to leave, but I vetoed that right away because he would find something more to do and we wouldn't get gone until late in the day...I know him! We stopped in Hermiston, Oregon for the night. That was after discovering we didn't have headlights on the truck, nor running lights! WTH?


Monday
After leaving the RV park we headed for Pendleton, OR and hoped for a Ford dealership...no such luck. So we stopped at a Walmart so I could do some light shopping for groceries; Al checked the fuses and all seemed to be okay. So we decided to keep going (what else could we do?) as we had brake lights and turn signals and for some reason, we now had headlights on the truck. We stopped in Mountain Home, ID for the night as we were running out of daylight. Nice RV park, fairly new and easy access to the freeway.

Tuesday
We about froze last night! BRRRR. The furnace kept coming on all night and niether of us got much sleep. Al had cramps all night and was up and down all night. Needless to say I was awake. This morning I took the dogs for a long walk and found an area to let them off the leash and let them run. And run they did! We left around 9:00 a.m., and both of us ocmmented on the traffic on the freeway...lots of people heading south. The weather has been absolutely beautiful. Crisp, cold mornings, bright, brillant afternoons. And the tree's; the leaves are beautiful gold, red and orange. So far it has been a very pretty drive, well, with the exception of parts of southern Idaho and northern Utah, which are very treeless and desolet.

We are staying at our favorite KOA in Fillmore tonight. The owners are from Stanwood, WA and we try to stay here at least once a year as they really keep the park in excellent condition. Plus, it is at least a half mile from the freeway!

We are 659 miles from home...so tomorrow night we will be in Camp Verde, Az and home by early afternoon on Thursday...that is if we don't have any unforeseen trouble. Our truck and trailer are getting old and have a lot of trips on them, so we never know what will happen. I think it is time to get something new, however, Al disagree's with me. He is of the mind that we will keep these until they die...a thought I don't like.

So, until we get home, hope all is well with everyone.

We are...

THE WROAMIN' WRASPIRS, for the moment.
