Emergency!

 

 Day 4
Well, since we dry camped last night, we weren’t able to hook up the RV and empty out the sewage. It wasn’t until we started driving that we noticed it. I don’t know if some seal was coming lose or what the problem was, but an odor began rising from the RV, and to put it bluntly, it wasn’t pretty. An emergency stop ensued.

As the stench started getting to us, by the favor of God, an RV park appeared on the road right alongside us. They told us we could empty our sewage there for $5 dollars. My dad said $50 would have been cheap at that point. As the sewage was emptying, we explored the RV park and saw our first huge Arizona cacti. We had some fun taking pictures with them. J Not that long after, we hopped in our RV and continued on our journey, smelling like primroses once again.   





Help, I'm stuck in a...
...cactus?
 

Catch me!

 

Friends :)

Visiting people we know has always been one of the best parts about trips for us. Today we were able to visit our friends (and John Denos’ family- parents, brother and nephew) John and Pat, Larry, and Dillon Denos. We got to eat at the deli Dillon works at, and after we all ate (and had the deli’s famous free ice cream!!!) we all came back to the RV, where we were treated to some wonderful guitar playing by Larry. That night we stayed at a resort for older retirees. We didn’t fit the criteria, but they let us in anyway.
