This must be the third day (I fell on Thursday afternoon) and I feel worse than ever. The only halfway comfortable position is standing, and I sure can't stand all day. Will this ever get better?
On a much nicer note, I am posting some pictures taken by Tim, Snowbird West's roadrunner-whisperer.
My body may have been hurting but I was in a great frame of mind, so I asked Dave if he would like to go with me to Wickenburg. I needed a couple of things and didn't want to go all the way to Buckeye, with its traffic. What a pleasant drive it was! My first time driving the truck with the camper mounted, and it was just like driving the truck alone. No problems whatsoever, and the side mirrors gave me a good view of the road behind me.
There was barely any sway, except maybe for a bit of uneven roadway. All in all I can say I love it! I got a surprise when I brought my groceries out to put into the fridge - after all my experience with a 5ver and packing for the drive, I completely forgot about securing anything. Surprisingly, there wasn't much movement - just in a few items - and nothing breakable. I think I left in too much of a hurry to think about giving the inside a check out. I am definitely going to be a happy camper!
- Blind Spot
To answer the comment from Anonymous that I should quit driving before I kill myself and others on the road, I will say I think everyone has a blind spot, and we learn about that when we learn to drive. We make adjustments such as turning our heads to...
- Emergency Care On The Road
I left after 8:00 a.m. this morning, intending to find the med center in or near Salome that I had googled. I never did come across it or any signs to it, so I just continued to Wickenburg, another site found online. That is the long way to Wickenburg,...
- Truck Campers Can Be Hazardous To Your Health!
I had an accident today and will probably suffer from the effects of it for a while. I was trying to insert a full propane tank into the camper. It's a small tank and I can handle it fairly well, except that the bay is up a little higher than on a...
- Back To Buckeye
I was up very early this morning as we needed to go to Buckeye and be back in time for the honey wagon I'd signed up for. There is some construction on I-10 that really slows traffic, as it is reduced to one lane in each direction, so Dave found an...
- The Deed Is Done!
Yesterday Steve towed my 5th wheel to a local dealer's lot, and this morning he drove me over to sign the papers authorizing them to sell it for me. They were very pleasant and optimistic, and seemed to be easy to work with, not something I readily...
