2016 Southwest Journey is Almost a Go!

Sunday, December 13, 2015

We have already had our first snowfall for the year.  There was no wind so it actually was quite pretty.  Yuma didn’t know what to make of his first snow walk.  You wouldn’t know it was the middle of December today.  It will be in the low 60’s with rain.  Yesterday was in the mid 60’s; but things are changing.  By this time next week it will only make it to the 30’s.

First snow for Yuma

I have been slowly loading the motorhome in preparation for our upcoming trip to the southwest.  Our plans are to take a direct route to Ajo, Arizona for our first two week camp.  It will take us seven days to make the trip if the weather holds up and we have no problems.  Me, Dolly, Fergie and Yuma are going to head out Monday morning, the 28th of December.

Earlier in the Fall, I took the motorhome to a tire shop and had two new tires placed on the front, had them balanced and aligned.  Also had them check the brakes and grease the fittings.  The brakes were fine, so I don’t have to worry about going down the mountains we will pass on our way.  Fortunately, the mountain passes are fairly low when taking the southern route. 

I will begin daily blogs once we get on the road so stay tuned.

See you later.
