On Thursday, we spoke with Rick and Y via Skype to coordinate our meeting up near Cheyenne, WY. We told them that we were leaving on Monday instead of Tuesday so we will be meeting up with them a day earlier than originally planned.
Earlier in the day, we took the kayaks off the truck so that we could put the cockpit covers on and then positioned them on the truck in their traveling location. Another step done in preparation of leaving.
John worked on Friday so that we could go to the Arts Festival at Custer State Park on Saturday. Most likely we won't go to the Arts Festival but one never knows.
On Saturday, we picked up all outside items, took down the king pin stabilizer and the rear stabilizer, and happily found that we still have room in the basement and bed of the truck after being stationary for almost five months. Once we finished picking up everything outside we could for now, we went over to see Larry and Geri Gustafson (Broken Arrow Campground) to say goodbye. They will be closing up the campground on October 5. After a visit north to Minnesota, they too will be on a southern heading. We were shown their toy hauler which is nice and cozy. Besides their quads, Geri is wanting to take their kayaks so she was interested in our setup. Larry and Geri work so hard during the campground season that it is really nice seeing that they are able to get away and enjoy some play time. We are hoping to have our paths cross when each of us are in Arizona after the first of the year.
Once back at the rig, we washed the truck. One can't travel with dirty vehicles, you know. I know, I know, after one days worth of travel, we are going to have bugs splat everywhere but we must start out clean. The fifth wheel roof got swept off and the sides dusted. We are practically ready to go but first we both have to work our final shift on Sunday. Soon, we will be "On the road again" - yee haw!
