The adventure begins tomorrow.....

Well we have packed up as much as we can ready for our departure from Lakeside Rv Park, Pahrump tomorrow.  We plan on getting to San Diego on Thursday after stopping at Calico Ghost Town for two nights.
On Friday we will meet up with Ryan & his girlfriend Christina and go to Del Mar races.

We went for a short drive to test the road that we will be taking tomorrow and nearly decided to go back through Vegas, although this would add an hour to our journey.  Have now decided not to do this and will stick to our original plan of the back route to Baker, Ca.

The last week has been quite an adventure in itself.  I have fallen over twice, both times on wet concrete and both times I had my flip flops on!!!!  Duh, should have learnt the first time.  The second time I twisted my knee and so I am now hobbling a little.  This could be classed as my first injury on the road.  Looked up on the internet how to treat this and so icepacks and a little rest and the knee is getting better.  Bryan also fell when CoCo pulled him out of the motorhome, she was eager for her walk, and he fell down the steps and flat on his back.  He hurt his ankle, so we are like the walking wounded.
On a brighter note, here are some pics from one of our early morning walks around the lake.  We have a resident heron, who seems to be in the same place every day and almost looks like a statue but I have seen it move so know it's alive :)



We bought a planter and some plants for outside the motorhome to personalize it a bit.
Do you like the "Bobby" whirlygig?  His arms go round in the wind and he looks like he is directing traffic, so cute.  Someone that Bryan met at the airport where he worked made him for us when he found out I was English!!  That was so, so nice of him and we saved it until we started traveling in the motorhome.

Here is the view of the park and lake from our motorhome. It is really nice here and I will miss the walks around the lake.

Went into Vegas last week to say goodbye to old friends and workmates.  It was nice catching up and seeing everyone and still can't really believe we are leaving after 20 years here.

We have booked our tickets for Daytona in February 2014, so we will be parked in the infield for 7 days for the Daytona 500.

Well, that's about it for now, until next time, take care.
