Today's trip went well. We had trouble getting our stabilizing jacks to come up again, but it was not operator error this time. Dad says he needs to grease them. We hope they come up tomorrow and then we will fix them in Denver. We had more trouble with our braking alarm. It appears there is a bad connection. We stopped once because the red light came on which means the Jeeps' brakes were on while we were driving. We were able to pull off at a gas station, but the Jeep was fine. We will need to figure out where the bad connection is on the brake alarm system when we get to Denver. It worked fine with the other motor home.
There was one funny thing that happened today. We had just pulled out of the campground and we were making a left hand turn to get to the highway. Dad looked in the back up camera and didn't see the Jeep. Mama looked in the camera and said "WHERE'S THE JEEP?" It turns out that Dad had the signal on and that switches the camera to the side view instead of the back view of the motor home. BOL! The Jeep was there, we just couldn't see it.
We saw buffalo today, but no photos as the camera's battery went dead. We could have seen the world's largest prairie dog, but Dad said we didn't have time to stop. They also had rattlesnakes and pigs that you could pet according to the signs. We assume they mean you pet the pigs and not the rattlesnakes. We saw a rattlesnake in our campsite last year and that was close enough for us. There were also signs for a Prairie Dog Town. It may have been the same place. We are not sure. We think Prairie Dog Town would have been fun to visit.
There were two bunnies running around the campground this morning. Scout said maybe it was the Easter Bunny, but I don't think it was.
Our campground here in Kansas is empty except for one other camper and they put us next to them. The place is pretty basic. It is very flat. The place last night was full of hills.
We hope we don't have any typos in our post. We are tired and it looks fine to us. BOL!
Joey,
The Greyhound Who Gained An Hour Today
Extra hour of snoozing! Bonus!!
ReplyDeleteWe are very excited for you and Scout. We hope you don't run into any snakes out there, though. Once Truly found a snake and our Mom screamed and screamed about it! The screaming scared Truly - a lot.
ReplyDeleteBe careful out there, guys!
DON'T PET A SNAKE. I am just saying. I have had a few friends who got to close and it was terrible. Dogual is OK now but sadly our other friend did not make it. MOM makes me get a snake shot every year. It won't make me immune to snake bites but it will buy us extra time to get to a vet. I hope you like Colorado. I like ti there.

Yikes! I just read Goose's comment. Please be careful Joey & Scout. Continued safe travels. You will have lots to tell us when you get to your new home site.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been scared thinking the jeep had fallen off! Did dad say a rood word?! You keep. Well away from those snakes....even us Grey's can't run faster than them!
ReplyDeleteI like being able to turn around and see out the back window. I think driving an RV would take some getting used to. You are like me and my sisters when we were kids. We'd go to sleep in the car and wake up in a totally new place. That's how travel should be done.
ReplyDeleteKeep your eyes open!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a Buffalo before!
I would not want to chase it though. To BIG!

Please stay away from those rattlesnakes; don't even try to sniff them. They are not friendly types at all. We have had first-hand experience, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteHope the last leg of your trip goes smoothly and all the kinks get worked out.
Wishing ya'll safe travels!
