9/17/10 Friday...on the road

RV mileage: 16,650
Said goodby to friends, locked up the house at 4:30 pm and started into town for wiper blades and dinner with our son Tim before getting on the road to Anchorage. The RV packed to the gills, every possible space taken up with some necessity or treasure we had to keep. Shucks hardware had no wiper blades to fit, so let’s have dinner. Transferred title to our truck we sold to our son, and started down the road only to realize that we did not have low beams, only high beam headlights. So, the search begins to find a mechanic who can fix the headlights, in Soldotna, Alaska at 6:30 on a Friday night. There’s no one. We pulled the rig back into the driveway at the house and stayed our first night in our driveway! Our Pom, Gracie, finally got the message that she can no longer sleep on our bed. There was absolutely no space left for her steps so she was delegated to sleeping on the floor, with our other Pom, Maggie. Before getting ready for bed I found my camera in a bowl of water in the sink. Apparently I left it on the counter after taking photos and while moving, it slid off the counter into the sink. Good start so far!
