Joe, Sue and Charlie's adventures: Rain and now maybe Snow

I want to go back down South. Seems just like yesterday we were sitting in the desert with our friend in nice 80 degree sun. Now we are home in the rain. We left Cannon Beach yesterday for the trip home. It had started raining in the night. The night before I had Charlie sitting up. He is doing very well with this begging move.

The drive north was just damp. We stopped at a rest stop and had a picnic. In other words lunch. By saying picnic stop, Charlie didn't get excited. Say rest stop and he is ready.

We got home about 2:00 pm. It took about 2 hours to get unloaded. Now I have to wash Snuffy today before putting him back in storage. If you look back to the beginning of this trip you will see a similar picture with the trees covered with nice pretty leaves. Looks a lot like winter around here now.

Reflections...We had a lot of fun in the last 6 weeks. Charlie became a real motor homer. He has come a long was since we got him. 6 months ago he would get sick just getting the car. No we say bye bye car and he can't wait until the door is open. He is so well behaved that he is welcome in everyones home. Baileys get disappointed if we don't bring him.

We visited a lot of friends, played a little golf, swam in a few pools and soaked in a bunch of hot tubs. The motor home had no major problems. We traveled 3329 miles. The fuel we started with was filled last August at $4.30/gallon (ouch). The lowest we paid was 2.29/gallon. Big difference. Mostly the stuff was around 2.75.

Dream for next year is two races. One in Fontuna, California and then Phoenix and PIR. I say dream because business is going to have to get better. So time and Obamma will tel.

I have had a lot of fun doing the blog. I will try and put something up once in a while. I'll end this one with Avo and Codo and Guacamole. I think Guacamole is gone. Everyone have a Merry Christmas. Joe, Sue and Charlie
