We Made It To Nellis

Just a quick note to let everyone know we had a long, mostly boring, mostly uneventful day and are safe, sound and very tired and parked at Nellis AFB for the night.    The only issue was that the automatic trailer brake wasn't working, so Roger had to brake the trailer manually.   Made for some interesting stops.  Gotta get that fixed before we hook up again!

 My only comment on the scenery today is:   When people see the desert why do they feel free to throw their trash out the window?   There used to be a bumper sticker "Nevada is not a wasteland" when there was talk about dumping nuclear waste here.  I think it is still appropriate, although, judging by what we saw today in the way of trash, people do think it is a wasteland.  So sad.  

We were up and out early - about 9am.  Probably could have gotten away 15 or 20 mintues early, but neighbors came out to wish us a safe journey and promises to see us next winter.  David came down to say goodbye and get Maggie kisses.  She was already in the truck ready to go, but when she heard him she wanted out and jumped up into his lap and gave him lots of love.   She is so taken with him and no one else and it is so weird to see.  She rarely reacts to us the way she does to him.  Maybe they were together in their previous lives???  

I'm defrosting the freezer as I write.  We've already filled tote bags with stuff that's going home with us and loaded them into the truck.  We shouldn't have much to do in the morning.  The office opens at 8am so we will be ready to put the RV into storage and then point the nose of Big Blue north towards home.
