Pulling Up Stakes...

In the midst of getting-ready-for-the-road chores, I was able to get out and get these image of the fall colors..


We made the drive to Jackson Lake Lodge to turn in our uniforms and IDs... it felt a bit like being drummed out of the cavalry. Easy, though. We came back for our last lunch at the EDR (Employee Dining Room)... not gonna miss that, but it has been convenient. Then back to the coach where we really did pull up stakes - the patio mat has been held in place with stakes; it was the last thing on that side of the coach to get put away. If you look close in the photo below, you can see little Izzy watching Joan check tires on the truck...

After I swept all the pine needles and cones off the roof, Joan pulled in the slides... just to make sure they were still functional. Then, she put them back out again for the night.

While the slide was in, I took the opportunity to put away the water and sewer hoses. We pulled the truck up to the 5th wheel pin to plug in the power connection and checked the lights and brakes. Yep, all working. Then pulled the truck forward to the cargo trailer to check lights. OK.

The branches are all trimmed, so we should have a clear shot at the campground road. We'll have the cargo trailer hooked to the truck before we call it a day. In the morning, we'll move the cargo trailer to the main road, then hook up the 5th wheel and pull it around to the cargo trailer; hook it all together and hit the road.
