Wild Blue out and on the road...

It was a lovely morning... would have been great cruising weather.  But, noooo, it was time for us to hit the road.  Herb and Wilma were just leaving the pump out dock when we arrived there.  With Wild Blue's potty clean as a whistle, we'll be ready to put her in storage for a week or two.  I pulled her up to one of the ramp docks and finished putting things away while Joan made that long, long walk up the ramp...

Across at the other side of the ramp, Herb was getting in deep to retrieve Willie's Tug...

When Joan came down the ramp, she swung around, put the trailer in the water, I shoved off from the ramp, and drove it up on the trailer.  Easy.  We pulled to the top of the ramp and started moving stuff from the boat to the truck...

We traded hugs and good-byes once again with Herb and Wilma...

Then, hit the road.  It is a pretty drive between Lake Powell and Flagstaff; the road can be a bit whoop-de-do at times, though.  We stopped in Flagstaff to top off fuel and check tires and hubs... all is good.  Joan found us a decent PPA RV park along I-17... $14.50.  They have a diner on the premises for breakfast.  We have satellite TV, good internet, and fresh laundry.

 

As you can see from the gravel in the above photo, we are back in the desert.  Little Izzy is keeping her eye on a roadrunner instead of fish...

 We'll be ready to visit with our daughter and son-in-law starting tomorrow!  Not sure I'll know how to sleep in a rectangle shaped bed. ;-)
