We got most of the ready-to-roll work done yesterday. What's left is stuff that, by necessity, gets done right before we pull away: patio mats, windshield cover, utility hook-up hoses. The cargo trailer has some empty space... on the way here, there were two extra guitars, an amp, and two 12-channel mixers that rode in the trailer. That stuff sold while we were here.
We will go through the motorhome's cabinets to make sure the contents are secure and won't rattle... and something always rattles or tinks the first day out. (like glasses bumping together)
Some of this won't get put away until we are done with it tomorrow morning. The plan is to get to see Steph and Dan this evening, so we can get in last hugs and say our good-byes.
Sometimes we do side-trips on the way to or from home - we plan to make some miles and head directly home... maybe 4 days instead of a week or more. Mother Nature is giving us a pleasant day here today - cool and breezy to start, but a high of 72º. As we roll east, it looks like we will be in the 90s at some point. No chance to ease into the hot stuff.
Rufus knows something is up - he is on high alert. I took him for a walk this morning, and he was nearly glued to my leg. These furry ones are intuitive.
Looking through my Facebook Memories for the last 10 years, this is the time we were rolling. Not a routine, but we do try to pick the best times to be in a particular place. In the past, this has been a good time to be here in the desert.
The site is looking sparce...
Plenty of rigs rolling out of the park this morning. Our turn tomorrow.

Steph and Dan came to visit after work. This will be the last time we see them for a while. The conversation was good. The hugs were even better.
Until next time.

After we said our good-byes, Joan and I pulled up the patio mats (takes some effort - they are staked down), shook them out, and put them away. In the morning, utilities to put away, check lights, and hit the road.
