We flew back from London on July 15th, with stops in Cincinnati and Memphis before landing in sunny and hot Phoenix.
In Phoenix we were greeted by over 105 degrees in the coach, we turned on the rear AC closing off the bedroom and slept well. We only stayed two days in Phoenix as there is something wrong with our roof top front AC unit-the kicks the breaker after about 2 hours of running. Not good!! We also ended up getting a new battery for the Explorer as it was dead. A fellow RVer in the park had a battery charger with a starting setting to start it, then drove to Wal-Mart for a new one.
Our plan was to get to where it is cooler. Our first night out was in Utah and then onto to Nampa Idaho. We found a service center that we hoped could repair our AC unit and also the frig was not working too well on LPG. We waited two days for an appointment and they said the pressure was low on the LPG line so they adjusted that, but could not fix the AC as they had no one in the Boise Valley who could tap into a sealed system to recharge it, but we could replace it. We said OK, but were called the next morning saying they could not find a unit and there were at least two weeks out before they could get one. So off we go heading towards Baker City, OR, and it was cooler there, it was glorious! Every afternoon a breeze would start blowing and cool us off.
While in Baker City, we visited the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center again, we had been there a couple of years ago and I love going there—in fact, I love anything that deals with the Oregon Trail. Outside the center they point out where the wagon trains traveled. So cool. You can see us lurking near the bushes and watching the oxen team go by. (I am wearing a red shirt and taking a photo of the passing wagon.)
I want to post right now one photo from our trip. Can you guess where it was taken?
Stonehenge, you are right. We took a private early morning tour where we could hug the stones (and I did), SO COOL!!!
