Goodbye September - Hello Fall!



 




Just like that!..... Or that's the way it seems anyway. Our September was jam packed with travel and business...travel from Montana to Indiana...from Indiana to Colorado and on to Arizona. The business was getting our new home on wheels tended to in Indiana, at the factory where it was made and also the paint factory where it was originally painted. After 13 days we had most of the issues taken care of and learned a whole lot as to how these coaches are built from the ground up. We will be returning to Indiana in the spring to have more things done and a portion of our coach repainted. They have all been very good to us and I don't dread going back there.







While we were waiting around for them to do things to our coach during the day, we took some side trips. One to the shores of Lake Michigan and the day we picked to do that it was raining and windy, causing the waves to crash up on the beach.






We left Elkhart on the run. DH was invited to participate in an annual Trap Shoot/Golf tourney with his older brother in Wray Colorado and we didn't have any days to spare! We stopped off in Nebraska just overnight to drop off some things that we've been toting around and unneeded.



 We spent the weekend parked at the Fairgrounds at Yuma Colorado and DH got to see his brother, one sister and brother in law. It was great weather for their tournament and a good time was had by all when we met for breakfast on Sunday in Yuma. The visit was too short, and they all had to get on back to work.   We continued on to Colorado Springs for a few days, where he played golf with a friend of ours at the Famous Broadmoor Golf Club, the site of many pro Golf Tournaments. The second morning there we woke up to Revoli from Fort Carson just across the road and Snow on Pikes Peak! After three days, the weather threatening rain and storms, we bolted to the south, stopping in Albuquerque for an overnight then on to Williams Arizona. I'm so glad that our plans are written in Jello! The plan was to be at our Winter home the 1st of October, but the weather this year is making my job difficult! It is 108 there today and the triple digits of this week caused me to call and postpone our arrival. We are now going to check in there on the 9th and hope it's 10 degrees or so cooler by then. This is a quiet little park here in Williams, the daytime high today is set for 79 and the nights in the low 40s. We drove into Flagstaff and explored a bit on Sunday and DH hit the local golf course here today.Saturdays are for watching a little "Husker Football" and we are enjoying the slow pace and mild temps here after a whirlwind busy month.
