Ok, so it took us a few months to get the RV and head out of town, but because we got such a late start on November 5th leaving Los Angeles, and of course we didn't take into consideration that there is always a $%@&load of traffic in LA, so our first night was spent somewhere very ugly near the state border (for proof of that see top picture!), and STILL in California! I was beginning to think that this move to North Carolina was NEVER going to happen! And to top it off, the animals were not diggin the RV the way Jeff and I were, so that was a drag. They were fine with it when we were parked for 2 days in Woodland Hills...and even more of a drag was the fact that after our very first night on the road, in the morning we discovered we had a problem with a tire. Luckily for us in the middle of the desert was an RV- WE FIX ANYTHING kind of place where they charged us only $350 for a single tire...this RV traveling was expensive...how did the rednecks do it??? While we were getting the tire fixed, Jeff decided it was time to "unload" (not sure if that is the correct RV jargon for dumping the toilet waste) the loads that were left in the RV by other people who had traveled in the RV before us...I mean, how much waste was there to unload just by us traveling overnight from LA to Barstow??? There was more waste in the kitty litter box, I'm sure. If you have ever seen the movie RV with Robin Williams, you will understand what happened next with Jeff trying to empty the waste tank. And how bizarre that it happened in the desert also! Jeff soon realized that the movie version of getting crapola all over you while trying to clean the waste tank is a very REAL thing...luckily for us, the RV-WE FIX ANYTHING place had a bathroom with running water, so Jeff was able to clean up and off we went, hopefully leaving California 3 days after we left our home in California.
