Escaping the gravitational pull of LPG&RVR......

.. 6:15 pm - Sunday - October 9th - Honey Lake Rest Area - 72° F, 23% humidity, wind 8 mph out of the west northwest......partly cloudy with a big view of the eastern horizon....we are dry camping at the Honey Lake Rest Area south of Susanville, CA.......↴

....on this date in 2018 we entered our 48th state in the Newell....Delaware.....↴

As you know from experience, all good things must, of necessity, come to an end, and Sunday, October 9th, 6 months of nothing but good things came to an end for us at LPG&RVR.  Before we dropped the trailer onto the hitch for the first time in 6 months we headed over to the Clubhouse around 9 am to turn in cart #20, and have a farewell breakfast at The Grill.....

I love how the 1/2 and 1/2 sits in the bottom of the cup

.....the views were beautiful, and I noticed the driving range grass has greened up considerably in the past couple of weeks since we had that three days of rain......

A little frost lingering on the putting green

.....after breakfast we headed in to say good by to Kathy, who is the chef of The Grill......she hails from Hungary originally.....TLE and she developed quite a friendship over the past 6 months.....

....we finished around 10 am, and walked home to begin the serious business of preparing to escape the gravitational pull of LPG&RVR.  It took a couple of hours, but we were finally on our way a little after 12 pm, which is cool, because we only planned on traveling around 90 miles south to the Honey Lake Rest Area just south of Susanville, CA to spend the night.  

While we were doing our brake/turn signal check prior to departure we found the left brake/turn signal was not working.  I spent about 30 minutes trouble shooting the problem, but finally decided we would get going and I would fix whatever the problem was when we got to Honey Lake.  The drive south was beautiful, and as I always do I turned to TLE and said "It's good to be moving again" to which she replied "yeah".....

Final pictures of employee row....the leaves are really turning quickly now

....the 90 mile drive was completely without incident, and we arrived at the Rest Area just before 2 pm, at which time I returned to the left brake/turn signal issue.  Within a few minutes I found the problem.....a bad wiring connection, so I took it apart, and redid the connections.......

Never use these blue splicers.....they stink, and will always fail at some point

....within 30 minutes I had fixed the problem, and we now had a left brake light, and left turn signal once again......

All fixed

.....once that was done TLE and I decided to take a 1 mile walk around the Rest Area, which consisted of 3 laps in all......

Our usual post walk 'usie'....lol!

.....I took a a post walk nap, and listened to some music on Sirius/XM radio's Classic Vinyl (channel 26).  TLE  made dinner around 5 pm, and by 6 pm we were seeing a beautiful sunset.....

........we'll continue onto Garderville, NV tomorrow where we will spend a couple of days at the Elks Lodge there before continuing to SoCal, and our winter job.

Thanks for stopping by!
