7:04 am - Wednesday - October 29th - Newell House, Wittmann, AZ - 59° F, humidity 13% humidity, wind 4 mph out of the northeast.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 89° F. On this date in 2020 TLE and I were enjoying our new outdoor light display, and watching the sunset in Seal Rock, OR....
....Seal Rock, OR is 10 miles south of Newport, OR. One of our favorite workamping jobs ever. Spent a year there.
Tuesday was the final day of our sojourn at Newell House. Basically, all that needed to be done was to put the things we keep in the two engine bays back in their places, then re-organize the trailer interior for VW insertion Wednesday morning, and, finally, drain a week's worth of effluent from our black tank. Tuesday was also the hottest day since we arrived with the temp climbing to 91° F. For us that's hot, but for Tom and Darlene it feels cool compared to the normal 110-115° F during the summer. It's all a matter of perspective. I took care of the engine bays in the morning, and around 4 pm in the afternoon I dumped the black tank leaving just the water, sewer and power to disconnect, and the patio awning to stow first thing Wednesday morning.
I spent the rest of the day reading, while TLE played card games with Darlene. Normally, when we are here I'm working on a large 'to do' list, and am busy all day, every day. This time around it has been more relaxing with just easy maintenance things to get done. We'll be on the road by 8 am Wednesday, hoping to arrive without event at The Wilson Wilderness by early afternoon. Charles and Phyllis will be there to welcome us 'home', and then the work will begin. There are a boatload of winter projects to be started, and completed. As I write it is about 7:24 am Wednesday morning, and all that remains is to disconnect the power cord, and insert the Beetle in the trailer before we 'haul anchor'. I checked the daily temperature at The Wilson Wilderness, and the high is just 75° F today, which is what one might expect at 5,500' elevation.
Thanks for stopping by!
