I finally got out of Green Valley AZ on May 24th.

After a radiator repair and a water pump we left home
at 3:00 pm,and drove to Quartzsite AZ for the night. Left
about 7:30 and drove to Bishop CA, to meet friends for Mule Days, it was very interesting, we were there for 3 days and left for Reno for a visit with grand kids and my daughters birthday.


So far no problems with the coach, we came the back way up US 395.

Many mountain passes and beautiful scenery when I could relax and look. On the way to Florence OR we also went the back roads to
Susanville to Mt Shasta. Only a red brake coming down the road to
I 5. Brake fluid was low I refilled the master cylinder and have had no more brake problems.

We got to Florence on June 5th great weather no days hotter than the high 60's. Very hot in Southern AZ with temps. well over 100.

I am going to store my GMC in Or.for the winter. Covered for $ 60.00 a month. We will be leaving July 5th for home.

One of my most favorite routes. Next time stop in Lone Pine and check
out the western film museum. Brings back a lot of memories.
