We saw the Luxor, N.Y, N.Y. ($15.oo to ride the roller coaster) and the MGM, with lions on display. We then went to M&M World, got to see a movie and 4 floors of stuff any were from $1.oo to $5,000.oo. </div><div>All along the strip there were people handing out cards to get girls sent to you in just minutes, as well as people dressed as pirates, living statues painted silver or gold that will only move for $$$ or doing magic. </div><div>For lunch we tried a Hollywood special PINK's Hot Dog's, famous for there great snap. They had tons of crazy toppings and combinations, we stayed with the theme and tried the Vegas Strip which was 2 hot dogs, mustard, chili, cheese, guacamole, but we left off the jalapenos. Messy but very good and only $7.50 shezzzzz.<br />The Bellagio was the best stop we saw, they have a large out door water show that is timed to music and runs every half hour and every 15 min after 8pm. Inside the lobby is about 300 large glass flowers that hang from the ceiling the size of a small kid. In the atrium they had a larger then life display of a garden with flowers and animals and us looking very small. Then it was off for a dessert snack, and what better place then Jean Philippe Patisserie which has the worlds largest chocolat fountain running through the Bellagio hotel. Hmmm $10.oo cup cakes, $6.50 mini lovelys which look way to good to eat, sorbet, or crepes. We got the $8.50 Exotic crepe which had mango, pineapple, passion fruit compote and a scoop of coconut sorbet. Yummy</div><div>For dinner we went a few blocks over to the Terrible's Casino, we had a coupon for a 2 for 1 $10.oo buffet, even got a free tee shirt. The food was good and had a Hawian, chinese style to it. Played a few dollars today at 2 of the casinos, but lady luck was not there......

It was huge and totally amazing. We stopped at a hotel/casino called "The Hasienda" did alittle gambling, watched a movie about the Hoover Dam, and had $0.99 shrimp cocktails. The cocktails were wonderful and large considering the low price. We learned alot about the building of the Hoover Dam from the movie.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>On our way into the Hoover Dam we had to stop at a security site, they went into the camper and looked around and also looked in our under hatches. Not sure what or maybe who they were looking for. They just told us they would know it when they saw it, guess whatever it was we did not have it. They let us into the dam.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We stopped for the night at a Flying J and today we are off to see the M&M World in Las Vegas. <a href="http://www.mmsworld.com/">http://www.mmsworld.com/</a> We are having alot of fun in our travels, but still miss all the friends we left at home and the ones we have met along the way.

It has been strange during this time to call home and hear about the snow we missed when we have only had sun and a few rain showers. We look forward to returning next winter, for we found 2 thrift stores that had great deals for 50 cents and one dollar.<br />We left around 11am on Tuesday after Airaday finished her last day of work at Sweet Darlene’s. Darla’s last day was a few days before that on Friday. We then headed about 40 miles down the road to Parker, AZ to do some Wal-mart shopping and cash in our casino points at the Blue Water Resort & Casino. We both earned $10.oo and used that money to go and see the movie “Training Your Dragon” at the casino theatre.<br />On Wednesday we went 50 miles down the road to Needles, CA to the Rainbo Beach Resort. This park is right on the Colorado River and has a pool and hot tub as well as a beach and boat dock. From what we are told they are quite the happening place in a few weeks and they claim to have a very nice $6.oo Prime Rib dinner on the weekends. We found this place because a good friend from our RVW camping group is just next door in another park. Today she came and got us and took us down the road about 20 miles to Avi Casino for they have a ½ roasted chicken dinner with beans, corn, soup or salad and pie for only $5.95…Yummy<br />On Thursday April 1st we head for the Hoover Dam and Las Vegas, NV.<br />The winds are picking up and a storm is brewing, so wish us luck going over the mountains.</div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-29332733599257064732010-03-16T18:16:00.003-04:002010-03-16T18:41:25.776-04:00It has been awhile, but we are still alive<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvUeLlOeOckQhAWzlTs3mECT2KhE4Am2UeA1zP9pma95onSqDb1MCZKG8hDNM1eFHLiWyaojdgQl3aDPyKfpnJ429F9gwzA9LtzMSFHp-d0qQ9CIdhjFfVMk6fcwH7WrbaqXDQC-VNlQ/s1600-h/SJ10+031.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449365417170096690" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvUeLlOeOckQhAWzlTs3mECT2KhE4Am2UeA1zP9pma95onSqDb1MCZKG8hDNM1eFHLiWyaojdgQl3aDPyKfpnJ429F9gwzA9LtzMSFHp-d0qQ9CIdhjFfVMk6fcwH7WrbaqXDQC-VNlQ/s320/SJ10+031.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwyrohcNC7W6k6vD_NwalOYLm7_tTb-7E6HZSyyGkZxDpCp5N3gcbTPi2YIeP7A2l3Ih8omM65kD3G-EFdQbdTjnSyzjP7aXAYOHK8oYKo46rKU36OPDdxFGXeQcHrjSKo8bZck89YGQY/s1600-h/SJ10+023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449365044620859090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwyrohcNC7W6k6vD_NwalOYLm7_tTb-7E6HZSyyGkZxDpCp5N3gcbTPi2YIeP7A2l3Ih8omM65kD3G-EFdQbdTjnSyzjP7aXAYOHK8oYKo46rKU36OPDdxFGXeQcHrjSKo8bZck89YGQY/s320/SJ10+023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9G_HMEbpMPJCtAnZOe0fnD-IHiUjXdghb1iEcErRCgPST4sm_S9hk0Jqolw7spPrNRFFzveFjdPrR0hUlTMLw5ZeEeCjllI_6sezQ6XVjkTtP_8dZ9aODc7TyxbHLG84FllABWPhB0CY/s1600-h/SJ10+020.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449365036251051090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9G_HMEbpMPJCtAnZOe0fnD-IHiUjXdghb1iEcErRCgPST4sm_S9hk0Jqolw7spPrNRFFzveFjdPrR0hUlTMLw5ZeEeCjllI_6sezQ6XVjkTtP_8dZ9aODc7TyxbHLG84FllABWPhB0CY/s320/SJ10+020.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbg89LXQmifbQHR5gsK1dP1I0LHMbAktfVbzgH7kVMNAatrxG0SBIZHKEGfN6JbB-UfDK_6omMi-VpuRIFgooFO-jl5yEaUA16Hosz5zy9ZBnTKbPS0LH2lxbA-3zvdSA9p9iSsaxlEo8/s1600-h/SJ10+014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449365025107777090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbg89LXQmifbQHR5gsK1dP1I0LHMbAktfVbzgH7kVMNAatrxG0SBIZHKEGfN6JbB-UfDK_6omMi-VpuRIFgooFO-jl5yEaUA16Hosz5zy9ZBnTKbPS0LH2lxbA-3zvdSA9p9iSsaxlEo8/s320/SJ10+014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTLpEvnzDzUCRtV2M1vFwwnUdrNtPEsi8iAZUfQuCiIY51piTlqa2PzFl7kKcpLoIJYV6KnnNMKzkCmRTRADFagKxiaDf9zbgLZbKjQd6lyDY9ptW2b_caB9zb9pnzO-VpRLvQay_b9bw/s1600-h/SJ10+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449365019250063298" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTLpEvnzDzUCRtV2M1vFwwnUdrNtPEsi8iAZUfQuCiIY51piTlqa2PzFl7kKcpLoIJYV6KnnNMKzkCmRTRADFagKxiaDf9zbgLZbKjQd6lyDY9ptW2b_caB9zb9pnzO-VpRLvQay_b9bw/s320/SJ10+012.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyI8T8KsHOSBJo7y1enCNs6mupJEboPECetz3plWK0Z1BRFYan2BZ8zC9LaqvUfRS-YfX00e2zaZX4ToRHKH61gIsCQvA8d-Whb0yrsbiwhxUMOosewBfVvtX1HZ5ZkWyPzbS22ZpZt0k/s1600-h/SJ10+005.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449365007836505202" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyI8T8KsHOSBJo7y1enCNs6mupJEboPECetz3plWK0Z1BRFYan2BZ8zC9LaqvUfRS-YfX00e2zaZX4ToRHKH61gIsCQvA8d-Whb0yrsbiwhxUMOosewBfVvtX1HZ5ZkWyPzbS22ZpZt0k/s320/SJ10+005.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>It has been awhile since we last updated our blog, but we are still alive. We have just been very busy with work and our time in Quartzsite. On March 12 th we went to a hot springs to celebrate Darla's birthday. We have both been working at Sweet Darlene's restaurant. It has been very interesting to say the least. There is a great bakery here in Quartzsite, it is the Quartzsite Bakery, they have the best doughnuts, pastries and coconut macaroons. In two weeks we will be on the move again. We are going to Aspen and Denver Colorado then to South Dakota. After that we will be headed back home to Sherman NY and our camp family. We miss all of them, we are here in 80 degree weather and when we call home they always seem to be in a middle of snow. I guess all their snow is starting to melt though. We hope it is all gone by the time we get there in mid April, or at least by the time we have to drive over the mountains.</div></div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-46350750893095856012010-01-23T17:58:00.003-05:002010-01-23T18:16:17.081-05:00Hanging out at Quartzsite, AZ at the Big RV Show<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWjOtVYIpXif4eoxfKvdEj6sV-aGZ5nk33JBNEuOd9BjlmW1AbKxTINX3D70lia28LZwlMFX7yJegMOOkeTb7XouiOTnvEXsa_H0i5J88xwncnsGSApp6yDIagpVysAA9I-flSLXJc7lM/s1600-h/100_1583.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430077766947377170" style="FLOAT: left;

We stayed at Casa Del Sol for 4 days, to get acquainted with the town and get the camper charged up and ready to dry camp in the desert with our RVW friends. We went site seeing and stopped at Reader’s Oasis Books and met the owner, who gave us a small concert on the piano. He can be found at the bookstore everyday, and wears nothing but a thong most days. On the days he has more then that on, it is just a jacket. He has over 80,000 books and knows them all. Airaday found a job at Sweet Darlene’s Restaurant, cooking eggs 5am-2pm.<br />On the 19th we headed out to the desert, at Road Runner Mile Marker 99 BLM long term land. We met all kinds of really nice women, who are members of RVW. The weather was rainy and on Thursday night the 21st a storm came through with 70mph winds. We survived the storm, but a few of the other campers had small problems. Airaday and I used the opportunity to help people out and make some more friends. It turned into a nice bonding experience, but a few pulled out early because the storm was too much for them. On Friday night we went out with some of the girls to a fish fry. There was no seating left inside the building, so we were sat in a make shift tent that had live music. I think we got the better deal; we had entertainment while we ate. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-32177584652994496222010-01-13T22:07:00.002-05:002010-01-13T22:26:22.432-05:00Resting in Phoenix AZ<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgurUjrG99R1kmkc2QzM0I1oErfeuxcQjExMsPFIil7T7VRoHVNj9AH1SUOjgSG6dRD8Fw3A1t8vjtidKdCYZaogKGMZ_b8ABbpAp5ip6eLqaUNkmnZWN3GMFLoSHOlOh2HgC46DCAyTdk/s1600-h/100_1550.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426431226709222338" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgurUjrG99R1kmkc2QzM0I1oErfeuxcQjExMsPFIil7T7VRoHVNj9AH1SUOjgSG6dRD8Fw3A1t8vjtidKdCYZaogKGMZ_b8ABbpAp5ip6eLqaUNkmnZWN3GMFLoSHOlOh2HgC46DCAyTdk/s320/100_1550.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtwYJuklhG_nwZ_k0ycqwAwpAtoccExKwFNEij-J2wqV_FxcVF3qRDRyZMJCKsUdg-GFakBFbR_dyE2w4FdioGsyUX-vuhgzU5wtrwbBjdmFEXAzju2r1tpZhpRLCWwcP8v5weJUfrWN8/s1600-h/100_1545.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426431211994255042" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtwYJuklhG_nwZ_k0ycqwAwpAtoccExKwFNEij-J2wqV_FxcVF3qRDRyZMJCKsUdg-GFakBFbR_dyE2w4FdioGsyUX-vuhgzU5wtrwbBjdmFEXAzju2r1tpZhpRLCWwcP8v5weJUfrWN8/s320/100_1545.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_dGneurrNjCND4cJCPrOEVvqfoBS_A_SOivJQuOyzxoJnw-mcPwph79EpG36PbOHLOGeaF1uSbwMXrhgFNacDlXqqtH6zhNv2hyphenhyphenbJpVHY-amGBfu4KELJZ7J7nkar0y8HsLXGiuv28fA/s1600-h/100_1549.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426431195737433874" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_dGneurrNjCND4cJCPrOEVvqfoBS_A_SOivJQuOyzxoJnw-mcPwph79EpG36PbOHLOGeaF1uSbwMXrhgFNacDlXqqtH6zhNv2hyphenhyphenbJpVHY-amGBfu4KELJZ7J7nkar0y8HsLXGiuv28fA/s320/100_1549.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3takePFYvv6xJw77F05laNClK8AzEBMKWRITO5YQ2lk2FVEA5e1y-pCLIAmZLZlw15GiiDaVo9oJueNCwCrjBs1ErztbYenFNAad8-ZqGi4oh012K7G4DartabPtAAyxL-9nvr2deKDk/s1600-h/100_1544.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426431140469548386" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3takePFYvv6xJw77F05laNClK8AzEBMKWRITO5YQ2lk2FVEA5e1y-pCLIAmZLZlw15GiiDaVo9oJueNCwCrjBs1ErztbYenFNAad8-ZqGi4oh012K7G4DartabPtAAyxL-9nvr2deKDk/s320/100_1544.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We are staying 2 nights in Phoenix AZ at Covered Wagon RV Park. We are getting the camper, and ourselves, ready for Quartzsite. We did some shopping, cooking, and much needed cleaning to the camper. It is beautiful weather here, it is 8:10pm Wed. Jan. 13th and it is 66 degrees. The park is small, downtown, older hookups, and they charge to take showers. We are glad we have a shower in our camper. They have a pool that is open year round, but the water seems a little chilly. The price is good though, all the other parks around the area are $10-$15 higher. Plus we have a beautiful sunset and oranges growing next to us. *** We will try to post more often, but Quartzsite is dry camping, no electric and maybe no internet.</div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-88203720015596200882010-01-13T20:47:00.003-05:002010-01-13T21:55:01.250-05:00Pictures from the Grand Canyon<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyvtJH22Slmrxm_ClrL_RRYwsmOxWCFUc1unOpQzIbu0iTO2xyi3Hc8d1CpitvdD1lnfiI5lePH4hn753PapA3ww321SChCrtb-gQwEGZ3P7gFO7Ba8kOrlG0hQT1Tc7hK9YV_Mh0pYRE/s1600-h/100_1488.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5426423179158791218" style="FLOAT: left;

It is very warm and we both have short sleeves on.<br />We left the Grand Canyon today. We had loads of fun while we were there. We stayed at Camper Village for two nights (Which is a full hook up site for $32 a night plus $2 a person over one), then at Mather Campground last night (Which is a dry hookup site for $15 a night).<br />The view from all the lookouts and areas around the rim were spectacular. We did not go hiking due to all the snow and ice on the trails, but we saw several people who were brave enough to get some hiking in. We took a lot of pictures, but nothing does it justice other then seeing it in person. Did not see anyone riding mules down the trails, but we did see 2 rangers getting mules ready to go down the canyon to check trails and pack in supplies for the ranger station at the bottom of the canyon.<br />We meet some people who work at the various lodges and restaurants at Grand Canyon. They work through Xanterra, so we stopped off at their human resource building and got applications. They also run the lodges in other national parks, so we can apply online with them to work at our choice of parks. We told them we would be available next winter, if they need any help.<br />The prices for groceries and daily living were very steep. Bananas were 89 cents a pound. People who work at the bottom of the Grand Canyon at Phantom Ranch have to hike down to go to work and back up when they are done. The rangers work one week on and one week off. The ranger we talked to said she thought that Xanterra employees work a 12 day stretch and then get 4 days off. The rangers also get to have there stuff take down by special mules. The workers at Phantom Ranch must hike in all there stuff or use a $65.00 duffel service, which is also available to the guest. Guess we will have to work up top for a few years, at least this is what Airaday thinks….lol</div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-48819352301279720942010-01-13T20:31:00.001-05:002010-01-13T20:38:56.194-05:00On the move-Grand Canyon for 3 days, 4 nightsWe headed towards the Grand Canyon, off exit 195 in Flagstaff on Route I-180 the scenic way. You can go into Williams and take I-64, which joins up with I-180 about half way there.<br />As we got closer to the park we decided to get the National Parks and Federal Lands Pass. That way instead of paying $25 to just get into the Grand Canyon and then paying to get into other national parks later, we paid $80 and can get into any national or federal park and stay at any BLM land for a whole year. They have over 390 parks that participate in this pass, so it will pay for it self in time.<br />We are camped at Trailer Village inside the park, and will be staying 2 nights and using the free shuttle to get around. They have full hook ups, which is nice for we can run the heater and the electric blanket tonight. I see some snow, yet not as much as our dear family back east seems to have right now.Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-293928996845483172010-01-12T00:28:00.004-05:002010-01-12T00:36:08.092-05:00On the move -- More free petrified wood<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqjd7HKlrh7JG0q_s3Wg8v2_4tFS4y9c0eYbqoQRm0zhPMqdZML_iYJzETkBQ57hRHxfPSMm3UU3N5Sx8kUzUA9t814OxXR5ZdyRxPkn2WZXXvnMo9-eLd3rwMFMtPxipHsa8Sscn9jIY/s1600-h/100_1353.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425722494781503890" style="FLOAT: right;

We even got to pick our own piece. We actually picked out a piece that was a little over a pound and a half, so we just paid for a pound of it. We could have chosen many smaller pieces to total a half pound, but the piece that called to us was a pound and a half. There store has many wonderful pieces on display, with prices to match. Got to see “Wild Bill” the 2-600 million year old fossil alligator as well as many other fossils. There is an indoor cactus garden and petrified water fountain that had a few fish and turtles in it. </div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-82279203511182116242010-01-12T00:20:00.005-05:002010-01-12T00:26:56.892-05:00On the move -- Shopping for lawn ornaments<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2dFRPlhbAldH2It7LRCo9wg8yowmOF-5TUz4GjZWzeMng_lo3v43YHZbLaXEAvP4O44s2cn0CKE7h402DM1yoa-HwL7HGpK9TEaWNJk6i1dFbgMUJESFjLOvu-0Szb-3TWt5iZsQN46c/s1600-h/100_1329.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425719942086597186" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2dFRPlhbAldH2It7LRCo9wg8yowmOF-5TUz4GjZWzeMng_lo3v43YHZbLaXEAvP4O44s2cn0CKE7h402DM1yoa-HwL7HGpK9TEaWNJk6i1dFbgMUJESFjLOvu-0Szb-3TWt5iZsQN46c/s320/100_1329.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGgi3k9MGoOn6qX8Ug8nmhe62VcKDL80aZkvqWr1cHX-AHVY5_ixRl-VZ4nyKnt2a0YoWqMAT8jQpSO4iypeE6d9_57eZ1avUtlYfWT2zjHLq9JrOtgjgbNVYRBdsD-rOdkI8nhIbEyYc/s1600-h/100_1326.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425719658031198178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGgi3k9MGoOn6qX8Ug8nmhe62VcKDL80aZkvqWr1cHX-AHVY5_ixRl-VZ4nyKnt2a0YoWqMAT8jQpSO4iypeE6d9_57eZ1avUtlYfWT2zjHLq9JrOtgjgbNVYRBdsD-rOdkI8nhIbEyYc/s320/100_1326.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdB2eqA9t6y3uJfsKhFcQkafAykxg3G9gTZTxyHtZckoULC8Y1wvS-5Gy3qHJ6uJWU3EQwEH-ftOGaLhYfM-VdP-lJGSVBxVw3ahhJRaX-U0jmbdAu-YAoJl-pc5M9UcvWEUriDMdjR38/s1600-h/100_1323.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425719655064978418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdB2eqA9t6y3uJfsKhFcQkafAykxg3G9gTZTxyHtZckoULC8Y1wvS-5Gy3qHJ6uJWU3EQwEH-ftOGaLhYfM-VdP-lJGSVBxVw3ahhJRaX-U0jmbdAu-YAoJl-pc5M9UcvWEUriDMdjR38/s320/100_1323.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSCsPh3EdEfxSwwnCzPth5rip7n48xhe58hh45RU2dk1LLh1P_hnLc8o_nylt3SY03Sv8aOs5QnPUoU2jrg2pTLrjhTEIKdRMEcrKCUeG8TArYJFUPDnvgFqcHH59b5tQGVRZh4V4kX8g/s1600-h/100_1322.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425719645732504914" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSCsPh3EdEfxSwwnCzPth5rip7n48xhe58hh45RU2dk1LLh1P_hnLc8o_nylt3SY03Sv8aOs5QnPUoU2jrg2pTLrjhTEIKdRMEcrKCUeG8TArYJFUPDnvgFqcHH59b5tQGVRZh4V4kX8g/s320/100_1322.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWUcqzGGZqAM2w3gKYmnQ7RF04FMN3DHfiP41qzdt_TivodUZw9cLxToTFfE6UGWoFr7zuhxfuR0SIdnMob7mgT3KsMkzVhrkYLc1PtraA3m_1HVsR1SWnHtn3o0uQjivGfm6A7WW0LYg/s1600-h/100_1316.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425719640393367682" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWUcqzGGZqAM2w3gKYmnQ7RF04FMN3DHfiP41qzdt_TivodUZw9cLxToTFfE6UGWoFr7zuhxfuR0SIdnMob7mgT3KsMkzVhrkYLc1PtraA3m_1HVsR1SWnHtn3o0uQjivGfm6A7WW0LYg/s320/100_1316.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAi_R1WkGOy7ZGalNB6zzM5RO4ZEp9F2X3qh-jPTSUqyuYVZ_0_BBX3ivcYUzU89ICc_EVRJ3Bla6bnImyBrYm2ccnyTk0L4338ai1IbqgA2yfjsR0q9jPVCDYmuNyRtYZSGvX-CqaHVQ/s1600-h/100_1314.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425719629223084482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAi_R1WkGOy7ZGalNB6zzM5RO4ZEp9F2X3qh-jPTSUqyuYVZ_0_BBX3ivcYUzU89ICc_EVRJ3Bla6bnImyBrYm2ccnyTk0L4338ai1IbqgA2yfjsR0q9jPVCDYmuNyRtYZSGvX-CqaHVQ/s320/100_1314.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We stopped off at exit 303 at Stewart’s to receive our free small piece of polished petrified wood the size of a pinto bean and a post card, the guy was nice and ended up giving us 2 more.

Decide not to take the driving tour since it was cold and when you stop to see things you must stay on the paths and walk a ways to the displays. Will try and come back this way when it is warmer. Found out that you can get a Park Pass and will be good in all NPS, so if we do that it will wave the $15.00 fee.</div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-19507463772581771782010-01-12T00:11:00.001-05:002010-01-12T00:13:21.862-05:00On the move -- Bumpy road and MudWe then decided to get off I-40 and stop off and try to see the Wild Wolf Sanctuary off exit 81. We were on Route 53, crossed the Continental Divide (Elevation 7882), BIA125 and then turned off on a gravel and mud road, BIA120. When we got there the camping sites were muddy narrow lanes that our RV would get stuck on. We drove up to the entrance and Darla thought it might be best to leave and not spend $10.00 to dry camp over night. She was afraid if the weather turned bad, we might have even a rougher time getting back to I-40. (This is a place to see in the summer, NOT winter and maybe camping some where else and taking a car in.) So after driving all that way we left with only seeing the wolves from a distance and did not get a chance to take any photos. We drove back down the bumpy back roads, and took the loop to Gallup and spent the night in a mall parking lot. We woke in the morning to a very cold camper. Even the dogs were shivering. The temp was 22 degrees and the water in the dog dish had frozen.Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-33702656520159579542010-01-11T23:58:00.002-05:002010-01-12T00:10:55.765-05:00On the move -- Two Casino -- Zero $$$<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPIbvVr-zDGhZ87ocnsuz7oOSUfNWl7Sp9vAWPUTy4fnZXgsMa8DIgeYZmUra428NHyZLlIKT2luGQUMRxRNI8NM66ESSvReaBUA0VjyRYPmOIHrYS4qFXOEboT36XU5XOioNj6y_lFk8/s1600-h/100_1302.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425715741729728210" style="FLOAT: right;

At the Route 66 Casino we signed up for players club cards. They gave each of us a duffel bag with their logo as a gift for signing up. This was a great place to stop because they had all kinds of Route 66 decor and slots with the logo all around. There was a movie theater, night club, hotel, many restaurants and flashing lights to get your attention as well as a full service walk up hot and cold drink station in every corner. We both donated money to the casino.<br />At Dancing Eagle Casino we went to sign up for players club cards. We saw duffel bags there and thought maybe we would end up with getting them as a gift, but you had to of already signed up and used the coupon they send you. Darla signed up anyway; her gifts were a pen and case with the casino’s logo and a card for $10 free gas. There gas was $2.79 gal which only gave us 3.572 gallons and we had just got gas at the Flying J a few miles back. We donated money at this casino too. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-51954046264187674482010-01-11T23:50:00.002-05:002010-01-11T23:58:03.338-05:00On the move -- Texas to New Mexico<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ9JgxFUXeFltg5r02x04AuM6A0yNgBP0Bl1UAGh82IAWdoKxXTDciOLdKbzb5Dta0cSCXgQtruXmSc-tfSq1Cdo50bcgMgU39zy2HhELwQXD0p4GyYwhUUvMT-R0ATLOQFe4u7J1VR4Q/s1600-h/100_1274.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425712444511534402" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQ9JgxFUXeFltg5r02x04AuM6A0yNgBP0Bl1UAGh82IAWdoKxXTDciOLdKbzb5Dta0cSCXgQtruXmSc-tfSq1Cdo50bcgMgU39zy2HhELwQXD0p4GyYwhUUvMT-R0ATLOQFe4u7J1VR4Q/s320/100_1274.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgua20xK4hza3LBgTLIpbk6YqF9zQrX4e8ZZeo5IEJQC285Y0RPITrStjF9RfKjKURVcYzOj4W2BevwiYGVVNr-Nz9KrKiEvx1Q5ZCqOK3EyfyaBsr3LqqRG7BEqObMTFeoYdEEfpBM__g/s1600-h/100_1273.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425712438957429874" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgua20xK4hza3LBgTLIpbk6YqF9zQrX4e8ZZeo5IEJQC285Y0RPITrStjF9RfKjKURVcYzOj4W2BevwiYGVVNr-Nz9KrKiEvx1Q5ZCqOK3EyfyaBsr3LqqRG7BEqObMTFeoYdEEfpBM__g/s320/100_1273.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjZE4GgZMRYxgekbeL4P26S9aAMclB7TP2WVy9kxJlHlcBP1N5Y6i3YvyANNqEp4Z5xR5jpifzDGoMu0-Qvm9UFOkWcArr632-hTi1Hg8MWX4VqyWNxFdBq4-attvHFzIUROmhsw_aii0/s1600-h/100_1270.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425712431109751810" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjZE4GgZMRYxgekbeL4P26S9aAMclB7TP2WVy9kxJlHlcBP1N5Y6i3YvyANNqEp4Z5xR5jpifzDGoMu0-Qvm9UFOkWcArr632-hTi1Hg8MWX4VqyWNxFdBq4-attvHFzIUROmhsw_aii0/s320/100_1270.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkAaly_UPLhEwTbyiOgVLGFJuvrIFSrjIq68b5cw0bVBHk3pD62c71MqNQPYy_co8Rqxeq4b1us3cBvwOhhncGmNzl5W_qZHsCmQJ51F6Plhu7OVHzlAloYU3RzlEp7yEz6STVp7Gs1c/s1600-h/100_1263.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425712419874068322" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimkAaly_UPLhEwTbyiOgVLGFJuvrIFSrjIq68b5cw0bVBHk3pD62c71MqNQPYy_co8Rqxeq4b1us3cBvwOhhncGmNzl5W_qZHsCmQJ51F6Plhu7OVHzlAloYU3RzlEp7yEz6STVp7Gs1c/s320/100_1263.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3DT9zJS0bbk_9LHKwurqdUb317Qda3TPJ2l51wwlN1eTPGzMV-5R1nmOkNsBpEN3OSDe6zQXMLhHBQnG2guDxTdCFg17pNpIrVez5MUnQ-IPBBkFB6sTWHu-er5CbsGmARukA9BpcYE/s1600-h/100_1257.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425712414654639890" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim3DT9zJS0bbk_9LHKwurqdUb317Qda3TPJ2l51wwlN1eTPGzMV-5R1nmOkNsBpEN3OSDe6zQXMLhHBQnG2guDxTdCFg17pNpIrVez5MUnQ-IPBBkFB6sTWHu-er5CbsGmARukA9BpcYE/s320/100_1257.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Jan 6th</div><div>We finally left Texas and entered New Mexico at 2:00pm which then changed to 1:00pm because we are now in Mountain Time Zone and gained an hour. We stopped at the Tourist Center for New Mexico and they gave us tons of Info on what to see on I-40 as well as the rest of the state. They even had a card you could sign up for and get all kinds of discounts through out the state.<br />At exit 275 in Santa Rosa NM on I-40 we stopped at a place called the Blue Hole. It is an underground spring that has a constant Temp of 61* and a Depth of 81ft, Diameter of 60ft and an Outflow of 3000 gal per min. It is used as a training place for Scuba Divers and a very cool place to stop. The water is very clear and you could see down into the hole to the floating buoy markers they had. There are also a few picnic tables and just a down the road is what looks like a park with a water slide that I am sure is very busy in the summer months. There was a building that was under improvements and was closed at the time, so I am sure they had tons of info about the place.<br />Spent the night at Flying J in Albuquerque NM at exit 153.</div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-29490496985437574172010-01-11T23:44:00.002-05:002010-01-11T23:49:37.288-05:00On the move -- Adrian, Texas<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRAoHUwInIpYrg64me8NSIuF4_sYd3BHqCT9FZDDr0UqNwSqOwYxqP1bgVsysmxUAXFbLnN3Yqz3hjIRegBA3t29-_7Wam9FE8kfo4oxskdnUmJidO_fv8-idncB0-pKFjZofzORj51A/s1600-h/100_1255.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425710663949785346" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHRAoHUwInIpYrg64me8NSIuF4_sYd3BHqCT9FZDDr0UqNwSqOwYxqP1bgVsysmxUAXFbLnN3Yqz3hjIRegBA3t29-_7Wam9FE8kfo4oxskdnUmJidO_fv8-idncB0-pKFjZofzORj51A/s320/100_1255.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHK1zeV7Ua_mV0tz4X2VCU_s57KJKJdfViCMXMNQiX5AocseIiE9X_qVC_v5xtqWw6ptC_4uS8PffHYAwa3kZKUPyl9TnnRzfKvGlcmJ3HLEYm_nKMztULDDsh9p4KPd5mUs428WwfLF0/s1600-h/100_1252.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425710656427282402" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHK1zeV7Ua_mV0tz4X2VCU_s57KJKJdfViCMXMNQiX5AocseIiE9X_qVC_v5xtqWw6ptC_4uS8PffHYAwa3kZKUPyl9TnnRzfKvGlcmJ3HLEYm_nKMztULDDsh9p4KPd5mUs428WwfLF0/s320/100_1252.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPpR8cTa6QslO7Aw1-G155yolKMdlDK7y7aW9DjB-vEUugzdiFWPkfLRj1Xl7iOz_nShlDDOl841ilgks7tGCIoxMGlijI4E2nUSK0QnEu9tYxcx1VVSwNqZ5v4XTDDzavqT0Q4iwV1nw/s1600-h/100_1248.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425710649837404018" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPpR8cTa6QslO7Aw1-G155yolKMdlDK7y7aW9DjB-vEUugzdiFWPkfLRj1Xl7iOz_nShlDDOl841ilgks7tGCIoxMGlijI4E2nUSK0QnEu9tYxcx1VVSwNqZ5v4XTDDzavqT0Q4iwV1nw/s320/100_1248.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxY0kusX90-P1phtig7mFbMGubayPJAtmwT-30sXXLzbyxPeVTSCsSqlM2mEIE-4JUtkZgD3Uwgr6eCzqGE8THh4DaYBQNUVhl3oBmInO4XiTRrRE6ysLA2ngBEF5I1asIwYjlsO5laeM/s1600-h/100_1245.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425710641361414962" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxY0kusX90-P1phtig7mFbMGubayPJAtmwT-30sXXLzbyxPeVTSCsSqlM2mEIE-4JUtkZgD3Uwgr6eCzqGE8THh4DaYBQNUVhl3oBmInO4XiTRrRE6ysLA2ngBEF5I1asIwYjlsO5laeM/s320/100_1245.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>At exit 22 on I-40 we stopped at the Mid Point Café on Route 66 which is 1139 miles from Chicago IL and 1139 miles from Los Angles CA. They were closed for a winter break, BUT….. While taking some photos ….. A lady in a golf cart pulled up and wanted to know if we wanted to go in and look around…… WooooHoooo It was the owner Fran. Let me tell you this lady was GREAT, she told us tons of history on the place and all the things that went on when they filmed the TV show “Great American Road Trip”. We even got to see the license plate from the winners the DiSalvatore’s on the wall that they signed and sent them. Fran gave us a free bumper sticker and some papers on the place. If we come back through this way we will have to stop again. She made us hungry talking about the food, plus the place is a must stop if you ask us.</div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-45136835570095415062010-01-11T23:40:00.001-05:002010-01-11T23:43:57.995-05:00We have spent all day in Amarillo TexasWe are taking the RV in on Wed Jan 6th to have alternator work done. The new battery was not working right after only 2 days so Auto Zone replaced it for free with no trouble and just our word, then they helped us get Advanced Auto to give us a refund on their bad battery, since they were NO Help in Wichita Falls TX in refunding our money. Auto Zone also sent us down the road to Grand Battery & Electrical. Where they checked it out for free and found out the alternator is not working properly. Estimate is $96.00 for labor and $76.00 for a new one or $36.00 if it can be repaired. This should solve all the electrical problems, or at least we hope so. We are staying at a Flying J for the night. Watching the movie Hellboy II in the lounge and charging up phones and computer.<br />xxxxxxxxxx<br />Wed Jan 6th -- Cost $173.19 and took an hour but, Grand Battery was able to get us up and running and able to charge our batteries. It seems like we were in Amarillo Texas forever.Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-31393016424859997142010-01-11T23:32:00.002-05:002010-01-11T23:40:09.103-05:00On the Move -- Amarillo Texas<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjevh4m0838wCZoow0PYzIzFS5U8sDx5-axKawFwBBex50oywVYfq8ojTvraeMAUKRGsqGhyphenhyphenoimvE6bhWQQVYHCEuNMeVLj1hQsa1dw4_YfaQPn_LSLSKnC83BSx4tPRgDrjP7-xfaVee4/s1600-h/100_1239.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425707868502273378" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjevh4m0838wCZoow0PYzIzFS5U8sDx5-axKawFwBBex50oywVYfq8ojTvraeMAUKRGsqGhyphenhyphenoimvE6bhWQQVYHCEuNMeVLj1hQsa1dw4_YfaQPn_LSLSKnC83BSx4tPRgDrjP7-xfaVee4/s320/100_1239.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWYvPGOfSpARl073VTOlTEOs75JhUdxRT5VSrn0YNRGFEhQX9tpDhZCjzdjoP3tRzdyA6O5HhmPkUkysOEU-kz2O_3kGFvQJzwSX2yobGbz9-bx3tceICZsAv-rzavZLV59rlZHFWWdI/s1600-h/100_1234.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425707862871970706" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdWYvPGOfSpARl073VTOlTEOs75JhUdxRT5VSrn0YNRGFEhQX9tpDhZCjzdjoP3tRzdyA6O5HhmPkUkysOEU-kz2O_3kGFvQJzwSX2yobGbz9-bx3tceICZsAv-rzavZLV59rlZHFWWdI/s320/100_1234.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEfamRabyhhqkWUur11WZBmpT3QRJ20juZllnWJdS1DgCg07KVKB1xVLw1PoyshKeURyNeywc9nKCMhptZmXAihpjr0QaGhniYpuO8dhntKpEwd_4wVQMIc6Fx_vEh7khanvS5QCxONKY/s1600-h/100_1233.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425707857616500002" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEfamRabyhhqkWUur11WZBmpT3QRJ20juZllnWJdS1DgCg07KVKB1xVLw1PoyshKeURyNeywc9nKCMhptZmXAihpjr0QaGhniYpuO8dhntKpEwd_4wVQMIc6Fx_vEh7khanvS5QCxONKY/s320/100_1233.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSlUFdRuqLapsmjl3Ic7d-_DApp7i11bJhtiv-yBPCKPp8JamJ7tjZOgWEkPZDnknbp_VDpvvfiueIw7FrEo0uW0bxvIqneqJAstCOVEUkN4q_8JG5UVsJrqEJVg-1XZUZWis42co8b7k/s1600-h/100_1230.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425707849587556898" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSlUFdRuqLapsmjl3Ic7d-_DApp7i11bJhtiv-yBPCKPp8JamJ7tjZOgWEkPZDnknbp_VDpvvfiueIw7FrEo0uW0bxvIqneqJAstCOVEUkN4q_8JG5UVsJrqEJVg-1XZUZWis42co8b7k/s320/100_1230.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6SbX2nRnV3PdntRV0F7pCow71eg-2DCWnxry3fIA9B-5u1friQwapkcZQbSylAn79Ph0Moj48EOw1Q0hVzPSWjBNaVzZf8chWf3N37xqm2N4dNVmRDaUfh4ySzMyzkuxgF5u82tIqMU/s1600-h/100_1229.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425707839059440642" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6SbX2nRnV3PdntRV0F7pCow71eg-2DCWnxry3fIA9B-5u1friQwapkcZQbSylAn79Ph0Moj48EOw1Q0hVzPSWjBNaVzZf8chWf3N37xqm2N4dNVmRDaUfh4ySzMyzkuxgF5u82tIqMU/s320/100_1229.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>We stopped at Texan Steakhouse (Tue Jan 5th) and checked out the home of the 72oz. steak challenge. If you can eat a 72oz. steak, baked potato, salad, shrimp appetizer, and roll in an hour or less you get the meal free, name on their hall of fame, and a shirt, if not the cost is $72.00. If you want to split the meal then they charge you $200.00 and give you 8 sides. We took some pictures of the place, and then went back in the morning for their breakfast buffet. It was only $8.95 and had an omelet bar, breakfast burritos, bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy, 4 kinds of fresh fruit, muffins, eggs and fried potatoes. The food was very good and worth the money, their menu is full of steaks hand cut in all kinds of sizes, yet a little pricy for us. They even have rattlesnake on the menu. It is definitely a tourist trap/attraction. They have been on many Food TV shows and worth the stop. They have a gift shop, shooting gallery, and slot machines that give out tokens and even have free limo service from most hotels. </div></div></div></div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-84643001496769482022010-01-04T13:05:00.003-05:002010-01-04T13:09:23.682-05:00Mmmmm HOT CoCo !!!!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7cRFs2TJRLAPRlCIMnxZqYgAVtXLzkIWKhT-aXM8HYLH6pHTwODW07Vd7w764bn5Skuls4JuiQau0bAsW4NUqAMhm1WbbxofqsODyG3X2V1bAxFfUU_OciFLAeotvd5s87-YLoN-imBA/s1600-h/100_1220.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422948327559393698" style="FLOAT: right;

We had repairs done on the camper yesterday, so we are all set for our journey. Got a new battery for the chassis, our second one. The cold and bumpy, snow covered roads of Kansas did in the old one. As soon as we find an Advance Auto we can get our money back on the old one. We also got a new gfi switch for the coach outlets. A big thanks to RV Services Glen Dickey. He charges by the minute so you only pay for the time he works on your rv, and he comes to you. His prices are very resonable too. If in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and need help give him a call. He did not charge us a fee for coming to us because we saw his ad in the Texan RV Ranch brochure and we were camped there.<br /><br />While here in Texas we enjoyed going twice to Six Flags, going out to eat and to the movie Avatar, and just hanging out with John, Mary, Darrell, Brandy, and Kaitlen. Sorry we did not get the chance to meet Veronica, but hope to see them all in May/June for the weddings, if not sooner. We ate at El Fenix, I-Hop, and Colter's BBQ. We would encourage anyone in the area to check them out. Great food and a good price at all three. Now that we have season passes to Six Flags we can go to any of them we encounter along the way. Even upgraded to the parking pass, so parking wil be covered too.<br /><br />Headed towards Arizona now. We hear it is even warmer there.Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-2978134518421755672009-12-29T09:44:00.003-05:002009-12-29T10:03:37.048-05:00Pic's from Kansas to Texas<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCME_SHrPT1fYYjGLcK2ax66QcuR6bAhUhfXxlNl3ZoirOOPaHhtHyCfzWxmK_vygiSu_2omyqa9l6MU_vYaQdAKkjNR2AGNoPPeHrRzKLqv_zaMGu1XRaBEFBHQsfoAzqIsGI6SqsWxU/s1600-h/SJ09+197.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420673265558586306" style="FLOAT: right;

We decided to stop at the Downstream Casino Resort in Quapaw OK. The casino is actually in three states. The parking lot is in Missouri, hotel is in Kansas, and the casino floor is in Oklahoma. Darla won $56.30. Airaday donated money. They have an awesome buffet for $18.95. We would recommend it to anyone who comes through the area. They have RV electric and water hook ups in the truck/RV parking lot. Well, with the weather as cold as it is, it was really only electric hook up.<br />We decided to spend the night and get an early start on Sunday. We then headed to Texas to visit Airaday’s cousin, to spend New Years with them and go to Six Flags.<br />As we traveled through Oklahoma City area we saw much less snow. Things were looking better and warmer the further we went. Along the way we ran into a little electrical problem, the chaise battery was not starting the camper. We had to use the coach batteries to start the vehicle; it appears to be a loose wire. We looked, but found no loose wires. We found a nice gentleman, who is going to come to our camp site in Texas to look at the problem for us.<br />In Davis Oklahoma (exit 51 on I-35) we found the home of the Original Fried Pies. The have 30 flavors, all the fillings are fresh and folded into Nancy’s famous fried pie crust. They have 10 other locations, but we were at the original location. The family tradition of fried pies started in 1893 when grandma made them for ranch hands. They are delicious and a definite must have if in the area. They have fruit filled and ones that are more like a meal. We got a dozen since they have a deal of buy a dozen and get 40 cents of each one. We got chicken and beef that were like fried pot pies, spinach and mushroom, comfort (polish sausage, potatoes, and cheese), pizza, bacon-egg and cheese, apricot, pecan, coconut, blackberry, pineapple, and peach.<br />When we stopped at a gas station along the way, we found a local candy peanut patty. It looked like peanuts in a red colored candy made by Dickies. We gave it a try, it was a little sweeter then we would have liked, but still tasty.<br />We are staying at Texan RV Ranch; it is a very nice place. They have a laundry facility, showers, pool (open all year..brrrr), dog run area (which the dogs really enjoy), little store, and full hook ups. The best thing about the park is….It is in Mansfield TX, Airaday is from Mansfield OH. We found that to be very funny. There is no snow here and the temps run around 50 during the day and 30 at night. They are predicting snow for today (about an inch) but also temp of 40, not sure how it can snow with temps that high, so we will see what we get.<br />We are about 18 miles from the cousins, and 15 miles from Six Flags. We are going today to get season passes and plan on going 3 times while here. They are running a Holiday in the Park event. There will be fireworks on New Years Eve, so we plan on going then for sure.

Since the storm is over we are enjoying the snow (from inside). It looks like we will be heading out for our next adventure tomorow. The roads are looking clear, but there is no sense in taking chances by leaving today. The forecast for the next few days is looking good. </div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3378412538142411485.post-75609511044975586072009-12-24T22:53:00.001-05:002009-12-24T22:56:53.617-05:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyRXh6ZgTfF6QukklUl7oCzR6lxNQ8BSEbGfY9aqOwbeXC3BTLrBIN36IaWwW7Ii8AOjUDOk9NwvikVjsyOzpzAKuMoQIu3tXDtaTgclLvXfEwmWsZMRQ6-3iXRliGMJai0hyphenhyphenCF4O7AvY/s1600-h/VisitedStatesMap.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419017237932758706" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 161px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyRXh6ZgTfF6QukklUl7oCzR6lxNQ8BSEbGfY9aqOwbeXC3BTLrBIN36IaWwW7Ii8AOjUDOk9NwvikVjsyOzpzAKuMoQIu3tXDtaTgclLvXfEwmWsZMRQ6-3iXRliGMJai0hyphenhyphenCF4O7AvY/s320/VisitedStatesMap.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Soaring Journeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14809028294195332614noreply@blogger.com0
