RV'ing is such an adventure, and then some. Today we had a few new ones. First we decided to do a bike ride along the canals with Vaughan. We found the library in Glendale that was our starting off point. However, that was the easiest part of finding our way around. We made many wrong turns while trying to ride the canal trails. Managed to ride several miles and decided to turn back after about 45 minutes. That's when the fun began, again. This time, Vaughan started off by getting a flat tire pretty much about the time we decided to turn back. Not thinking too well, we had Vaughan get off the trail and find an address that we could use with the Garmin to come pick him up. The not thinking part, was not asking Vaughan for his car keys. Yes, we drove both cars to the library! Linda and I got back to our cars, loaded our bikes on our car and set off to find Vaughan. Once we found him, we had to leave Linda behind with Vaughan's bike while I drove Vaughan back to his car. Then it was back to Linda and Vaughan's bike. Kind of like the keystone cops!!!
After leaving Vaughan, Linda and I decided to go to an Urgent Care to have my throat checked out to make sure I was not coming down with Strep. I have been battling a scratchy throat since we drove into the dust storms in New Mexico over a week ago. The good news was, we were within a 1/2 mile of the Urgent Care in the area. $125.63 later and I was told I am clean of Strep, but I should use a "Nettipot" to clean out my sinuses on a regular basis. We get back to the RV, clean up and head out with J&V to Sedona, 2 hours north of Phoenix. More fun begins after about 15 minutes on I-17, we come to a dead halt. It is now close to 99 degrees, in the middle of the desert. Cars, trucks, tractor trailers, RV's all sitting on I-17, engines off waiting to find out what is going on. Some people had CB's and we find out an RV, pulling a trailer flipped over and was blocking the road ahead of us. The authorities had actually shut down the highway several miles behind us. We sat, sweltering in the car for over 1 1/2 hours before the road was cleared and we were again on our way.
The rest of the day went pretty well. We enjoyed walking around Sedona, bought a few items, had dinner and then drove back to the RV. Time to rest up before our next golf game, tomorrow morning at Troon North - Pinnacle course. Whoo Hoo
Here are a couple of pics, still working on the slideshow!
