Days 19-24 - July 25 -30 to Coyote Valley (Morgan Hill, CA)

 Day 19 - July 25

Hung out with Justin and family. Watched a movie and had take out. Was a wonderful time until I started feeling poorly, like a cold coming on? Hayden had a cold and we figured I caught that. Went to bed after taking a Benedryl as I was having trouble breathing and thought it could also be allergies, although have not have much of that lately.

Day 20 - July 26

Woke up early feeling really poorly and took a test. Sure enough, after being negative and feeling fine for several days, was back in bed. THIS TIME, no Paxlovid as it would do no good this soon after taking it before. 

Had to cancel our annual parking in Henk & Vernon's back yard so we can hang out while Roger and Henk enjoy martinis and Vernon and I gossip. I really miss that.

Once again, Roger had to extend our stay so I didn't have to get out of bed. The second time wasn't quite as bad or as long as the second.

Days 21 & 22 - July 27 & 28

Stayed in bed. Said goodbye to Justin, Audrey, August & Chrissie through the window as they left for their High Sierra Scout trip. They looked so cute all in their Scout uniforms. Wish I took a picture, but I was sick in bed and was not thinking clearly. I so wanted to hug them all, but did not want to make them sick and was relieved that I did not give it to any of them as they all were fully vaxed and healthy. 

For those wondering, Hayden tested negative so what he had really was just a cold and I did not get it from him.

Day 23 - July 29

Roger got take out for me and had dinner and watched a movie with Hayden and Sam, who stayed behind (from the Scout trip) to work. I felt so bad not being there with them, but did not want to spread my germs.

I felt well enough to pack some things up and prepare for the morning departure. Getting ready to hit the road eastward bound, masked and hoping to test negative before we got to Colorado for our third attempt to visit our friends in Superior.


We were in spot 78 (indicated by pink star)

Coyote Valley RV Resort is really nice, except for their laundry room. The same machines were out of order since last year and it was filthy. EVERYTHING else about the park is really nice. The pool is always clean and the main building has a nice store and hang out areas inside and out. The space is level and spacious and not too close to the next space. 



We asked about plugging in and the girl at the front desk said that it was like a "trickle charger" if we plugged in and "wouldn't be worth it." So, we took that as an okay to do it. She was wrong about the trickle charging, btw. It was a 50 amp and we made it to 100% over night. Of course Roger wasn't driving too far while we were in town, but was great the next morning to delay having to stop to charge until we were on the road for a couple of hours.

Our spot was very nice. This photo was taken before the trees matured and shaded the spaces. (grabbed this photo, okay, stole this photo from the website)

Morning of July 30th (Day 24), we were on the road again...

DAY 3 on the way to Little Rock, Arkansas

July 9, 2024 Night 2's Nashville's KOA was just okay. Good thing the AC is on to drown out the traffic noise. Roger said there was hot water but the showers are small plastic stalls. The park is between an open mining pit and a very busy freeway. Also lots of biting bugs, but we have spray for that. Hope this is the worst KOA on this leg of the trip. They are usually much nicer than this one. On the other hand, dinner was lobster tails over raw carrot/zucchini salad. I used our RV induction cooktop and am very pleased with it. Best $99 I have spent in a while. Charging was interesting today. The extreme heat effects range so we stopped 4 times. This was fine because we were drinking lots of water 😊. Let's just say it's nice to be bringing your own bath along with you. Stop1 was Tesla Supercharger at Holiday Inn Express in Dickson, TN. 53% to 90% costing $9.70 and took 20 minutes. Charger was 240kW (fast) Stop2 was Jackson, TN Tesla Supercharger Casey Jones Never saw so...

DAY 1 - HERE WE GO AGAIN

Image
This photo is from our first charger stop at a SHEETZ in Farmville, VA. There were no pull-in bays, so we pulled in sideways, leaving 4 spots still open. It was that or disconnect, which seemed stupid. I should make note of miles and state of charge. Starting tomorrow I will.  It's all so new as we have had the trailer since November 2022, three weeks ago, we traded in our (Tesla) Model 3 for a Model X (SUV) that can pull the trailer. That way we could keep our lovely truck, but not chance another cross country trip with her.  So, there will be lots of charging info as well as camping info in this year's blog. The first leg of the trip had to be cut from 2 weeks to 1, so we are going straight across and (other than tonight) are staying at KOAs all the way through. So the "East to West" leg will be mostly about charging & performance data (re: towing with an "X") and [brief] KOA reviews. As usual, we have 3 parts to our trip. The first is East to West. Th...

Day 32 - Headed HOME

Image
Stayed at Rifrafters in WV  In a beautiful part of WV, used Starlink and plugged in car to get us to Lexington. STOP 1 -  Lexington, VA Charged from 15% to 94% 25 minutes  (fast charger)  $25.74 Had to ask two old cowboys to move their truck that was taking two spaces--one of those stalls was the head-in stall we needed. They were not happy, but they moved. They took two spaces (for their rusty old truck) in another area (I think one was handicap). Another truck parked in charging station and left his ICE truck RUNNING while he ran into the store. I was taking my routine pictures of our rig and he asked, "you want me to get in it?" As though I was photographing HIS dirty ol truck LOL. Yeah, right.  Both incidents left a real hillbilly feel to this particular spot. Geesh. STOP 2 -  Charlottesville, VA Took 30 mins to get from 15% to 80% but it was only $10 for the session Surprising for Charlottesville Someone was parked in head-in stalls and all spaces full...
