Here we are again,
Getting to Bishop was very uneventful.The scenery was great and the weather was warm.Once in the campground every thing was good.
The boys discovered fish in a canal that runs right in front of of the camp.That's were B spent most of his time, trying to catch them by hand.
We needed to get our laundry done,cause we were running out of clothes.Laundry done [10:30pm] we went to bed in prep. for our run to DEATH VALLEY.
I checked the weather there and found it to be rather warm[113]slight change of plans.I start checking the maps and weather on line.Avoid DEATH VALLEY at all costs.
We decided to stay in Bishop one more day to get some rest and relax.
We changed our route alot. instead of going straight south, we decided to go north and east.Next stop ELY, NV.
While breaking camp and getting everything ready to leave ,we discover we have no coach power. This is not a good thing.[I've done it before],no steps to get out of mohome,no water,no refer.and no generator to cool mohome. This is not good.After talking to our neighbor I remember "THE SWITCH" it runs it all.I check, and somehow it was turned off.HOORAY.
Switch fixed we start our camp breakdown.[Dump holding tanks,fill water,check all compartments,then under the hood.oil and water.]D fills the radiator overflow and it's leaking out faster then going in.I know there's no place to get the part we need.I bought some Gorilla GLUE ,because everyone said it would fix anything..Guess what!It did. this was not a small hole,this was a 3 or 4 in. break in the side of the tank.With the help of the glue and some gray tape,we're doing fine. I just hope it holds.
Today we start south to HOOVER DAM.I think we'll take 2 days to get there.
Oh , I almost forgot one of the most important things.D drove the mohome for the first yesterday. He did a great job.he drove for about 40 miles . That's a big deal for any driver, let alone a new one.

One more i almost forgot. We've been on alot of "open range".The boys got to see first what that is.We had cows and calves all over the road.
Well that's about it for today.Take care.

Congrats to D on his first piloting experience! Hopefully, things will cool off for you now. They've definitely cooled off here.
Smooches to all.
