June 27th Ehrenburg, Az

 June 27th Ehrenburg, Az

Decided to break up the trip to San Diego with a stop in Ehrenburg, Az. at the Palms at River Edge RV park.  So when we arrived in Ehrenburg the temperature was a balmy 114F.  After plugging in at our rv spot we found that the house air conditioner would shut off after running for a minute.  Later we learned this was due to low voltage.  This was a learning experience!  Our rv has a heat pump and the compressor is sensitive to line voltage.  We quickly moved to a local Best Western motel for the night.  Life is full of learning opportunities!  I will know in the future to get out my voltmeter right away when the ac complains. We would then just change rv spots.

July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD

 July 5th, Badlands National Park, Interior, SD Did a relative straight route east from Ten Sleep to the Badlands National Park.  Stayed at the Badlands Interior RV Park.  The drive was very interesting from Ten Sleep to Buffalo, WY as we drove west on route 16 through a very scenic mountain gorge of the Bighorn National Forest.  It looks like a great place to camp if you are ok boondocking(no electric or water).  The views are great and it looks like a great place for mountain climbers.  After Buffalo, it was a straight shot on I-90 to the route 240 exit for the Badlands and the badlands Interior Campground.  That night we had the most intense rain and wind storm so far this trip.  Seems like the winds are very powerful out in the western territories. The next morning we took a short drive into the Badlands and saw some impressive landscapes. Our route east on State route 16 and I-90 from Ten Sleep to the Badlands Zoom view of the Bighorn Gorge e...

 June 20th &21st, Desert View Grand Canyon East We reserved a campsite at Desert View campground for two nights.  It was a boondock with no water or electric hookup.  No problem as my 400 watt solar panels and extra water tank did fine.  The weather was very nice with a balmy 90C in the shade with a nice breeze.
