We carry a potted plant. Rue to be precise, headed to Crestonia. Can you spot it?

Short version of the itinerary: Mme Awesome and Zeke drive to LV. She boards a flight to the east coast while I drive to ABQ, out rendezvous spot, then a slow trip to Crestonia where we’ll be for a couple of months.

Meanwhile, meaning now, the “house” battery is not charging properly probably from being run down too much and, honestly, it is a car battery after all. And I can’t figure out why the fridge switch doesn’t start it up like the other 3 do for their respective items. For the time being I spliced in some wire so one of the 12v sockets up front can give it juice. Also the water tank cap needs a gasket. Can you tell how I know?

That stuff aside, we’re doing fine, outside of how marvelously hot it is. Way caliente and still nearly 15 degrees shy of what is expected in LV. Whew!!

Some hours later….. wow the heat is phenomenal. To the point where I’m probably off to Flagstaff after the drop off.

Spare tire loosened up by the way. Fine after tightening at a break & glad I checked. Many things.

27 miles from camp we and everyone else on 15 N waited.
