We arrived home about 2:00 this afternoon. It has been raining and blowing since then. We haven’t unpacked more than the essentials yet. There is always tomorrow.

We traveled 8,417 miles through Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Although only passed two vehicles on the way down, we began to pass more on the return trip and lost count after 20 passed. (The reason was that I became more confident towing the trailer and I learned that keeping it at 60 made the hills easier to get up.) We haven’t totaled other items yet, but will post some of that in coming days.

We need to make a few small repairs on the trailer: a broken refrigerator latch, a leaky wheel well (discovered in the recent rain), and some adjustments on the cupboard doors. However, Picasso survived this cruise in good shape. When the rain ceases we will give our little silver home a good bath.

Posts will continue with some thoughts on our travels and planning for our next trip. We are due to leave in mid-May, so there isn’t time to dawdle.
