Today we were relegated to one of the onerous tasks associated with full-time RVing. We went to the laundromat and did the wash. Fortunately, the local laundry at the RV facility where we are camped was air conditioned because it was over 100 degrees here in Wahweap Campground at Lake Powell.
Peggy does most of the heavy lifting on laundry days. I mostly just punk the clothes into and out of the laundry, look stupid when she tells me I have put some item into the wrong machine and stuff quarters into the slots. I am also the chairman of rotten clothes folding so Peggy has made it plain that I should leave the finesse parts to her. The laundry here is the least expensive of anyplace we have used on our two year journey. Washers were only $1 and dryers were $.50. They had ample machines and we did not have to wait to use them. After the dreaded laundry task, we popped into Page, AZ, to fill up on diesel because we are off on another adventure tomorrow.
After getting back to the Barbarian Invader, we mostly just drank cold porter and hid inside the air conditioned interior because the temperature when we got home from our errand was 105 and the humidity was negligible. Many of the campers who were left over from the Memorial Day weekend boxed up their stuff, trailered their boats and split.
Once the temperature got down to 90, we ventured outside for some outdoor cooking and stargazing. I could get used to lounging around, cooking on the barbecue and our portable two-burner stove and watching the sunset followed by the dazzling display of stars visible in this torrid place. The scenery is fantastic, the lake is beautiful and the evenings have been very enjoyable. Gotta watch those daytime temperatures, though. It is hotter than Hell here in Lake Powell in June.
There are no pictures today because we were slugs.
