We have completed our trip through the Great Basin for 2016. This morning we left unremarkable Menifee and drove the hour and a half south on I-15 to Pio Pico RV Resort, a Thousand Trails facility. We are TT members so staying there for up to 21 days at a time is free.
We were pretty quick about getting here and setting up so we had the whole afternoon off. We elected to go to see our son and his fiance at our former residence. Sam was there when we got there and it was nice to see him after 10 months away. Another special treat was to see our dogs.
When we left, we had two dogs; Jezebel and Jack. Jezebel is what someone said was a Mexican wolf (do wolves live in Mexico?) and Jack was a Doberman with ears that had not been cropped so he looked like a big bitey hound dog. While we were gone, cancer took Jack. Jezebel was without a companion and did not like it. However, my son and his lady, Kate, rented out one of the rooms at our former residence to a dog owner. Now Jezebel has a companion named Lupin, a abundantly rambunctious lab/shepherd mix who is very sweet. Jezebel and Lupin are buddies except when there is a dispute over which toy belongs to which dog. There is some snapping and snarly sounds when disputes arise but other than that, the dogs get along fine.
It is nice to be back in my home town for a bit. Our daughter is coming from Washington on the 8th of October so soon the whole family will be together for the first time in quite a while. The bad part about being at home is that I have to be productive and follow up on the maintenance tasks for the Barbarian Invader and Charlotte the truck before our next foray into the hinterlands.
