Ditto

Roger and Susie's Travels Today we left Laughlin About 10:30 am to visit friends in Palm Springs on the Needles Hwy My bike rake on the back of the motor home broke. My tow truck was also hooked to this area thank god we were not on the freeway as we were only going about 30 miles per hour the tow hitch dug into the pavement then I managed to get off the side of the road with lots of room. I spent about a hour and 30 minutes to get every thing unhooked 6 bikes plus the rest of the stuff back there moved it all to the back of the pick up truck and strapped down move the tow bar back to the motor home hooked up the truck and took off went over the freeway to get on to the freeway. But missed the turn as I was getting turned a round I noticed that the tow truck tow bar was not locking properly got out only to realized that the tow bar was damaged so could not pulled the pickup so Susie had to drive the pickup and follow me to Palms Springs. By that time she had to drive about 3hrs but we landed here safely had dinner and wine waiting for us and going golfing tomorrow. Here for two nights. Then Off to Yuma will be visiting friend in Yuma that is wear I will get the tow bar fixed. Oh did I mention Our house batteries bit the dust only two years old bought in Mexico so off to Costco to buy new ones again not one of my better days but thank god we are healthy and going to have great holiday in spite of a few miss hap's sorry having trouble with pictures will try to add tomorrow
