Needles, then Home.....

When we left the cool weather in Williams we began our decent home. We arrived in Needles, Ca around noon and headed for the pool where we spent the rest of the day talking about our trip. What we liked, what we didn't, what we could have done differently. We talked about how we had no trouble with our motorhome last time and a good deal of trouble this time.  Even heading from Williams to Needles the motorhome was "missing".
We left the very very warm Needles, Ca the following morning and headed down the long long hill back home.  Here we are. Back to the real world! You know how hot Needles was when we were grateful to be back in Sun City in the cooler weather!  It was only 100 degrees here!

On any long trip you are likely to come home with more than you left with.  This was no exception.  Here is a crazy list of things we "found" or were given along the way......

1 pack of 11 unopened bottles of Pelligrino. ( just left under a tree)
1 red pasta pot with slotted colander lid (given to us by the Bavarians who were heading back to Bavaria)
1 non-stick fry pan (the Bavarians again)
2 water pressure regulators. (we passed one on to another RV-er who didn't have one)
2 brand new sewer hose elbows and attachments
1 unopened bag Starbucks Sumatra ground coffee (Ya gotta love the Bavarians for this one as I was down to my last bag)
1 set salt and pepper shakers
1 large cannister of sea salt (from those Bavarians again!)
1 set of large aluminum camper steps. (how did they get in without them?)
1 bottle of Palmolive dish soap
1 black spatula ( oddly enough I had broken my new one just 3 days before I was blessed with this replacement from, who else? The Bavarians!)
1 red Tommy Bahama folding chair that wouldn't fold up. We get a lot of these since Bill has the secret to how to fold them up!)
1 black folding step stool
1 sleeve of Solo plastic cups
1 box of pasta shells. (There were about 8 of them with a sign that said please take it you can use on a picnic table. So we helped ourselves to a box)

Quite a haul, eh?

Well, that's it from us for now.  Thank you for being interested enough to actually READ my ramblings. And thanks to those who left comments or sent email responses to some of the posts. They are always fun to read. We head out again in a few days for a 10 day trip to the beach area but I promise not to write about it.
