Thursday and yes the pickup is still hooked up to the motorhome. Yesterday when we got here I was unhooking the pickup so we could go dump and fill with water I got into a little bit of a hurry. Note I have hook and unhook the pickup maybe a hundred times and I have already unhooked and hooked it up at Safelite in St. George when I got the motorhome window fixed on Wednesday.
Anyway I got into a hurry and when engaging the transmission I moved the ignition key to fast and the transmission is now stuck dis-engaged.
The steps are:
Foot on brake peddle
Turn ignition key to ON from OFF but steering wheel not locked
Pause = while the transmission engages
Move the shifter into Drive position
Move back to Neutral and start the engine.
I went from ignition key in OFF to START and then shifter to Drive.
I’ll be making up a new checklist.
Pickup is not happy, the dash saying it’s in low 4X4 and in fact the transmission is still dis-engaged. We have an appointment at the St. George Ford Dealership at 9:45 Monday morning to fix my mistake.
Oh well, as they say it would have been worse.
Today was travel day to Zion National Park for two week. It is really a beautiful place.
On the way we made three stops, Lowes, Safelite Auto Glass and Walmart. Lowes was to look at microwave ovens the microwave convection oven was acting up for a week or so my not working, we threatened it and has worked for the past week. If it quits again it’s gone. Safelite to get a motorhome window chip fixed and Walmart for groceries.
Watchman campground.
We are in site B44 for the next two weeks.
This picture was taken with my Ipad, not a bad picture.
Than we drove onto Spring Valley State Park, it has zero cell service.
Most of the campsite were small for our motorhome, but there were a few good sites. 
Today’s drive to Plymouth COE campground on the Columbia River, we are in site 28 for the next week. Here for Tanya’s birthday on July 4 and Jack’s first birthday on July 6.
Yes, that is a garbage dumpster next to our site in the 105 heat for several days.
Heading towards Tanya, Mike and Jack’s for a week. Celebrating Tanya’s and Jack’s birthdays. Jack’s first birthday and Tanya’s more than first birthday.
This is a I-90 rest spot and Forest Service Campground, at mile post 60.
We are in site A7, a nice large pull-through, great since I will not have to unhook the pickup.
On Friday September 15, 2000 I set on this picnic table at 10:30 at night and had my first beer with my daughter.
View out our front window. 
I didn’t see the three old campsite circles until we had been here for over a week. I was looking on google earth to see what was around this area and I saw the three shadows of campsite circle.
I was 31 years old when I took this picture of my hiking boots looking at Mt. Olympus in Olympic National Park. We started at Soleduck Hot Spring, carrying a 100 pound pack up to the High Divide across the Cat Walk to Mt. Carrie. The valley below between us and Mt. Olympus is the Hoh River Valley.
This picture was taken today at 67 years old, my new wading boots setting in front of my motorhome after a day of fly fishing in Yellowstone National Park on the Firehole and Madison Rivers.
