Today was supposed to be a short day of travel. It was definitely NOT. We were over an hour and a half later than we had planned.
As we prepared to leave the Hollywood RV Park, Tom discovered the strap holding the back of the Vespa on the VersaHaul was broken. So, he spent a little while fixing that. We got going down the road and of course we got into LA traffic and it was over an hour before we could check it. When we did the back tire was off the VersaHaul, again. Tom fixed it again. We hadn’t gotten very far down the road and a car pulled up and told us it was off again. It was really off. It took both of us to get it back on. We finally made it to the campground with it still attached. The cats did not cooperate either. Penny and Samantha both got through the barrier to get in the front seat. They are trouble to be sure. It was not a good travel day.
We’ve been at this a week and a half and RV Travel App is annoying. Tom has our route downloaded to his tablet. Karen (yes I named her Karen) acts like we can’t follow the road. She must think we’re idiots because she tells us three times how to join the highway. She tells us to join the highway in 200 feet, then just join the highway, then just to be sure, follow the highway. I’m fairly certain we can follow the highway or else we’d be in the ditch. Not a good place for a travel trailer. So, if I don’t throw the tablet to get Karen to stop talking, it will be a miracle.
Our campground, Sweetwater Summit Regional Park is very nice as you can see from the first picture. The weather is cooler than LA. All the windows are open and there’s a nice breeze. We will be here six nights.
Tomorrow we have plans to go to The Little Italy Farmers Market and in the evening is the Padres game.
I am beyond thankful that even though it was a long stressful day, we arrived safely and all of our belongings are mostly okay. I hope your journey today has ended safely too.
