Yesterday we had lunch with our SLO Real Estate Agent friend, Cindi Petrovich. We ate at a taco shop in SLO. One of the properties we looked at with her, less than six months ago, that was on a lake is all dried up now. SLO has a water shortage like the rest of California. Anyway, it was nice to catch up with Cindi. She promises next time we meet to bring her partner Karen. We gave her a hard time about Karen being a figment of her imagination since she keeps promising to introduce us but the scheduling never works out.<br>
<br>
We stayed last night at a Walmart in Oxnard. We got rousted at about 10PM by security and had to move. The security lady told us where we could move to so it was not much of an inconvenience for us, but we are tired today. I think all of the excitement of the last couple of days is catching up to us.<br>
<br>
We arrived in San Diego today and we are staying at Joan and Pete's house for the night. We have a real bed and bathroom to use. It's ironic because their house overlooks our old house. So we are back at where we started over three months ago.<br>
<br>
We can see the slow progress on the new pool at our old house. It is not near completion and I thought it would have been done by now so I could go swimming in it. The new owners promised me a swim and a look around at their remodeling of the house.<br>
<br>
Judy just told me we visited 29 states on our trip. She is updating our progress on a paper road map that is yellow highlighted with our route. I will have to figure out how many miles we traveled.<br>
<br>
I am not sure how much longer I will keep up the Blog since we are back at the beginning again.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow we start preparing for the move to San Luis Obispo. We are feeling overwhelmed with excitement and fear. I suppose it will be like our Epic Adventure and we will ultimately have fun and be rewarded with new experiences. This is what happens when you, "Don't Quit Your Daydream".<br>

This was the last one on our list and we had almost given up on a place in San Luis Obispo. This one looks good and we filled out an application. We decided to sleep on it and we are not sure we will be chosen, but it looks good. Hopefully everything will come together tomorrow or fall apart.</p>

<p dir="ltr">We looked at many rental properties today from Pismo Beach to Cambria. At least 123 miles on the odometer. There are not many rental properties in this area to look at and they don't last long on the market. We looked at shared living arrangements, places in the city, at the beach, and in the country. We have a couple more to look at tomorrow. <br>
We are staying at Chorro Regional Park for the night. </p>

Bay Pines Travel Trailer Park</p>
<p dir="ltr">We spent last night at a Walmart in Stockton, Ca.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This morning we woke up at 6:15 to someone trying to steal our bikes off the bike rack on Monica. We looked out the rear window to a black guy messing with the bikes. He said he was just checking out the wheels. Judy yelled he's taking the bikes. I jumped up and went out and the guy said he wasn't taking them, but he had my bike on the ground and was getting ready to ride away. Two other guys were waiting in a running car next to the van. I said to the guy stealing the bike ; " you're taking it" he said back to me, " I'm not taking it". We kept saying the same thing to each other three or four rounds until I said,  she's calling the cops. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Judy came out with my cell phone and I told her to take a picture of his license plate. Judy put the phone up like she was taking a picture. The thief looked to get on my bike, but noticed the pedal was folded up and so he dropped the bike and got back in the car and they sped off.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We were lucky because the pedal was folded up on my bike so he couldn't pedal away.  And when he went to steal Judy's bike it got stuck in the bike rack. This guy didn't care we were there watching him attempt to steal our bikes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The get-away car had no license plate and the phone was not turned on to take a picture. The whole thing seemed surreal to me,  especially my exchange with the thief about taking and not taking the bikes.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We will be locking the bikes every night from now on.</p>
<p dir="ltr">And no, Pumpkin did not bark. He didn't even get up out of bed. </p>

Judy says we are all business now. We are not interested in sight seeing so much because we can always come back this way once we get settled in our home. Our priorities have shifted to finding a place to live. <br>
We are at a Walmart in Stockton, CA and on our way to San Luis Obispo, SLO. We have an appointment in SLO with our Real Estate Agent Cindi Petrovich on Friday.<br></p>

We drove most of today. We are camped at Rising River Campground for $34 per night.</p><p dir="ltr">There is also a picture of all my clothes and the Ebags I packed them inside. I brought more than enough clothes for the trip. I packed one pair of hiking boots, one pair of tennis shoes, and some CROC sandles.</p>

I had lunch with Christie and Greg. Greg made some beans, bbq chicken and salad. I brought the desert, Haagen-Dazs ice cream.</p><p dir="ltr"><br>
It was fun catching up and I got to talk about our Journey so far. I showed them a map of the U.S. with yellow highlighting our route.<br>
I can't believe we did all that.</p><p dir="ltr">And now we have to look at settling down. I wonder where we will land. There are not many rentals in SLO. We may have to look further south. It would be cool if it had a tree house or a pool and jacuzzi. It's hard to find a place that will take pets.</p><p dir="ltr">
Judy and Traci went on a hike and geocaching. They found three geocaches. Traci has been doing it for a year or so and has over 500 geocache finds. That's a lot. </p>

Discount Tire called this morning and they found me a replacement tire so I got that installed. Judy, Traci, and Ian went to Bikram's Yoga. Then Traci went off geocaching and Ian and Judy went for a 25 mile bike ride on The Sammamish Bike trail. They did all this with a heat advisory for Seattle. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Traci and Ian's dog Kioko doesn't like Pumpkin so we have to keep them separated. Pumpkin and I are hanging out in the driveway with the AC on watching the parking lot. This might sound not so good, but it is actually okay. The condo is not air conditioned and the van does feel like home to us after three months living in it. Too bad there is nothing good on over the air TV.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Tomorrow there will be more of the same weather. I am going to visit Christie Wilson at her house and have lunch. She has two dogs that are Pumpkin's size so that will be good for him. At least if the dogs don't get along no one will be seriously injured or killed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We have been able to get Ian's wifi in the parking lot so I have been researching places to live and rental properties. It's been mostly discouraging. There are not a lot of rentals in SLO and the ones we have found are less than ideal. Sometimes we both get a little worried about finding someplace to live especially with two pets. Our plans are to leave Seattle and has south Monday morning. </p>

We are at Traci and Ian's condo camping in the parking lot. We had a major tire failure on the freeway getting here. Judy was driving and the tread came off of the tire on the rear passenger side. It sounded like a bomb went off. She pulled over immediately and we looked under the car. We checked for a flat tire. The traffic was loud and busy. We were afraid to stop for very long and we were out in the middle of nowhere. The next exit was probably ten miles down the road. Judy said she thought she might have hit a tire tread. We jumped back in the van and went slowly for awhile listening for any problems. We drove for another hour on the tire with no tread and the wire showing through before we stopped. By that time part of the rear bumper had come off and the mud flap was hanging by a thread. We had passed a Discount Tire just before we stopped so we doubled back for repairs. Two days ago in Nampa I had been to Discount Tire for a tire rotation,  balance, and rotation.<br>
Discount Tire did not have the exact tire match but provided us with a temporary replacement. We will get a permanent replacement in San Diego. We will fill out a claim form for the rest of the damages. Just another  epic road trip adventure.</p>

We split the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, string beans, and a roll. It was delicious. We had a really fun and entertaining waitress named Coco. We then went to Jody's chiropractor for me to get adjusted. This was my second time to see him and I think it is helping my nagging neck pain. </p><p dir="ltr">Judy went for a bike ride with Bill and Ann Marie along the Boise Greenbelt. They rode for 30 scenic miles.</p><p dir="ltr">We have been staying in Monica out in front of Jody's house. The street is very quiet and we are able to plug into her house for electricity. The weather is good so we don't need to run the air conditioner.</p><p dir="ltr">Yesterday we had dinner with the family, ( <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Robert, Debra, LeeAnne, David, Alex, and Paige), </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">at Jody's house.

Her and Bella have been so nice and generous sharing their space with us. </span></p>

<p dir="ltr">We are staying out in front of Judy's cousins host in Nampa, Idaho for the next couple of days. I have a chiropractic appointment tomorrow to get an adjustment. I am so looking forward to the relief that comes with proper spine alignment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Today we saw EBR1, (Experimental Breeder Reactor), at The Atomic Museum in Atomic City on our way to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We are getting to the hard part of our journey. We are slowly on our way back to California, but we have no place to call home. Now that it is getting closer we realize we have to settle on a town and find a place to rent.<br>

<p dir="ltr">We are staying at The Kennebec KOA in South Dakota. The brochure Q&A reads; Yes, the wind does blow like this all the time. Our average daily high wind is 25 mph but we can have wins of 75 mph or more. The average yearly rainfall is 18" and it all comes on holiday weekends. Our annual temperature range is 150 degrees, from -40 to +110 degrees Fahrenheit. The closest McDonald's is 35 miles, the nearest Walmart is 65 miles.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We stopped by The Corn Palace this afternoon, in Mitchell, South Dakota. It was like an indoor farmers market only they were selling tourist trinkets.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This place is right or of The Wizard of Oz. The wind is blowing the van around and you can see the storm moving in. It's starting to sprinkle now. The lady at the check in told us where the storm shelter was in case we needed it. One of the employees reminds me of The Cowardly Lion. We maybe off to see The Wizard before the night is through. </p><p dir="ltr">This is for Suanne; regular gas $2.95, diesel $2.65.</p>

Welcome, Minnesota</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are staying at Welcome Campground for the night. It is a nice small, (less than 40 sites), quiet campground. 18 of the sites are for seasonal workers. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We rode our bikes over to the Winnebago Factory Tour this morning at 9AM. There were a lot of people from The WIT Rally. All of them white old people like us. I think they should rename themselves WOT, for White Old Travelers. I kid you not they were all over 50 and white. <br>
There was a museum and a gift shop with Winnebago swag. Our tour guide said Winnebago employs 2500 people mostly from Forest City and they had 200 job openings. He said they start out at $13 and make up to $16 dollars an hour. Forest City has a population of a little over 4100 so Winnebago employs more than half the town at their factory.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After the tour we went to Lichtsinn RV to test drive a Winnebago View or Atasca IQ. They are virtually the same rig and one of them will be our next RV. We test drove a Navion IQ. It is built on the same Mercedes chassis as Monica. If we bought one from Lichtsinn then we would have to name the rig Forest or City to keep with our naming convention. We bought Monica in Santa Monica, hence the name. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We are on our way to "The Dead Presidents", Mt. Rushmore, South Dakota and we should be there in a couple of days.</p>

Forest City, Iowa.</p><p dir="ltr"><br>
We did not see the Pucker Brush Days Festival. When we got there at 6PM everything was closed and there were no people. They did have some cool bicycle art on display.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Forest City is a small Iowa town of about 4200 people. Most of the people work at the Winnebago Factory located in town. This weekend was the PBD Festival and Tuesday starts the WIT Grand National Rally. It lasts for two weeks and you have to be a member of WIT to participate. WIT stands for Winnebago Itasca Travelers.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are staying at Pannel Park Campground for the night. We plan on taking the Winnebago Factory Tour tomorrow. We are interested in buying a Winnebago for our next RV. They have a dealership here in town, Lichtsinn, so we can test drive the various models. Lichtsinn is the number one RV dealer in Iowa.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We went to a winery today and did some tasting and listened to some live music. Judy bought a bottle of wine and sipped it while watching the band. <br><br></p>

<p dir="ltr">We left Phyllis and Kevin's house this morning around 10. We spent the last three nights there inside their home. This is the first time since we began our trip, May 1st, that we have not slept in Monica. Their house is on a curve and I was afraid we might get rear ended if we parked on the street. We parked Monica in their sloped driveway and slept in the house basement. It was very hot so it was nice to be inside in the air conditioned house. </p>
<p dir="ltr">We visited The University of Illinois where Kevin and Phyllis are starting their new jobs next month. The Campus is huge and very pretty. Most of the buildings are old and brick, but refurbished inside. You can tell there is lots of history there.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We stopped at the biggest truck stop in the world on our way to Forest City, Iowa. It is located in Wallcott, Iowa. The main building is 67,000 Sq ft. They have fast food, a restaurant, and lots of travel items for sale. It gets an average of 5000 visitors a day and has 450 employees.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are camping tonight at Iowa Pilot Knob State Park. It costs $16 for the camping spot with electricity and showers. Tomorrow we will be touring Forest City.</p>

My most useful thing after my smartphone is my quick-dry towel. My favorite place is usually the last place we've been. Judy's most favorite place was Stephen's house in the Adirondack's. The best thing Judy drank was salted Carmel latte in Hingam, Massachusetts. My most favorite drink is a toss-up between Tim Horton's frozen hot chocolate or frozen daiquiri's in Louisiana.</p>

This morning we awoke to a wicked scary thunderstorm. The rain was heavy and our shore power went out. The wind blew our little van from side to side. You could feel the concussions from the thunder. Being from San Diego both Judy and I do not know anything about extreme weather, but we are sure finding out on this trip. The storm lasted lasted about four hours and then the sun came out and it was hot. It's amazing how the weather can be so changeable.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I went on a factory tour of the Nexus RV Factory with "The Anonymous Travelers" this morning. The Tour was scheduled to take 45 minutes, but I left after 2 hours. 'The Anonymous Travelers" want to sell "The Taj Ma Jal" and get a class C motorhome. I will have some pictures so you can see what they look like.</p>
<p dir="ltr">After leaving "The Anonymous Travelers" with the RV sales person, Judy and I went to an artist's village in Goshen. It was located in what once was an old bag factory, hence the name of the village was, The Old Bag Factory. They had some art quilts that were selling for over three thousand dollars. There were some antique stores, a restaurant, coffee house, and a chocolate factory.</p>
