Snow Bird and Companion

Here comes the snowbird and companion.  We were headed out for a long walk down by the docks and the down town area.

Night Time at the RV Park

Pulled into this park yesterday afternoon after the Sunday drive through L0s Angeles.  I still have to admit, the traffic was a bit heavy for a Sunday.  Nonetheless, what a change from the desert.  Overcast and cloudy, cool with expected rain today.

Cost of RV parks on the coast have been expensive to say  the least.  May try to do something cheaper, have the ability to boondock and stay at State Campgrounds cheaper than this one.  But what a pretty park.  I’ll grab more pictures today hopefully.

Well, the bad jack was replaced, and the old (supposedly good) one failed as we were testing the jacks.  If it wasn’t for bad luck we wouldn’t have any.   So, new one is on order and will arrive next week.  We will fix it that weekend after.  I think both may have failed in the same spot.  The one we have removed failed where the ring gear is keyed to the shaft.  The key hole itself eats up over 1/2 of the shafts diameter.  I’ve seen this type of failure before but not in this type of equipment.

We have decided to stay another full month here in the high desert giving us time to get the jack replaced next week and then we will move on up the coast.  The silver lining of this problem is we are flexible in time.  We are blessed in many ways at this stage of the game and time is one of those blessings.
