What can I say…..Rain

We're leaving Rapid City tomorrow, so today was spent cleaning and prepping for the next leg of our journey.  We're going to make a run for Indiana, hoping to be there on July 2, or the 3rd at the latest.  A stop in Moscow, IA, to have the leveling system on the motor home checked will happen on the way. Then a quick jaunt through South Chicago to the rv capital of the country near Elkhart, IN.

One of the things we needed to do today was a lot of laundry, cleaning, and vacuuming.  While Donna was busy on the inside, I took over the outside, regenerating the water softener, dumping the holding tanks, and …..wait for it…..washing both the motorhome and the tow car.  The weather today was spectacular, clear with a few clouds and 78 degrees.  So with a lot of work, we got it all done and everything was sparkling.

Then…..about 6:00pm…..it started to rain.  Thunderstorm again!  Lightning and thunder, rain by the bucket full, and wind.  Ok, so I wasn't so smart about the car washing thing.  These storms seem to be chasing us east.  I'm hoping that tomorrow will bring a change to our luck.

For people from drought-striken Cali, this is certainly a refreshing change, though. It's wonderful to step outside after the storm passes and take a deep breath of the "clean".  Wish we could bottle some of this and send it home.

Later!
