Back to the USA

Ozzie and I made it safely back to the US. It was a pretty easy crossing. We avoided Nogales and crossed in Lukeville, AZ. Our first day back was really cold. The first night we stayed in Kingman, AZ and it was 18 degrees. Luckily, we bought a small heater so we were comfortable. Not exactly a warm welcome. We were very sad to leave Mexico. It really was a wonderful trip. Onward to the cold north.

Yesterday, we rolled into Vegas and the alternator went out. So, we had to stay overnight to wait for a new one. Luckily, it was under warranty. Last night we stayed at the Circus Circus KOA Kampground, a very luxurious campground. I am e-mailing in the TV room and everything is really nice. Of course it is right on the strip so we went to the casino last night to have dinner. We decided to give gambling a whirl and spent 1.50 on the slots. Needless to say we weren't lucky and we couldn't bring ourselves to spend more.

Hopefully, we will get our new alternator today and be on our way. We should be back in Bend by the weekend.
