So early start this am, up at 7, shower at the superb Blake Ranch, breakfast and then the unhook process, turning the tap to release the “black” toilet waste and it was quite clear by the sound and the volumes that it had not been emptied when we got it, either that or several large creatures were flushed away.

Anyhoo the Mrs drove her first 100 miles to Williams, where we went for fillup number 2 ($93) and a tyre check to find a valve damaged, so a call to the RV company to authorise around $80 to remove the wheel and replace the valve, fortunately at their expense. Didn’t want to mention I drove without issue and the Mrs takes over and we have a problem, mmmmmm.

So lunch at the Wild West Junction and then the last 60 miles up to the Grand Canyon for 3 nights.
