Hometime in San Diego - Halloween & Voting

After we left Council Grove... we did a few loads. Then one ended in Denver. From there we got a ... slow... load from Denver to Phoenix.... So we took a day "off" in Trinidad, CO. with my cousins, Jimmy and JoAnn. Boy was that fun!! We got in a friendly argument over politics, got a tour of Trinidad, then went fishing!! Fun! Leroy caught 2 fish. No one else caught any.

What a riot!!









Leroy with fish. He threw it back.



From Phoenix, we got a load going to the border of Mexico in San Diego. Otay Mesa. We got there, dropped the trailer and left it for a Mexican driver to drive it across the border to get unloaded. We waited from 7am till 8:30pm. The trailer finally came back across. Yeah!! (We were thinking we were going to have to wait another day to get it back.)

From there we got Hometime!! in Lakeside, CA. We rested. Had doctor appts. got refills, and delivered our trailer to our church to be used for the Halloween/Harvest Festival. That was fun!!

Trunk or Treat (Halloween) Festival:






See our truck in the background....























Our church has people decorate the trunks of their cars and give out candy from their trunks in our church parking lot. Also.. there are games to play, concessions (food) to eat, a Cake Walk, a miniture train ride, and story telling, along with a Movie Theater for the little ones (they used our trailer for the movie theater-very cool).






We also got to Vote, clean out our truck, get our "winter" stuff out of storage, shower, laundry and generally clean up stuff. It was Good!!!

But when we were ready to get back on the road (after being out a week), they couldn't get us a load right away. We were ready on Wed. and we didn't get a load out until Friday. Bummer... too much down time.
