Marana, Az.

Oct. 15th.,16th, 17th, 18th,We were in Little Rock, Ark. had to have the motor home software upgraded(the engine light was blinking ) and while we were there we had to have a new transmission put in the P.T. Cruiser. We sat in the parking lot of the repair place for 4 days. Finally got the Tanny replaced and started on our way to Az.
Oct. 19th We traveled from Benton, Ark. to Ranger, Tex. 415 miles and still not across Tex.
Oct. 20th We spent the night in Carlsbad, NM. traveling  345 Miles that day still trying to get away from Tex. Had planned the route to go to Cloud croft, Jay figured it was to high this time of the year. (9,000 ft.). So back down to Tex. we go dropping into El Paso and coming across to Las Cruces, NM 206 miles.
Oct. 21, 22...We stayed still for a couple of days to get caught up with ourselves.
Oct. 23, heading for Benson, Az. we could smell something hot in the motor home pulled over of the freeway, we just lost 2 water hoses to the engine had water and coolant all over the engine Jay made a phone call to Cat (Rush Truck Serv.) in Las Cruces,they said try to fill it with water and get back to Las Cruces will work you in and have you out in a day. So back to Las Cruces (43 Miles) to the shop 2 days later at 7:45PM we get out of the shop talk about two frustrated old people ...we qualified. While we were bumming around Las Cruces we went to the Wed. Street Market. Rather nice for a change.
Oct. 25th Finally in Marana, Az. at my niece and her husbands home. Going to set back and relax for 5 days then head for Yuma for 5 weeks. 
Oct. 30th We left the kids place and now we are setting in the parking lot of the Casino in Winterhaven, will go into the park( Pilot Knob) tomorrow will spend about 5 weeks in this area.  We had a wonderful time with the kids.
This is the end of the Trip....Had good company (Rudy, Doris, Dave and Eva.)
spent a lot of money on fuel, RV Parks, repairs and sickness.  All of these things could of happened at home as well as on the trip. This will be the most memorable excursion , we can laugh, cry and thank god it wasn't worse.
We saw a lot and missed a lot.  Wouldn't trade it for anything.
