Friday

Hi everyone,  Today was a HOT and frustrating day, but we are all fine.  We are having to change our plans.  We are VERY sad to be missing our friends in CA.  The forcast is calling for 102 deg weather tomorrow.  We are going to do tomorrow, what we did today....drive for 2 hours, stop and rest for and hour or so, then do it again.  We covered what would normally be a 4hr drive....in 8hrs with all the stopping to let the engine cool.  We also bought 2 more fire extinguishers, just in case.  The hardest thing is that we can not run the AC for fear of overheating the engine.  The RV is still leaking some transition fluid, but not too much, so we are holding out hope we can make it home, if we really "baby" the engine   We are planning to do ur driving early in the am or overnight to help things, too.  Despite the difficulties, we are keeping a positive outlook (at least trying to).  Our goal is to at least make it to the Grand Canyon before we have to head back.  We are also hoping that as we travel East, we might get cooler weather, which will help.  We are worried about another fire, but we are just going to deal with things as they happen.  We knew this wouldn't be a smooth trip.  We are going to stick it out and hope for the best.  Good Night everyone.
