Well, we started off the day trying to decide if we wanted to head to Yosemite for a couple of hours or not. As I mentioned, there were a couple of places that I wouldn't have minded seeing. However, factoring in travel time- we would have been focused on getting back in order to pack up the trailer, not on enjoying the excursion- so we opted not to go.
Instead, we figured we would hit the road a bit early, giving us time to do some grocery shopping before we settled in for the night at the Anaheim Harbor RV park. Then, during our preparations, we discovered that the motor on the slide was spinning with no effect. Great. So, it was a good thing we didn't go to Yosemite- because we would have had to deal with the slide when we got back. As it was, we got out of the KOA around 10:30, once we finally manhandled the slide back in. So, we will be working on researching repairs to the slide- but probably not until we are done at Disney.
We made it through the traffic of LA area, in spite of the massive herd of people traveling along with us. SO glad we were traveling on a Sunday, not a week day. At least the masses of traffic were moving!
We are currently sitting in a paved parking lot, but it is level and we have power and water. We won't use the slide, obviously, until we can figure out how to fix it. I did notice that there are a bunch of RV repair places within walking distance of our current location- but Joe is a great problem solver- and he charges a great price! So, he will most likely collect parts and then work with his dad to get it fixed. Might mean a few modifications to our original trip plan- but we can handle it.
The truck pulled like a trooper up the hills to get into LA area- over a 5000 foot climb- with only minor heat issues. The repair on the header held- yay! So, tomorrow will be our first experience with the Disney thing. Should be a fun day! The kids are excited to go. Temps are supposed to be in the mid 70s, which should be perfect. Next stop- Mickey Mouse! ;o)
