We've gotten to Alberque (sp), and on our way to Denver.

The last couple of rest stops there've been a survey where you can say whether you approve of the place or not. I've not seen that before. 

Anyhow, I'm finally getting into the idea of being on the road, no our "Gypsy Quest" is finally underway.

Tuesday we picked up the RV at Nashua, New Hampshire. We got there late, as we went to see Oliver first.

Nice guy.

Slim conned a couple of bucks out of him to see the 'zibit, rattling off a story, but Oliver know Doug had made it.

We got lost going to his friends place, which is why we got there late. His friend wasn't home, so Slim talked his way into a neighbors garden to sit and chat for a while.

Anyhow, we left them and went back to the car. Not long after that, Olivers friend Tony got back. We spent the night parked in their driveway and early Wednesday moved our things into the RV.

Almost as soon as we drove off, there was a problem with it. I think the transmission hose went, as there was a lot of trans fluid around. (I guess there would be huh?) We drove a ways, but a cloud of smoke came from the drivers side, so we ended up getting towed again, and getting the hose replaced. It's only temporary though, so we'll have to get to a service station to get it looked at.

So we went on our way, and stayed at a rest stop over night. Now it's about 8am, and we'll spend the day finding places for things, or I will anyway.

Slim's not used to driving the RV, no time for practice really, and he's not sure what all the buttons do yet. Anyhow, today will be a day to relax for him.

For myself,  I believe that America is truly a great country. For a while I thought where's the trees, then finally, forests, hills, green for miles. Reminded me of England. For a while there were miles of grassland, hills in the distance that you could hardly see.

It's a great experience.

If I ever get married again and have kids, even if I don't, I hope I get to do it again.
