Tuesday morning we were up and about fairly early but we weren't ready to leave the campground for our ride until our regular 1100 hour. haha. WE had breakfast at 1000 so we knew we didn't need to take lunch with us. A couple of water bottles and we were good to go.
We decided to first head out to the Pumpkin Hollow Mine and see how far that was from the park. We ride out there all the time from home and it's not far. Bottom line it's only 13 miles from the park along the huge power line road. We turned around there and then headed out the south end of the park to the road to Aurora and Sweetwater Canyon. We've been on the road before but not with the Can Am. It was a great ride, but we never did make it to the roads we were looking for as we weren't able to carry extra gas since we had the spare tire in the cargo area. Next time!
Still a great drive! I love driving that thing! In the end of the two days we put 126 miles on it! 113 on Tuesday.
We got back to camp nearing 1630 and a little later I got a text from Adam asking if we were home. On one of his days off he took a drive Sonora way and was about an hour from us. A little later he joined us at camp. He visited until about 1930 and then decided to head home rather than spend the night. Nice we got to see him for a bit!
We had our dinner and enjoyed a nice fire before calling it quits for the night.
Wednesday morning we took our time getting ready and having breakfast. The park has nice showers available so we took advantage of those every day. No coins required and perfect temperature water! The toy hauler has a wet bath if needed, but the park showers were definitely better!
We had a late breakfast and left there at exactly 1100. 36 minutes we were back home. Good thing as the front porch looked like Christmas deliveries! The new toilet and faucet for the Komfort were there. The bumper for the Can Am along with a couple of other items.
I unloaded the food and clothing while Ken dumped the toy hauler. Looks like there's a problem in the bathroom with the toilet leaking somewhere, I'm sure he'll figure it out :)
I did some baking. Ken mentioned I made good chocolate chip cookies maybe there's a recipe for almond flour. There was and they turned out yummy! No sugar added and they're really good. Peanut butter flourless muffins too.

I had some good asparagus and mushrooms so I decided a ground turkey meatloaf would compliment nicely. Cooked it up in the afternoon so a quick microwave heating was all it would take.
After Ken came in about 1700 we went outside for Happy Hour. I texted Karen and she came over for a bit so of course we had to have a fire. Nice evening.
This morning (Thursday) not sure what's on my agenda but Ken's got work cut out for him LOL..
Ken spent the day working on the Can Am getting the spare tire on, cleaning it up and cleaning filters. I worked in the house doing general stuff..nothing exciting. A good day to be home. Tomorrow we are heading for Reno and Total Wine for a pick up. Ken's eye drops in Gardnerville and before you know it that day will be done.
Happy Hour time!
Have a wonderful evening.
