Finally, on the road

Well, we are now officially on the road. Got out of town a bit before noon on Saturday, and made it to Tucson for the night. Morning adventures included the realization that the pressure relief valve on the water heater was too sensitive and needs replacing. Made a trip to Camping world and got the parts, but haven't installed yet. Also of course bought a bunch of other odds and ends - pimping da ride, I guess...

Visited the Desert Museum outside of Tucson, and very much enjoyed it. Javalina critters (look like pigs, but only distantly related), caves, desert humingbirds, etc. Very nice.
Then, after a slight detour, on to Bisbee Az, for two days.
Today did the mine tour (ok, Delilah and I did, B chickened out :) ), and walked around the town some. Really quaint area. Victorian era houses, but mostly smaller (mine workers, etc).
Obviously got the Satellite Internet working. Turns out the you don't want to use a compass on the dish, since the cables signal tweaks the compass. Complications, but only 20 minutes this time...
Delilah, unfortunately, has a bit of a bug (runny nose, grumpy at night, a bit of a fever). Hoping that she will sleep better tonight. Makes for a long night for all...
Tomorrow off to Roswell, on the way to Leavenworth Kansas a few days out.
Some day I'll figure out how to push pictures up on this thing...
