Preparing for the final leg home

I haven't updated lately as there was not much good to say. I was taught that if you didn't have something good to say...don't say it! Well, we were on our way out of Las Vegas and passing by Indian Springs (home of Creech AFB where the Predators are trained and controlled) when the engine in the RV decided it had had enough:( A dropped valve seat makes a lot of noise in a big engine.
After being towed to an AAA approved repair shop, we spent the next 2 1/2 weeks parked behind the shop while they proceeded to do even more damage to the engine. It is now at a Chevy dealer in Vegas having a new rebuilt engine installed. We will head back down next week to pick it up and continue our journey home. The return journey will be more direct than originally planned as we are both ready to end this great saga and get on with our lives. Hopefully the return will be uneventful and I'll let all know as to the final conclusion.
Yes, the journey had many bright and positive events and pleasures. We saw many beautiful sights as well as a lot of desert locations that we don't need to revisit any time soon.
