It's been a Rocky Road to Arizona...and we haven't left yet!

It's the beginning of November, we're still sitting in Bowmansville, and we're not sure when we'll be able to begin our journey to AZ.

First, when we got back from Maine, Keith decided that we should get a new truck; he didn't think ours had as much power as we might need.  So we bought a new F150 (and, he's right, it does have a lot more power) but we had to order a cap for it and that would take 2 to 3 weeks.  To allow plenty of time for it, we set our departure date for 11/4.  But then it came in early and we decided to leave this past Monday...but that didn't happen.

When we got back from Maine, the RV dealer was supposed to fix the frig in our travel trailer.  They told us that they checked it and it worked???  They said to let them know when we planned to leave and they would plug it in a few days before so it would be cold when we put our food in.  On Friday when we were putting stuff in the trailer getting ready for our Monday departure, I opened the frig and found that it wasn't cold; it wasn't working.  They couldn't find the problem and said that they'd have to order a new one.  The warehouse in NJ was out of stock, so our dealer had to order one from the manufacturer.  It came today but was DAMAGED...what are the odds?  Now, we have to wait for another one to be shipped.

And, as if that weren't bad enough...we had that freak snow storm on Sat and lost the electric at the campground.  We decided to go to a motel because branches were snapping and falling all around.  On our way out, someone stopped us saying that large trees had fallen and were blocking the roads out of here in both directions.  We spent the night in our neighbor's camper because they have a propane fireplace...we had no electric or water but at least we were warm. 
We heard that forty-some large branches fell around the campground, but luckily none of the big ones fell on campers.   Many of the smaller trees just bent like this one.  I shook the snow off and it went back up.

On Sunday, they cleared the road and we went to a nearby motel for 3 nights.  Finally, yesterday the power and water were restored and we came home.  Now, we just have to wait for the new frig.

I'm thinking these may be signs that we're not supposed to go.  But my "the cup is always half full" husband says that all the bad stuff is happening now and we'll have smooth sailing once we hit the road.  Hopefully, the frig will be here and installed by Mon or Tue, and then we'll leave.
