Update in Arizona


Were held up just less than 2 hours at the border. They didn't like the for sale sign on the trcuk and
the fact that i had some of my tools in the truck. But otherwise we are harmless. I had a good laugh because my tail
gate is broken, and when they questioned me about my tools, I said "no no my tools are mostly all in the drawers that you
didn't see were removed, behind the tail gate, because the tail gate is broken." They are like "yeh, it wasn't that hard
to open." I thought that was funny cause it took me a lot longer to figure out how to open it, but I assumed it was broken
worse than it really was.

Just stopped 140km into the states to use a rest stop and make Lattes. Well all the milk and egg nog was frozen. I mannaged to squeeze a couple of drinks
out of it, and wow did it make fabulous foam. Maybe it really does help to make the milk really cold before you steam it?

We slept really well last night at the Tim Hortons, and woke up to our favourate comercial coffee. That was brilliant.
Except I am sure we pissed at least one person off as we took up 4 semi prime parking spots. Iwoke up at 8:30 and the
first thing I heard was "look at this penis" from somebody walking by.

That was the first night in the states, Then...

We stopped in Beaver Utah for gas, and had a good laugh there. First of all the sign, "Beaver, Mountains Of Fun". Then a woman
in a crazy 80's track suit, walking little white dogs with big red bows. Even Arbies was comical there.

We stayed in a Wallmart Parking lot in Grand Falls. The first time I ever pulled into a Wallmart parking lot and it was
almost empty, but it was 2am. And guess what, Wallmart was open, at 2am. We pulled in the back with 2 other massive campers
and a tent trailer. I got a picture of the tent trailer behind us at 10am when we got up. They look like they were camped out
there for a wile.

It is Friday now, we are about half way, so we are staying in Mistique Navada, at a casino/hotel/pool/shower. Basically just
a shower, the rest is a bonus. They gave us $10 to gamble with "free". I am a champ gambler, I won half my money back
over 100 times.

It's Saturday night, and we found internet at the Dennys in a little town half hour from Pheonex. So here is the update. Things have been going slow since the south end of Navada during the day. The heat just doesn't help us pull the old trailer, which I weighed in Canada, and
