Flowers are blooming.
And we saw this beautiful 1958 Flying Cloud Airstream, pulled by a 1961 Chrysler. It has been fully restored. I loved the license plates on the car and trailer. Cars with those fins were sure cool when I was in high school!
And the ruins, of course. There are two main sections of ruins visible to visitors. We walked to Homolovi I the other day. Here are pottery shards.
And some structure walls have been restored.
He returned yesterday with a new part. What he found was that the black tank and the black pipe between the tank and dump valve were full of calcium deposits. The water in Arizona is extremely hard and white deposits develop on (and in, obviously) our plumbing. We couldn't believe how many large clumps of white deposit he was able to flush out of the tank. When we tried to empty it originally, a chunk of that stuff had blocked the tank opening.
Everything seems to be working correctly today. We hope it stays that way.
That looks like a nice Camping area that we didn't know existed near Winslow.
ReplyDeleteThe desert is really putting on a show with all the wildflowers.
Like the vintage Car and Trailer. I'm certain it attracts lots of attention.
We have a heavy duty Water Filter plus when we return home our softer water seems to clean our water system out.
Be Safe and Enjoy this years travels.
It's about time.
These are really nice sites, but no sewer. We don't really understand about the hard water deposits. We have soft water at our site in Gold Canyon. It's a mystery.
