On to the next adventure! Amazon.com!

Well, after leaving California and taking a short week at home we're on to our next adventure!  We've signed on to be seasonal work campers at Amazon.com.  It was really nice to get home, see Lisa, and rest for a bit before moving on!  We also took the opportunity to switch out our mattress in the fifth wheel since we could feel every spring in it whenever we layed down.  We took the junky mattress that came with the trailer to the dump and replaced it with our pillow top from home!

On to Amazon.com.  We signed on to work at the Coffeyville, Kansas warehouse so our travel route will take us through Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, then into Kansas.  And we're off!

One of the things we like best about traveling with the fifth wheel is that we have our house with us wherever we are.  Here we are in a Utah rest area taking a break and having lunch!

Here's a view from the outside at the rest area.

We are making good time making our way across the country so we decided to stop in Fort Collins, Colorado for a few days and take a mini-vacation!  Notice our site with a hot tub!   (One of the things we miss the most while we're on the road is our hot tub.  We're still trying to figure out a way to bring one along!)

We noticed something strange about Sadie as time went on.  She was missing something!

After finding a dog park in Fort Collins, Colorado, we found out that she was missing the water!  Now she's happy again!

We even found  a farmers market in Fort Collins and bought some great apples that were just coming into season!  We also found a store that sold all kinds of olive oil from all over the world!  We spent a lot of time tasting (I loved the white and black truffle oil) and we ended up carrying out a few bottles for future use!  Fort Collins seems to have it all.  We really enjoyed our visit here.

Our friend Barb gave us some beautiful green bell peppers while we were at home and now we had the opportunity to use them!  Diana stuffed them and we put them on the grill!

 

Here's the finished product!  They didn't last long.  They were great!  Thanks again Barb!

We'll be at Amazon.com October - December so we figured we'd augment the furnace and give us a homey feel during the Christmas season!  And it fits under the desk perfectly!

Life on the road can get boring at times so Sadie and Isabel took time to practice new tricks... 

Wait! Not yet...

Entering Western Kansas.  This was taken by Isabel from the truck along the way.

And then the scenery flattened out...

And we're here!  Notice the blank look on Sadie's face.  She's wondering why we left the California mountains and her lake.

We're here to work so I guess frills aren't as important.  The RV park ("Big Chief RV Park") is basic to say the least but it will serve our purpose and it's right across the street from Amazon which will let us walk to work.  The park reminds me a lot of the military camps and disaster relief we used to build  in remote parts of the world!  Here is a view of the neighborhood.
