Home Again

After a (rare) eight-hour night of sleep, I headed back home from Mitch & Holly Geriminsky's in Lake Havasu. I left around 6:40 this morning.

I stopped in Kingman for gasoline which cost $3.49/gallon. I only got 29 gallons. I knew that gasoline would be much cheaper in Winslow from my drive to Lake Havasu on Friday. Sure enough, it was still $3.08/gallon in Winslow. So I got 21 gallons there. I have plenty of gasoline left over so I can run the generator monthly. I got home around 1:30.

I had a great time in Lake Havasu. I wish I could have stayed longer but we're expecting a winter storm this week in New Mexico starting tomorrow night. I had to get home with plenty of daytime left so I could put The Beast into the GOCO Beast Barn. This got accomplished after unpacking.
