We finally settled down for the night after a few more jokes about Norman Bates and The Bates Motel and RV Park. We had our big dog and Randy's BB gun, certainly we would be safe from wild animals and Phil/Norman's country boy friends. Five AM, both of us were jolted awake by a noise at the door of the trailer... someone or something actually tried the door handle and was standing on the metal trailer steps. Even the dog was scared, she cowered next to me. We looked out the windows but couldn't see anything around the trailer. We made sure that the door was locked and Randy stood guard with his BB gun. I went back to sleep secure in the knowledge that we were safe in our bunker on wheels. At daybreak he woke me and we packed up in record time, jumped into the truck and... it wouldn't start. Mr., always prepared, Barnes jumped out and grabbed his battery charger from the back of the truck, we were rolling within minutes. We didn't stop until we reached Virginia.
We had a great trip. We loved the the Southwest. We really enjoyed our visit with Gail and Pecore in beautiful Sedona, but we are glad to be home.
Good night from Abingdon.
