We then went on to park at our daughter's place near Enumclaw where we got to spend time with the grandchildren, meet the new kitties, pet the dogs, feed the bunnies and chickens, collect eggs and help move straw. They are also busy planting the starts in their garden that have been sprouting up in the greenhouse. It's a great farm atmosphere with lots of different animals and growing things all around. Love it there!

One drawback to our driveway is the downward slant to the parking pad. Our street is on a hill, and our driveway slants yet another direction making for weird tilting as we pull out or back in. (This tests how well we packed!)
I am behind the wheel and as I back in, Jerry places leveling blocks under the drivers side rear wheels to lift the back up enough to clear the cement. It is not a pretty sound when it scrapes! When we first brought the rig home, not knowing for sure how we would do this, it took about 15 - 20 min to get it parked. Jerry now has it down to a science where we can get it parked in under 6 minutes.
When we first left for Arizona, we found that parking the rig in our driveway with a full tank of gas is not a good idea! Since then we have learned many other helpful things, and now that we are home we have several ideas of how to make our rig more efficient and livable and yes, lighter!
