Just as we make it to the highway, we pass about a zillion trucks all flashing their lights and driving very slowly ... must be some fund raising event. Wish we knew what for.
29.10.11 Heifer Creek Rest Area (with the puppies)
Glenn went to buy a roof rack for his ute as he’s found a shop that has an opening special that would save him $60. Why wouldn’t you give that saving a thumbs up? This means we don’t end up leaving home till 0930, and the day is overcast. Hopefully no rain to come. Bureau says fine, fine, fine … let’s hope so.
01.10.11 Spring Gully Stays - Puppies Big Day Out
So this time Glenn wanted to go somewhere close. I wanted to take the puppies with us. So Spring Gully Stays it is. Mostly because we think River Bend Camping will be completely packed and Flanagan’s is “a bit far” for this weekend.
We hit the road in a timely fashion, some puppies loaded in my car, and the camper in tow with his puppy in his car. I know a bit of overkill, but that’s how you get 3 dogs to said location without much drama. He connected up his CB and I switched on my handheld and away we go. Wish it had been this easy back when I was tailing my parents around the countryside, but instead we used the old light flash for the car behind or the simply pull over for the car in front, ensuring we had a plan prior to leaving. So much easier to chat about things driving along when one has a CB.
