HIGHWAY GUYS

Steve and Peter travel the roads of the U.S. in an RV (called The Beast). Steve is retired and disabled (mobility impaired) and Peter is his service dog. They started their adventure on September 11th ,2003. Home base currently is Los Angeles, California. On the road, they live in a 1993, 28 foot, Allegro Bay class A motor home. Their goal is just to enjoy the thrill of travel and exploration for as long as the Beast and their health allow.

050906 - MOSES LAKE, WASHINGTON

Sept 6,2005

Moses Lake, Washington

Today was a special day – at least for Peter – the opening of a fresh 40 pound bag of dog food. HE always gets so excited – like opening a fresh can of coffee – getting that scent of a freshly opened bag – thinking that the whole bag is for you in one sitting – trying to get his nose into the bag - oh the disappointment. But he got over it. He always does.

This RV resort is large and well organized. The grounds are grassy with paved interior roads. The weather is warm and comfortable so we are looking forward to a pleasant and relaxing week.

On Alternating night there are card or board games so we decided to try our hand at Bingo. It was a small group and Peter got bored and took a nap. A few games later, he seemed to take an interest in my card, and when I told him I hadn’t won yet, I got a card for him. He tends to be the lucky one in our group. Unfortunately, there were these two sisters, about 5 and 8 years old that wan quite a few games and frustrated most of the adults.
At the end of the night Peter was very upset when I told him how much of his Kibble allowance he had lost.

The park was half full when we arrived but by the time the labor day weekend was starting it was packed with many families taking advantage of the good weather, and the opportunity to use the lake for boating, water-skiing and jet skiing.

The adjacent sites had motor homes and tents for the kids to sleep in and tables set up to feed this Army. Fortunately, they, like many others stayed for Friday and Saturday and Sunday, and then were gone Monday morning – which was the actual holiday. I guess many have long trips home or want to beat holiday traffic. We didn’t mind. The park was as empty as when we arrived.


PASCO, WASHINGTON

As we check in, there is a notice taped to the counter stating that the following breeds of dog will not be allowed in the park. Among the list were Pitt Bull, Doberman, Rotweiler, Malamute, Chow and any form of wolf. It’s a good thing that Peter could not see the countertop because I’m sure he would have peed on the notice. I told him about it when we finally parked and he just smiled.
The park was pleasant and its just a stopover.
