06/14/18 - Got up this morning at 6 20 am since I was unable to sleep knowing that I was leaving Phoenix.  I finished some things on the inside and then dismantled the water, sewage, and electric.   By the time, I got the car hooked up it was already 100 degrees and 8 20 am.  I noticed that a light was on the stated I still had a jack down (leveler) so went to check and everything was all tucked in so decided to take off .  I didn't even get out of the park before something started to beep and when I hit a bump I thought it stopped but no it had to keep going but I knew everything was OK.  Well, I listened to that beep for 167 miles and some of it was slow since I had to climb 7000 feet to Flagstaff.  The engine did try to overheat but I have learned to downshift to cool her down and also just follow the semi trucks and go slow.  We made it just fine.  I then stopped at a rest area for lunch and worked on trying to find out why my little water pump on demand does not want to work.  I also decided to put all the levelers back down on the payment until I was ready to leave to see if the beeping would stop.  Well, the beeping stopped (thank goodness) but the water  pump is still not working.  I also stopped for gas.  Since I lost an hour and it was 316 miles, I decided to stop at Gallup, New Mexico for the night.  I just got parked when a rain storm came in with a little wind but  did not last long.  It is 85 degrees with a breeze!  No more sweating for me.  Now, I need to run the car a little, go to Walmart to see if they will let me fill a container for water for the night.
