Upon arriving at Cynda & Marcel’s home, we got situated in their driveway, although there was a fair amount of brush swiping the coach as we backed in. And to get far enough back so that some of the tree branches weren’t blocking our door, Chris had to climb up the ladder on the back of the coach and hold one of the sturdier branches up and out of the way while I backed up the coach another 5 feet or so.

The day before we arrived, Cynda had mentioned possibly going out to dinner, but we gladly accepted their offer of a number of Persian dishes leftover from a group they’d had over the night before. We had a nice evening catching up and sharing photos and stories of our current trip and their very recent Colorado River rafting trip.
