Day in Flagstaff and Water Problem Fixed

Just as we were having a leisurely morning of watching the news and having breakfast prior to leaving for our day of errands in Flagstaff, we checked the phone and saw a message from the previous night. The message was from RV Country LLC, the mobile repair people that work this area. They said they received the parts for the retrofit of our water valve system and wanted to come up and do the install on Wednesday. You may recall the problem we had with the Zurn valves in our rig. They kept failing and causing a flood in our basement. Doubletree RV agreed to completely replace the valve system with a new, better version. So much for the leisurely morning. We scrambled to get ready to go to Flagstaff and we were on the road by 10 AM. RV Country would come and start the work and we would be back by the end of the afternoon.

This time we had the camera with us to take pictures of the two lakes that are on the way to Flagstaff from Happy Jack. The first one, going north, is Mormon Lake:

This lake should actually be called Mormon "Swamp" since it is mostly marsh right now. It is in a beautiful area though and we talked about the Mormon Lake Lodge, that is on the other side, in an earlier post. The second lake, Lake Mary, is much larger and much prettier:

This is a great boating and fishing lake. We have talked about getting an inflatable boat with an electric motor to take on our travels and we discussed it again while looking at this huge lake. We used to have one these (Sea Eagle) at our residence on Lake Tuck in Washington years ago. It was a lot of fun and easy to store.

We accomplished most of our planned errands: Bob's haircut, Josie's nails, food shopping, supplies at Sam's Club and Josie's prescription at Wal Mart. We headed home and got there a little after 5 and the RV Country people were just finishing up the install. They told us it was a joy working with the Doubletree people on this project. They described some recent horror stories while working with other manufacturers on other fixes for people. That says a lot about Doubletree and helps explain why they are still in business while a lot of other major RV companies are out of business. Anyway, we think that the fix will prevent any valve failures and flooding in the future.

Today we plan to take a ride on a couple of the Forest Service Roads that branch off the main road. Hopefully, we can get some pictures along the way.

That's it for now...
