The South West, with the kids

[UKCraig]

Glad to hear you had a great time (despite the mishap with the hose!!)

Hi dutchdavey, welcome back !

Thanks for popping in and updating us, it's great that you enjoyed your trip.

and since they didn't rent kids bikes, we bought two for $45 each from Walmart, donating them to the Usery Mountain Park in Phoenix when we left, doubtless they will give them to a good cause.

I am sure they will, a wonderful thought.

Yeah, I heaved open the black valve with great gusto and a little impatience (it was 40 deg C and the wife and kids were already in the pool)

Next thing I knew, the wormclip gave it up and I thought the Hoover dam had burst..

Only a halfhour earlier, on arrival at the Oasis in LasVegas, I had been required to buy a ring for my sewage hose (mandatroy there for all rental RVs), to prevent 'those unpleasant odours'.

Well, that ring had it's work cut out, I can tell you..

Such a shame that you didn't get chance to change out of your clothes before you ended up in your own, erm, pool... still, at least it would have given the others on the campground something to talk about!
