We're in Arizona, arrived Wednesday Sept 28th

We made good time.  We left Jefferson City, MO on Monday 9/26 at 9:00am.  We made it as far as El Reno, OK the first night.  That's just west of Oklahoma City by about 20 miles.  Then on Tuesday we got as far as Albequerque. On Wednesday we drove on to Benson, AZ and got to Kartchner's Caverns about 3:45p.  Not without an issue, however.  If you'll remember on our way to Minnesota back in May we about lost our bikes off the back of our 5th wheel in Des Moines.  Well.....we made it all the way to Benson and just as we were getting ready to take the exit off the highway Dale noticed the bikes were coming loose.  We didn't have a good place to pull over so we were just saying our prayers that  the bikes didn't fall off and  do damage to vehicles behind us.  God was smiling on us.  After exiting we pulled off on the shoulder and Dale went to access the problem.  Well much to his surprise the whole ladder was about to fall off...it was just hanging on by one little screw, flopping back and forth with the bikes on it.  So we took off the bikes and the ladder and put them inside the trailer so we could drive the remaining 10 miles up to the caverns.  We managed to drive 1385 miles with no problems.  I guess we were very lucky.  So we've decided to get a new ladder and give the bikes to Goodwill.  They have been nothing but trouble and we've only used them once or twice.  I guess they are just too heavy for that ladder.
