We all know this year, 2020, will go down as one of the most memorable, simply because everyone’s life has been upended one way or the other by the Covid-19 pandemic. We didn’t let that stop us, though, from allowing our long-in-the-making plans come to fruition. But first, a quick update on Madeline and Rachel.

Thank you for following Riveting Journey’s blog! When it comes to building this website, I’m a “Jack (or Jill) of All Trades, Master of None” ~ meaning that quirky things happen behind the scenes with this website that sneak up on me and can take me a little while to solve since I don’t know why they occur!

You might not have received a notification on the last couple of blogs that have been posted because of a widget on our website dropping out. I have fixed this, so I thought I’d post a quick note to you, hoping that you will receive notification of it in your email.

I apologize for this brief intrusion on your day, but I hope you will enjoy our two latest posts: Our Stay at “Unhenge Park”! and To Fall In Love With A Rainforest.

If you have not yet subscribed to our website, I invite you to follow RivetingJourney.com. Enter your email address under “Follow Us” in the sidebar to the right, and you will be notified of blogs as they are posted. We will loan, sell, or use this list for any other purpose.

Again, thank you for following our travels around the U.S.!

Installing the two 6v Trojan Golf Cart batteries, which are heavy as heck, is a chore at best. I had to put the battery box on the tongue, grab the strap and hook up a battery, hoist it up and over the weight bars adjustment towers and maneuver into the box.  After that, do it again.

After hooking up all the loose wires from the solar set up, I flipped the switch and watched as the meter came to life and shortly started showing amps and volts going into my batteries. SUCCESS for sure.

This website is currently under construction (started by Karen on May 14, 2019). She is not a WordPress aficionado by any stretch of the imagination, so don’t be surprised if you see odd things as she learns through trial and error!
