Finally! The coach has arrived and it’s Big and Beautiful, Big Allegro Bus, Bad A$$ Bus!
BABs is now her name.
A short drive from the dealer to a local campground, Rancho Jurupa, and we are able to maneuver BABs into a great spot, right next to a cute little lake. There are lots of wildlife around, which is nice, but, there’s always a “but” huh? Well, the second night I stepped out with Grayce, our Labrador retriever, not on a leash. Just for a moment, just enough time for Grayce to go chasing full speed through the darkness and right to the “back door” of a skunk! Yikes! Like nothing we have ever experienced, and in our new coach. So much for that new coach smell! Phew!

Turns out that a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and a little dish soap helps a lot. The tomato juice treatment doesn’t really help!
Lesson One: Never, ever let the dog off the leash unless all, and I mean ALL, distractions and risks are accounted for!
FYI, the skunk photos here are from our “wildlife cam”, a motion activated trail cam that was set up underneath our jeep where I accidentally spilled some pet food. I figured sometime during the night my mess would magically be cleaned up. I was right!
