August 28th Off to Yuma, well not really!

We arrived at the dealership at 0800, by and hour and a half, we had completed changing out the coaches, then we had to wait for the payoff check to arrive, then at 1030, we left headed for Yuma.  We were motoring along, and after about an hour and a half, we noticed the road was closed, and they were forcing everyone to exit.  Turns out a few miles down the road, a car had flipped, and a truck ran into it, and then there were 7 other cars involved.  They advised us it would be 3-8 hours before the Interstate would be open.  

I 8
    [IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA]
    IS CLOSED TO EASTBOUND TRAFFIC 1 MI WEST OF THE JCT OF SR 98 (IMPERIAL CO)
- DUE TO A VEHICLE FIRE - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE So, we turned around and headed back. They put us up in a hotel for tonight, since we couldn't take possession of the coach, This is the fifth night in a hotel! We will go to the sales part tomorrow first thing to resign the paperwork for the 29th date, then the convoy will start. We went to McDonalds for dinner.

We did finish loading up the new coach, but we will be unloading and sorting for many hours to come.
