You are not going to believe this, well that's not true, you old timers who have followed us for 130K in the MH will understand and just go, OH Gawd....

Left for a three to four week trip down the coast before kicking over to Yuma. Two weeks out Sue got a bad tooth ache. Decision was made to cut over to 5 and get to our dentist here in Yuma. The jacks would not go up, took some time but got it fixed with a little luck. Honda had to have four new tires not two because its full time all wheel drive. Camped at Visalia Elks and the right rear jack blew a seal. Made a temp repair. Got to Needles, Cal. Jacks would not come up, took 2 quarts of fluid to refill. While under there looking I found the right front shock absorber snapped off at the bottom knuckle, it was good two days before. Got to Yuma and last night did not feel good, ended up in ER where I again have kidney stones. Now sitting it out and waiting. Sue has to have a root canal and a crown. Life on the road is just so good. Actually lucky Sue had the bad tooth or we would have been on the road somewhere and I cannot drive until I pass that little puppy due to the pain pills...

Other than that is was a fine trip down...

BIgDog, I am pretty much good for anywhere to get back together but we need to keep it simple as I stated earlier. THe only time I cannot do it is Aug. 11/16th of 2015. I am Rally Master at Whispering Firs that weekend for a Rally with the other group and a river float. I will be back in Btown in November around the 20th. Lets talk then.

Thanks Ryan, hope we can get some of the group together this summer. OH, almost forgot, I also poured spilled gin on my cell phone and it died. Waiting on a new one from Amazon now. Just was not our trip down, not to mention it rained from the time we left the coast until we were almost to Visalia, Cal..Then we got the lightning and thunder storm in Needles along with the rain. Lucky for us the majority of it passed over and dumped on Phoenix. I think they have had 10 inches of rain there this year. Unheard of. It has rained all around out place here in Yuma but almost no rain at our location..

Davig G. Could you, would you go in and change the title on this and lets see if we can get some interest in a informal gathering this Summer.

Bob, that should be a hint - better buy a better brand of gin! [emoticon]

Hope things get better and it would be nice to get together again. We go to Cle Elum for a week every summer for the Croatian picnic which is a lot of fun and would make for a nice rally weekend .

We are now on the last leg of a trip to Oregon for the past month. Will arrive home tomorrow for our annual fall Elks roundup.

Yep, would love to get together and visit a bit. We just got back from getting our awnings repaired from wind damage in the Tri-Cities in August. See more here. Another adventure in RV travel ends successfully. We are now in the last few weeks countdown to starting our adventure going south to AZ. We leave October 25.

Okay Bob, I have changed the topic of this thread. Those of you that are subscribed to it will see the change in your email subject line. Since I don't know where we might be next year, we can't commit to anything at this point, but we'll definitely come to the gathering if we are in the area. Tradewinds is going to play leader and organizer for the gathering, so give him your support as you did for Laura and I.

Dick,I may have have asked you this before,but did you ever know a family in Cle Elum named Ramaker ? She was my first grade teacher in Olympia.
On another subject, we're heading for Leavenworth this coming week and will probably be stopping in Cle Elum for lunch and need to know a good local place.
