| "no worries" |
Clem had disappeared during the process, and I finally found him chatting with the couple in the next coach. We discovered that they travel the country entering BBQ competitions as a hobby, and were picking up their new coach, which was a 2008, in pristine condition. They came over to wish us well, as we fired up with the "psshhhh" of the air breaks releasing! Wow....just like the truckers! I was dying to blow the air horn! The ride was smooth and quiet, and I was actually surprised when Clem announced only 20 miles to go! Good decision!
We caused quite a stir when we drove into the neighborhood to unload! Folks came out with tons of questions and wanted to see inside. Needless to say, the unloading took a bit longer than anticipated! But always fun to show it, and get folks reactions. As a light drizzle started, we took it to its storage spot where it will wait for us to take it to the Keys in a couple of weeks.
Who knew when we rented that RV last fall that it would open up this whole new world for us! There is so much to see in this country.....and this is such a neat way to see it, taking the house along, always assured of a clean room to spend the night, and a place to get a good meal. We have encountered lots of fun and interesting people, including full timers, retirees, hikers, fishermen, foreigners, craft people, and young families. In fact, the family accepting the coach right across from ours had 4 kids! The dad pulled out very early Sunday morning, and I would venture to guess that the kids were still asleep. I remember many times my Dad would wake my sister Kathy and I and tell us it was late and we had to get moving, only to find once dressed and on the road that it was only 5AM!
It has been another great adventure, and I have enjoyed your company...thanks for following along!
