Left Wood Dale on Monday morning at 8:00 a.m. after a stay of 5 nights with Patrice and Paul.
We had a great time and say THANK YOU again!
Motorhome was picked up from the shop on Saturday, and all systems are go. The suspension (or lack thereof) is definately an issue with this coach. The state of our highways is just too much for it. We have now replaced the starter motor twice on this trip (in 5000 miles), and still have 2000 to go. Thank God for the extended service contract. The rough ride was also the cause of the circuit board going bad on the slideouts. I will look into upgrading the shocks when we get home.
Arrived in Welcome Minnesota about 5:30 p.m. The office at the campground would make my old desk (when I used to work) look good. Papers everywhere piled up about a foot deep. I told the lady that we had a reservation, but filled out a new form anyway.
Saw some pretty good fall colors crossing Wisconsin, but now we are back to basic flat corn fields.
It was in the mid 70's and sunny when we got here, but began raining about 9:00 p.m. It rained so hard overnight, that it woke us up a couple of times. You can really hear the rain on the roof in the motorhome. With some luck, we will not hear rain too often as we don't plan on being where the rain is. The plan is to follow the sun as much as possible.
So, today we are exploring Minnesota farm country, and tomorrow it's off to South Dakota.

We cant wait to see you guys... Looking forward to having you guys home. Sheila
Glad you guys are safe and on the air again. I'm going to have withdrawals when you guys quit posting(which hopefully will not be for a while) I understand there may be a sequel.
Hope the sun shines on you the rest of the way....Diane
