Tugg-n-Ridley Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 omg Steve....we were in Blackrock last night and attended the nighttime lighting of Mt Rushmore. But today, to my dismay, we are in NE and using the AC for the first time since May...at least we know it still works. Vern...what's up with the surgery? Gordon!!! You washed your truck????? I can't believe you broke down and washed your brown truck, lol We washed both Tug and Ridley in Canada but the jacks need some soaking, it is like cement caked on them.

I can't believe you broke down and washed your brown truck, lol We washed both Tug and Ridley in Canada but the jacks need some soaking, it is like cement caked on them. Tomorrow I'm actually going to detail the inside of the truck!! The 17 year old son of park owners will wash our fiver before we leave Port Orford...getting the rest of the Alaskan mud, dust and bugs removed. Otherwise we are just resting up here before heading on down to eastern Utah. I washed all the mud from the jacks in Bellingham and left a pile of debris there! You two take care and we will see you in the RGV sometime in December. We're really enjoying all that fish now!! By the way, US Customs didn't ask for my fishing license...I had it ready.

Vern & Sue Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Diane and John, Thanks for asking about Vern's surgery. He has recovered so well, the pain is gone, the numbness is much less too. He is walking alot, can't ride his bike yet which bothers him, but he is enjoying walking. He is able to drive, although we have to stop every hour or so to let him move around some. We are currently in Bay City MI, saying goodbyes to his family and friends. We are at the State Park here, which is very nice. Leaving here on Tuesday, although we won't go far. We will continue to hang around west MI, waiting for the closing on my Mom's house. Once we have money in hand, we are headed to Indiana for new tires, a new couch, and hopefully get the Splendide fixed, I miss not having the washer!! With the leaves and the temperatures falling, we are anxious to head to the RGV, so will see y'all soon.

lindewoman Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hello, Classmates. Seems many of you will be wintering in south Texas. We haven't decided yet what is next for us. Right now we have a commitment to do FEMA inspections in the wake of Gustav and Ike. We are in Louisiana Bayou country after having spent a while in New Orleans first. "Nawlins" didn't take severe damage, but the folks out in the bayous could ill afford the damage they received. We will be in the Florida Keys in January working on NOMADS projects, but since we are so close, it sounds nice to come down and visit the winter Texans first...

Dragonthreads Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Hello All, and welcome back to the lower 48 Gordon and Juanita. The past month has been hectic to say the least. Moto Sat Repairs in Pigeon Forge, TN then came to Myrtle Beach, SC. Here I spent the first week in the VA Hospital in Charleston. Foot infection and had to have the bone in one toe removed. But, up and running, will get stitches out Monday and Tuesday we leave for Florida for a month or so. We will winter in Q again this year. Look out, La Posa South, here we come!!!!

Two Hams hope you are enjoying your new lifestyle. Dick Dick, It's good to hear that you are on the mend and are planning on getting down the road soon. We are leaving Port Orford, OR, on Sunday and really don't know yet where we're going from here. We still plan to check out Arches and Canyonlands in Utah, but our route to that destination is up in the air. I don't particularly want to travel I-80 or Hwy 50 through Nevada, so it looks like we may take a more northerly route through southern Idaho. We'll see. We plan to stop in DFW to see Two Hams and other friends before heading further south to our winter grounds in the RGV. We are also thinking about going east in the spring before returning to Idaho for May-June and the Oregon coast from late June through September. Our plans are always changing though, so who knows.

Actually, we just imagine the apartment is a luxury Class A with 3 1/2 times the square footage as our Airstream; and, parked in a really nice RV resort for an extended time ! When we get hitch-itch, we plan to see what Amtrak has on sale; or, even suffer airline travel. Dick, so sorry to hear about the foot surgery! Hope the healing is fast and the pain minimal! So far, (knock on wood) I'm avoiding any cutting on my feet. . .I get orthopedic shoes next week; so, maybe they will keep the faith. My Dallas VA podiatrist is really good. Haven't met with the orthopedic surgeons yet; but, I am scheduled for Carpal Tunnel surgery on both hands sometime in November; but, people say that isn't any big deal. I finally got in to the Dallas VA Diabetic Clinic; and, I really like my new doctors there. Gordon, we are excited about seeing you and Juanita when you head thru the DFW area. Give us lots of advance warning so we can diet real hard before we all go out to eat here. A person can do themselves real harm at all the fine eating establishments near us. . .we got 'em all!!!!

scubadave Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Currently in Hutchinson, KS for the next week. A Heavy Duty Tow Vehicle Rally. About 40 or so of the proper size trucks for towing large fifth wheels IMHO . From here we will be traveling to Blountstown, FL to spend the winter. Anyone going through and stopping near Marianna, FL let us know and perhaps we can meet. We will be there from Oct 15 till about March 15 at the Panhandle Pioneer Settlement doing part time maintenance type work for a free site (www.ppsmuseum.org). Should be lots of fun.

Maybe we should try for a '06 get together in Port Orford next summer......me thinks that sounds COOL.

Night temperatures will be in the mid twenties for the next few nights...maybe we should have started out sooner. We look forward to seeing a few of you in the RGV this winter and can already taste the Texas BBQ! We will also try to bring in plenty of fresh fish and Dungeness crab for folks passing by our summer digs in Port Orford next year. Safe travels everyone....

Jeff & Suzanne Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Barb and Dave - if you remember Roy Rogers and Dale Evans fondly, you'll love the Roy Rogers Museum in Branson - not too expensive and well worth it! We also bought a ticket to the stage show with Roy's son (who looks a lot like Roy) and thoroughly enjoyed that as well.
