Jeff & Suzanne Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Don't know for sure when we're leaving Nac, but we'll give you a call and plan on staying a night at 5 star on our way back. We're staying at 5 Star RV Park on the north side. Easiest for us for appointments to get poked, prodded, syphoned, and zapped.

altsclmarm Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 After I spent the last month in a repair shop parking lot, I thought I was finally on my way to Anahuac NWR in Texas. After only 300 miles, the new residential fridge stopped working, so I'm stuck again.

Barbaraok Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 We feel your pain; there is nothing worse than getting something fixed only to have something else go on you. Hopefully this won't take a month to fix.

scubadave Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 It seams that at least for some of us this summer/fall is not a good time to travel. Earlier this summer we had a slide that stuck in the in position. Took 6 weeks and "lots" of money. Then this fall we had a tire blow and discovered that we needed new springs and equalizers on the trailer. A couple of days and "lots" more money for this one. Then two days later another blown tire so replaced all the old ones. Again "lots" of money but only a few hours loss travel time. Yesterday had an air leak in the truck that could have caused the breaks to fail. Less than an hour to get that fixed and relative speaking only a few bucks. Hope the rest of the trip south is much better.

Jeff & Suzanne Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ah. . .the smell of roasting flesh (compared to the coolness of Fall in Northern Illinois). We are now back in Texas at Camp Foretravel in Nacogodoches, or The Mother Ship as we Foretravel owners call it, for the annual coach maintenance and wallet lightening. Work begins Monday and we hope to be in Tyler, TX on Wednesday to see if Barb & Dave have any wine left from their Western travels. Then on to Texan RV Ranch in Mansfield for two months of reunion with Amanda & Robert and Madeleine, Jean-Luc, and our first meeting with our foreign exchange "grand daughter" Silja from Finland. Good times ahead!!!!!

So all of you are invited to join our little party...here is the link to the "official thread" Gathering in "Q" Just post on that thread if you will attend and send me a PM with your e-mail for any last minute notifications. Hope to see some of you even if for just a day.

lindewoman Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hello Class! Gail and Keith spent the past 3 months at a hosting position near a couple of families of grandchildren. Nice to spend the time with them and it was the best camp host job you can imagine We are planning to return to Lancaster OH next May. Anyone out there want the second half of their season? Now we are at a favorite COE Park--Alatoona Lake near Atlanta visiting family and on our way to Florida for this winter. Still looking for the ideal volunteer position to appear or maybe we will just veg along a beach all winter. Could be worse, huh? All those repairs being mentioned. Sure do hit the wallet, don't they? But remember, it is all our 'hard' living over the last 5 years causing these problems Hey, Steve. How are you doing? Miss hearing from you......

We look to be in Deming on the 30th - looks like we will probably pass each other somewhere out in West Texas on I-20. We'll have to catch up when you are back in Arizona in the spring.

Jeff & Suzanne Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Had a great lunch with Barb and Dave yesterday. We were part of the Occupy Hacienda Ranch movement and held on to one of their tables well into the afternoon. Such fun to get together with great friends! We'll have time to see them again before they head west.

lindewoman Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Is anyone planning to be in Florida this winter? Keith and Gail just got a dream "job". I know many of you can't figure out why any free-wheeling full-timers would confine themselves to just one place for several months in a row, but listen to this; we will be parked (free with full hookups) within view of a bay along the Atlantic, surrounded by mangrove forest. Across the bay we face a barrier dune with coral reefs beyond. It is one of the warmest places in the US in winter. We will be required to learn all about coral creatures, dune fields, the challenges of the Keys environment, and we will be required to meet with curious people and help them learn to snorkel, kayak, and understand this environment. We will be carefully trained so that we don't look like the fools we actually are. AND we must spend 3 days each week doing this heavy lifting. What's not to love Come visit us at Biscayne NP this winter if you are in the neighborhood. Gail and Keith Gail n Keith and Cocoa Puff the fuzzball 1999 Dutch Star with Cruze toad.

Barbaraok Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 We are now ensconced in site V107 of Mesa Spirit - long hard drive from West Texas was done in 3 days this year- - oh do I hate that drive! But we beat the wind, so that was a plus. We went to breakfast with Gordon and Juanita at Wildberry yesterday morning. We're set up for the winter - anyone coming through Mesa gives us a holler.
