timkelco Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 (edited) Well, Robert, the "bribe is sure tempting, but with the kids and your age you definitely violate the Covenants..... What a bummer, we would love to see you guys. However, you CAN stay next door in Bentsen Palm, and it is quite nice. Rocky and Sheri stay over there so you would not be "alone". Come and play with us as much as you want..... Bentsen Palm was our fall back(if their not full). We have some good friends who stayed there for a winter and spoke highly of the park. I can still bring a flag if you would like. Just need sizes.

D Davena & Henry: If you are visiting the McCalls in Columbus, I'm sure they'll point you to El Paso on Hwy 9 instead of going back up to Deming and I-10. Hwy 9 is a real smooth two lane blacktop on which you may see only Border Patrol vehicles. Say hello to Gene & Pat for LaVila & me. Travel safe and we look forward to seeing you when you get to the Valley.

Henry, I'm not sure if you received my email, about the light on the rear of your cab, if not I will resend. Margie and I really enjoyed Mardi Gras, for the last time for a while. After we are finished here with Dr. appointments and parades, we are heading west, then North to Alaska, maybe by next summer. We love this retirement thing, we were in FL for over 5 months.

Hi Mike, I'm getting ready (Apr or May) to move our 5er up to Voyager at Juniper Ridge in Slow Low. We are buying Chris and Stans lot #469 and plan to leave the rig there year round. AliceMae is going to love the park as she can ride her electric wheelchair all over the place. I'll be scouting out my new hunting areas in my Land Crusier. Would like to stop in and meet you in Congress. Later RW P.S. I still have the Pressure Pro system in the box you shipped it in. Know of a buyer?

SKP040224 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Stop on over Robert, I'll be here until May 1st. I'm glad your getting out to a park.... Suggest putting your PressurePro system on For Sale section, you'll get a buyer. I get a call every once in a while for a used system, but not often. However I don't handle anything but NEW Latest MODEL's......... Take care!

topgashd Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well we headed out of Montana on Thursday. Made it about 150mi then stopped in a rest area for replacing the pins on the towbar and a light duty welding repair to my bumper from a previous mishap. Then traveled on to Albany,MN to spend the night. Almost made 590mi for the day. Friday we left Albany,MN and made it almost out of the Twin cities when our accident occurred, we then drove on to Tuscola, IL making a little over 620mi for the day. Today we are having a "Jack" day we gathered up out FL112 and 5er in Tuscola and made it to Benton, IL making a whopping 142mi for today. We now have some "Plumbing" issues with the 5er so we are enjoying another "Suite" night. Tomorrow we will make it to the I-24 campground in Smyrna, TN where we will stay for 1 month and I have a long honey-do list on our 5er to take care of BEFORE the DW will let me work.

Jim Gehlen Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Leaving Las Vegas tomorrow. 3/16 for CA and I have to remember to slow down to 55 at the border as I don't want to incite the CHP into any contests. Sure don't like going there but have to see the kids and kidlets every couple of yrs. Figure to be in or around San Luis Obispo and Vacaville area for about a week each place and a couple of days in the Fresno area if we can find a place to park.

Jim Gehlen Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 On the road again this AM. Leaving Vacaville, CA and heading east on I-80 thru Sacramento, REno and points EASt. Just watching the weather along the I-80 & I-90 corridors. Too early to be going back into the Black Hills but someone has to be first I guess.
