Doug,
I was actually surprised how "off the grid" we were on our podyssey. We went a bit further west to the coast and up and back and had zero rain but a whole mess 'O wind going out. Ran the furnace most nights and mornings and the AC only for an hour or so in Potholes State Park in Washington. Just plain lucky. Stayed a night @ Donner Pass Memorial State park and had friends for dinner. (sorry, that was really bad). Doesn't sound like anything you can't fix and you all had a good time! You're planning the next one, so that's good! Next up......Crab Feast! fred

Crabs for us, too! We said early in the trip that we would get a few dozen once we got back. Maybe next weekend.
We hit a hard wind day on the way out in Kansas, around July 4th or 5th. That was only 1 of 2 white-knuckle days on the trip. The other was during the heavy downpours in the bad storm system that came through on our way home a few days ago. Even the big rigs were pulling over. I forgot to mention I was passed by a delivery of 3 new large-body pods on the way home. About 100 miles east of Elkhart. We passed several of the RV plants as we drove through - I should have scheduled a tour of the FR plant.

I don't think I mentioned on the forum that as we drove through St. Louis on July 4th, I saw a guy crawling over the railing next to the highway, over the river. It was obvious to me that he was thinking about jumping. My kids didn't notice so I made the decision not to call 911. With 100 cars a minute passing him SOMEONE was going to call. I hoped. If I had called then I would have to explain it to my kids. They are more than old enough to understand but I didn't want it to be part of their memory of this trip (I wish it wasn't part of mine but at least I didn't see him actually jump). I've felt guilty for not calling, but I hoped he was ok.
I finally got the nerve to search for any mention of it, and found this: http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/police-talk-would-be-jumper-off-musial-bridge/article_ab94eca1-ca67-5ff8-b4c1-5b373697515b.html A load off of my mind!
