Gated community

When our house sold, we had an estate sale and moved things we wanted to keep into a storage unit nearby. Once we had cleaned things up, we loaded up the motor home and got ready to move back onto the road. When we tried to move one of the slides back, the motor did not want to do the job. So we unloaded that entire part of the coach, and I pulled on the slide while HW2 pushed the button, and we finally got the slide back in. As a result, instead of heading south, we crossed the Missouri River into Iowa and went to Leech's RV Sales where in the past we had work done on the coach. The good folks took pity on us and hooked up our coach so that we had power and water and kindly let us stay on site while things were investigated and fixed. They even gave us a gate key so that when the site was locked at night, if we had an emergency, we could unlock the gate and leave. Kim V. announced to us that we now lived in a gated community. That assessment was accurate and very funny.

Yesterday, the needed motor for the slide arrived from Indiana and was installed so that now the slide moves in and out without me pushing or pulling or unloading that part of the coach. Once the Direct TV man arrives this morning to try to get that system fully functioning, we will be on the way. We may even get to Kansas City or points further south. Happy travels! Happy Wanderings!

Happy for you, sad for us. Den talked about you first thing this morning. I don't know what he's going to do without you!
