Richard took such good care of #390 that even with me driving it made it 540 miles to it's new home without any issues.....even with me fiddling with the switches and buttons.

Rhonda posted a fitting tribute to our six years in Jr. In her blog. Wersquared.wordpress.com. She's a good writer and it's a quick read. I wish similar good times for Bob and Diana

From one newbie to another, a BIG welcome. It's a steep, and according to Bill, a rather long learning curve We have now just about a week under our belts, or in our heads and it's a lot. I heard that you can teach an old dog new tricks but that it takes longer. We're still figuring out all the buttons and systems, unlearning from previous coach, Allegro Bus, and learning all that's new with our Newell. Currently camped on the banks of the Mississippi River in West Memphis, AR at the Tom Sawyer Mississippi River RV Park. If you're traveling I-55 or I-40 through Memphis, I would recommend stopping here.

That is a pretty nice place to stay. Been there a couple of times now. Big easy access. Probably gets a little hot in deep summer, as there's minimal trees. Also, don't let the drive in scare you. It's a little rough, but manageable and the sites a all very easy to get in and out of.

Gary,
I often stay at that park. Its kinda scary the first time in...not sure you are going the right way...but now I am old hand at it. I love watching the boats go up and down the river. I often stay up way to late watching the barges. That open field to the left is just right for running the dogs.
Have fun!
