They took the exciting drive to the farm yesterday---every one who has been here knows what I mean. Their new coach is really sharp!!! We got the grand tour. Their new coach is a year before ours and we have already noticed many differences. Had a nice visit & dinner together last evening. We're going to work on his water pump problem today.

8500 miles in the Newell on my trip and the only "accident" happened in making my way to Steve's remote resort - Ha!

Don't scare people Russ. It was just a junction box that was hanging below the coach. Needed a redo anyway.

Hey, no problem. Just follow my tracks through the ditch and you'll miss that post by at least 2 inches!

62 feet makes it easy and gives you practice for the trip out.

I was talking with a gal this morning in the Northern part of Louisiana and she said with an accent "southern Louisiana is different. They are just really laid back people who are really nice and their food is awesome".

We have had time to give Forest & Cindy a tour of the area that has included Branson & Eureka Springs. Last evening they cooked their favorite for a good ole Cajun dinner of Gumbo & Key Lime pie. Off my diet I went as it was wonderful!
Suzy & I have thoroughly enjoyed our new Newell friends. Since their coach is so similar to ours we have been able to go over some of the systems.

darlene and i have been lucky enough both have forest and cindy stay at our home in their coach and for us to spend a few days staying with steve and suzy at their beautiful RV park of one spot next to their house.
both have helped me tremendously on doing things with our coach, but more importantly we had an absolute ball with them are blessed to call them friends.
