Yes! A very nice park. Spent a year there before beginning our journey.

I don't know, seems all those beets have him all riled up....Smile
We're almost home in Paincourtville for the winter. We'd be interested in Florida coast maybe. Then we plan to head out in late March probably either I-10 or I-20 west.

We finished the sugar beet harvest October 20th, and left that same morning after our last shift. The first night we stayed in Forsyth, MT, then the next night we made it to Bozeman, MT.....a very cool, hip university town by the way.....spent two nights and are now back at Fairmont Hot Springs where we met up with Tom and Darlene in late September for a day....soaking away the soreness from the sugar beet harvest.....hour long massages come tomorrow, Thursday, at Noon.....life is good!

Did you guys happen to eat at a local Pizza Place with micro beers called McKenzie River?

We have eaten at one of their places in Spokane, and in Missoula, but that was at least a month ago. We like their pizza, and they usually have a good selection of craft beer.

We moved on from Fairmont Hot Springs after a delightful two days soaking in the hot springs, and getting massages to Idaho Falls, ID where we overnighted in the Walmart parking lot there. Had I known the overnight low was going to be 25 degrees I would have checked in at the Snake River RV Park Tom's friend owns, but the forecast was for 35......usually when I dry camp in temps under 50 degrees I start the generator and turn on the block heater for an hour before starting the 6V92. Well, apparently 25 degrees the generator wont' start....not sure why, but it wouldn't fire....it turned over just fine.....my batteries were at 89%, so there was plenty of juice. So, I went to plan B and pulled out my 1,000 watt Honda generator and plugged the block heater directly into it.....fortunately it handled the 9 amp draw just fine, and after 50 minutes I was able to start her up.

We moved down to Ogden, UT Saturday and are staying in a Passport America park for two nights at $13.50/night while we visit Antelope Island State Park, and Ogden old town, then on to my brother's home about 60 miles from here to redo the flooring, remove the couch and build a work station.

Life is good!

Clarke, on all of the generators I have owned, there is a momentary switch on both the generator and dash that for a few seconds heats the intake air for the generator. If you do not have on on the dash, perhaps there is one on the generator itself.
