Title: Coincidental Eagle Sighting
Post by: Lin on July 18, 2011, 07:12:50 PM
Some may remember that last September, while we were enjoying Mike's hospitality in Utah, I posted about a beautiful, blue Eagle with a slide-out that we saw on a lot in St George.  Well, yesterday evening we pulled into a Forest Service campground near Walker, Ca. and parked next to an Eagle.  I told my wife that it really looked familiar, and we agreed that it looked like the same one.  When I saw the owner outside, I asked him, and he confirmed that it was.  He has had it since January and has used it pretty regularly.  It still looks great.  In spite of the fortune that was spent building it, and the many hundreds of thousands that the seller wanted for it, it eventually sold for under 150k.  This is way out of my range, but certainly a deal for what it is since it was completely rebuilt from the ground up including a Series 60 and Allison 6 speed.  I seem to remember that Clifford was very familiar with this one (as he seems to be with all of them).

We were thinking of going to Walker.  Were is this camp ground? We haven't seen much in the area that we can get the 40' into.

This is the one we stopped at.  It is right on Hwy 395.  There is another one a couple of miles north that I was told was similar.  Half price with Senior pass.

Yup, Van, that's the one.

Don, maybe I forgot to paste it.  You may have to cut and paste the whole link to make it work.
