Hi everyone.  Thanks for the great wishes. 

My birthday was also announced on the Eagles website (http://www.eaglesinternational.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1694&p=13353#p13353).  Since I am tired from our trip, I will paste my comments from that site here.

Thanks for the kind wishes everyone.

First, Clifford, it is 50 years too late for the hair fairy (was going bald when I was 18 

As was noted, we were traveling home from the Eagle Rally in Custer, SD. We spent last night in Chugwater, WY. That was kind of nostalgic. In the mid '70s we joined a guest ranch just east of Wheatland, WY. Was a ton of fun and we have a lot of fond memories. We were early members and to get people to go to the ranch, they ran a *****EAGLE***** bus to the ranch each weekend. The bus used to stop in Chugwater to get meat for the meals. Unfortunately, today, Chugwater is almost a ghost town.

I am trying to find a picture of that bus. Maybe that was what got this whole mess started in the first place  . For the historians, the ranch manager was Marv Roberts. He was also the driver of the bus and took a liking to it. He did all of the maintenance and repairs on it. He later went on to start Sundance Coach (bus conversion company). His first shop was in Casper, WY. I found this reference last night: http://www.rvtechstop.com/articles/sundnc.pdf. Pretty old article.

Our bus did great and I now have the charge air cooler heat problem under reasonable control. Makes driving much more fun.

I have more details about our travels on my blog (link in my signature).

A happy birthday to you.  Hope for you to have many more.  You are bearing down on being a Leo.  But will you ever make it?
