You will miss seeing Tom on the trip Tom always liked you stopping to see him and Doreen. Doreen sold off all their property and equipment since Tom passed away and now lives In Kingman

I always enjoyed Tom. That was a neat place they had and wandering through his equipment boneyard was like a history lesson.

The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you.
Its the last thing but its still on the list.

We're gonna try and follow through with building an addition to the little shelter we got there in Tok which means when we run a large U-Haul truck up there next time we won't have the bus but can get by for what we have established there so far. We love the summers up there and like Anderson - Tok has no real estate taxes so we pay zilch while we're not there. that round trip last year cost us $8000 for fuel which will be about the same for the truck rental and fuel for it but going forward we can elect to fly for much less than fuel.

We're hoping to do our very first trip in the bus around the end of June to attend the Old Time Fiddler's contest in Weiser ID. It's about 300 miles from home. Shouldn't be too bad. I almost have all the house power components completed.

That is a good event we been going off and on for 25 years food is good entertainment is better at fair grounds at night the contest is a little boring.Hope you a have spot to park and the AC is working because it can get hot in Weiser and parking can be tough to find,we never had trouble parking we parked the wife's sisters house and walked a block

We are returning to Alaska for the second time this year. This fall we are headed to Alabama for a rally. Planning to be worth 0 at death. With higher fuel prices will have to die a little earlier.

That is hilarious luvrbus! Our friends that we're going with said that the fun starts after the contest, and that the contest is a little boring! We do have reservations with 50 amp spots for each of us (my friends have a '98 Country Coach). No other connections though, but we should be ok.
