Back Home

Well, we had a great time in Gulf shores. Caught up with many friends, especally JB & Bev and Fred and Judy. RVing really is fun. We had great food, lots of fun and our dogs all got along good. That really is fun, The pups are great to have around and we all take a interest in them. It's quite amazing. BeBe has grown up into a wonderful little friend, spoiled as possible, but who's fault is that? hah

After Gulf Shores we went to Bay St. Louis, MS for a couple of days. Mary got to play some games for fun and I got to go to the buffet for lunch. Went for a long ride along the coast road and saw much devastation from katrina still present. I'm not sure I understand why things are not being rebuilt. maybe lack of Insurance. Very sad that area should be a popular as Florida, beautufl beaches, etc. But no places to eat, pubs nothing to draw anyone to the aera. I'm not even sure if there was anything there before Kartina. Not a lot that's for sure. Attached a few pics for you viewing. Met up with friends Fred and Judy there, spent some quality time.. great folks.

Then we went to, where else, Red Bay to have a bit of work done on our motorhome. Nothing serious. We were to have front end protection film added, but couldn't get it done due to time. We did add power shades in the front end. Best thing we could have done. They are great. no more curtains. Had that done at Tiffin. Couldn't get brannon H. to respond at all. Done with him, if you can't do something, just tell me, do not ignore me. Very dispeased with him ands will not go back. No reason to.
Having it done by Tiffin, we have some warranty and someone to fall back on.
We did have the M2 service done on the engine and chassis at Bay Diesel in Red Bay. Very good service and reasonably priced.
Headed home from there, about a 1000 mile drive. Spent on night on route in south ILL at a very nice spot called Wittington woods. The drive between there and madison, WI waas pure he*l, it was so windy we had to stop a number of times since we felt like we were going to get blown off the road. Stopped at a KOA just past madison. Itr was ok, nothing more. A typical KOA, clean and well kept, but a bit expensive. Made it home the next day. trip went with no problems other than a dead toad battery.
