I had a wonderful summer with lots of activities with family and friends. I made several short trips without the RV to do some of the visiting (NYC, Harrisburg, Shamokin, Maryland, Ohio). Then I sold my Jeep and got ready to get 'on the road again.' Thanks to everyone who helped make the summer so delightful.
First, I have to tell about how the door on this vehicle (there's only one) can actually be locked without a key and then closed from the outside. Hunh, who knew?! The Jambo was unable to do that. While I was loading the George, I closed the door as I went out, and then couldn't get back in. Both sets of keys were inside. Imagine that!! I called some friends who had motorhomes to see if their keys would work (most all are similar), but, alas, they didn't. I thought I would be calling AAA for assistance when a hero used a stepladder, opened the driver's side window, dove in, and opened the door from the inside. I now have a hide-a-key available from the outside.
I began the new journey by spending the first night in a Walmart parking lot in western Ohio. The next day I arrived in Wisconsin. After a couple of days of visiting there, I headed to Iowa for the NOMADS annual meeting. It was great to get together with those with whom I've worked and to meet new friends. We had fun activities, seminars, and lots of food.
I was able to stop in Kansas for a brief visit with family and then made it to Gore, OK. I will be here at the UM Boys Ranch for three weeks. I was here last year. Right now the team is busy painting. Then there will be lots of baking and getting ready for the rodeo. yeeehaaww
