May 29th

We made it back from the dunes in one piece.  We are both doing great, and working on getting things ready for our Alaska trip.  Right now we are spending time at our son's house.  Our storage trailer is here so it makes it nice to be able to get things out and store stuff too.
The last couple of days I have been busy getting a few things fixed here in the coach or should I say  making them better.  First and foremost clean the out side of the rig and getting rid of some of that road grim.  Then we put a cover over the bathroom vent to help protect the vent.  Then with the two dogs I put some Plexiglas on the bottom half of the screen door to keep the dogs from jumping up on the screen and braking them down.  Not bad, getting my list worked down.  Next was to get the RZR cleaned up real good before parking it at Janice & Jeff's place for the next 3 months in their garage. This way when we come bach in late August it will be ready for the trip down to the desert.  Lets see getting things done.
Work on the truck is almost done,  Had new rear heavy duty shocks installed by Les Schwab, its nice when you get the life time warranty on shocks it never cost anything to have them replaces when bad.  I am thinking about having air bags added also, if everything goes right I should have them here from Amazon by Monday.  The first ones I ordered were prefect for the truck, except if you have a Reese 5th-wheel hitch then you needed this other one.  Again I am happy that I order things through Amazon, when things are not right they take care of them ASAP.
Tomorrow, we are going to finish moving stuff into the rig for the caravan trip.  Then we are meeting some old friends at our favorite Chinese restaurant here on South Hill Puyallup.  It is amazing how many of our friends want to meet when we are in town for just a few days. We will do our best but can't keep everyone happy.
Sunday more packing so that we can head out Monday with a few stops along our way to Great Falls, MT.  Hope we get to see everyone along the way, if not maybe next time.
