We got up, packed and ready for our move, since we are only going about 100 miles, no hurry.  About

Our site for the next two weeks!

10:00 we fired up the Moho, hooked up the truck...no brakes.  We worked on that for a while then Brad finally found the part he needed but it didn't fit.  We pulled out of the site, parked along the road up at the office while he worked some more and finally got it to work and off we go. (that was caused by us dragging the air-line and ruining the plug).  The rest of the ride was uneventful except for a lot of construction, and we drove 20 miles out of our way to stop for fuel at a Flying J.  We arrived and were parked by 1:15.  We got settled in, walked Rudy then packed up the car and headed up to Shari's.  We took up burgers, wild boar sausage and 1 buffalo burger.  Salad, baked beans and short cake for dessert.  Shari's friends Dave, Julie and their daughter Holly showed up. We had a good time and headed back around 7:30

Luke with Golden RV Repair showed up at 9:00 to work on a list of repair items. He fixed the water bin door, the passenger side mirror, worked on the TV matrix, the fridge(no ice maker) and the item that started it all the roof A/C unit.  By lunch he had done all he could do without parts.  Needed to order parts call in a Audio/Video specialist and an appliance repair guy both of which we have to be paid separately.  He is trying to work with our warranty place but I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling about that.  We ended up giving him a $800.00 check for today and to order parts. But things are getting fixed and moving right along. Around 2:00 the Audio/Video guy stopped by to look at our TV box yep it is shot, $700.00 to replace but he recommends an upgrade for about $1400.00.   After that into town to the Chamber of Commerce and trip around town to check out some of the sites and  a stop at the Mexican restaurant for dinner. Their sign said best seafood in town Brad was so excited, but shrimp in a fajita wrap is not seafood to him let alone ("Best it Town).

Ice maker and AC fan removed!

Bagels for breakfast then wait for the appliance repair guy to call, he called at 8:30 to say he would be here between 10 and 12 so we waited. He got here about 11:00 work for about a hour we had to pull the frig all the way out (what a struggle) turns out there was a loose wire and a bad ice maker.  He has to order parts and will be back next week.  Diane is so excited about having the refrigerator sitting in the middle of the kitchen(not) and we did manage to get it pushed back in place which is very difficult since the wheels have been removed.  We drove over to Camping World looking for parts, what a zoo, couldn't find a place to park, they have gotten rid of all the hitch and towing supplies and replaced that with boat supplies, life vest, tow ropes etc.  That is why friends don't let friends go to Camping World.   We stopped and got some wraps and had left overs for dinner.

Got up to a beautiful morning, cool but sunny.  We decided to have breakfast on the grill for the first time in a long time, so sausage and pancakes it was.   A couple three more phone calls back and forth with the RV repair guy and it was almost lunch. Shari called and we made plans to go up for chicken on the grill.  First we had to go in town to the grocery store and then we were off.  Now since we are so smart we decided to take the scenic road up over the mountain through Central City and down to Shari's.  It was only 20 miles farther. As luck goes there was an accident on I-70 so we  took the side road where a tractor trailer had the road blocked for ten minutes but we finally made it to Central City a unique mountain town with several casinos and out next campground.  From then on the road deteriorated slowly until we were on a gravel  road heading down 9% grades with several switch backs.  And we found out they didn't waste money putting up sharp curve signs or Diane's favorite no guard rails of any kind.  We finally made it but instead of getting there at 3:00 it was 4:00.  The chicken got grilled and we had a wonderful time.  We headed home around 7:30.

Beautiful views from I-70
