Van, did you have to pay extra to get a matching hauler .......Man I hate that you had this trouble. Chin up buddy it wont always be this way. Is that haul from engine problems or something other than??

Thanks for the pics and keep us up on the bus problem.

Well the motor started running hot again,pulled over when temp started goin over 90 2nd time had water running out of the r air box tube (it's toasted ),Gauge must be way off.The good news is Don lined up a motor for me thru Dave St.John ,an eccelent running motor.Cheryl and I did get to camp over night in the bus a foot and a half from the road :shock: on Ca 95 s of needles till morning until Progressive found us a LanDoll to come take us back to Cliffords .We then loaded the pick up and continued on to Q just in time for Sat pot luck
Progressive was on the money this time ,their bill for the towing was around $1,300 dollars :o

We never did get there early enough for the coffee and donuts. That is a nice coffee pot that Wayne carries around for everyone though! ;)

Let me give a special thanks to all who made this event a spectacular success,and thanks Wayne for the hospitality and providing Cheryl and I a very special tour of his beautiful coach.Spent some time with Art and Cindy too ,least we forget Nelson Majors for the kind words as well as the pistachio nuts and the honey :D .but most of all let me give thanks to the most humble man I know ,Clifford,who has taught me quit alot about eagles as well as life in general.As you all should all know by now our engine failed us once again ,but was able to over come it and remain composed through out the ordeal and make the best of it,Cheryl was so afraid that I would come unglued and start ranting and raving but that never happened.Cheryl so wanted for us to have a nice time, that every thing just became so tranquil .So there we were camping out in the middle of no where broke down first time in our dream ,despite the adversity we were happy again,so thanks Clifford composure and a cool head wins the moment once more.Safe passage ,love and respect to all :) Van & Cheryl

and now more photo's before paul eats thru his hat :lol:
