Hi to everyone. Well, after a little over 12000 miles we are back home in Idaho. Our 77 SS did beautifully as did our truck which made the whole trip pretty uneventful. We did experience one major leak in the torrential rains while we were heading east thru Texas which was my fault as I had recently installed a Fantastic fan in the trailer and had failed to caulk it well enough. We stopped at a KOA in Texas and recalked and solved that problem. In all the time we were on the road I only saw one other SS underway and that one was going in the opposite direction so I didn't get a chance to talk to them. I did stop in Conroe texas and had a great visit with Bob Ashby and his family. Those folks couldn't be any friendlier. We were greeted like long lost relatives. I got pics of Bob and numerous trailers that are located in the park that Bob manages. I'll put them on as soon as I get the chance. I'm sure your not interested in a blow by blow description of our trip but we did really enjoy the 24 days we spent in Key West. BUT THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME. Carl and Joann Rodgers

Hi Carl, Welcome home. Glad ya had a good trip. I don't know about everyone else, but the BLOW BY BLOW stories are the best. Just wait awhile. They're usually more humorous after you've had a chance to cool off a little.
