Morning all.

Chris, Sorry to hear that. We'll keep Renee in our thoughts.

Jim, I used some moving pads and a pallet but at some point you still had to bear the weight of it. Dropping it was my biggest fear too. Came close a couple of times. I also think Ford should come up with a better way to deal with the plugs. There are 3 and all have to go through a little hole. If I ever get another camper, it will fit in the bed with the tail gate on and closed.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Made it to Bravo after a pretty but uneventful drive. The campers, boats, RV's, ORV's and all of that stuff was getting an early start today. Parts of Hwy 58 (Willamette Pass) looked like a campers Swap Meet today along with an RV Sales lot all combined into one. Can't remember the last time I saw so many cars, trucks, trucks with campers, camp trailers, Class C, Class A's and boats on one stretch of highway. Hate to see what it is like tomorrow when we have to go back to the valley.

We are so happy to hear Renee is doing so well. Of course, Chris is waiting on her hand and foot, breakfast in bed, massages, pillow adjustments etc., etc., etc.!

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Back from graves decoration. 15 potted plants and 5 - 5 gallon buckets full of flowers and we ran out of flowers 3 graves short at Cemetery #4. Still have one cemetery to get to in the morning.
