Home again, home again, jiggity jig

We got home Wednesday afternoon. Snowdrifts in the home driveway and at the shop so no immediate access. When Mike went in the shop, the floor was covered with water as the last cold snap of -22 to 30 below had split a copper pipe. The drain field was saturated so with nowhere to go it filled the shop floor. It's all metal and cement, so renting a pump from Runnings took care of the water along with Mike's manual labor.

Still it's great to be home. Was a fun trip with lots of great memories. That coach is very dependable and kept us warm. Love that comfortable bed. Look forward to getting the TVs fixed to get cable and satellite...Mike is taking it back to Marathon in OR for some work next week.

Chris is anxious to see his bike and he has acquired all the motorcycle gear for safely riding.

We both like water so would like to go back to Galveston area again. Favorite RV PARK WAS ADVANCED RV IN HOUSTON. IT WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE FOR STAYING SEVERAL WEEKS OR as many do, stay for the winter.

Favorite meal was shrimp and pineapple on the grill. Favorite activity was the riverboat cruise along the Mississippi, but there were a lot of fun things we did. Sure enjoyed seeing Christensens in Cheyenne and Legare crew in Denver. Actually our favorite campground was Chatfield in Colorado State Park. We will definitely use the park system again. Biggest mystery - how Louisiana got permission to rebuild when most of the land is below sea level and why Glendive can't build as some buildings in the 100 year flood plain.

Shopcat made the whole trip and back again with no mishaps, although close calls with owls, dogs and not showing up when time to go. Next year we will be heading East, so stay tuned. If Shopcat is still around, I'm sure she will be going too.
