Indiana Wants Me - I Just Hate To Drive There!

Well, it's been almost a couple of weeks since our last blog. Sally and I spent last week in Tooele Utah, visiting my younger brother Kevin. We attended our nephew, Michael's,  graduation on Thursday the 24th, held at the University of Utah. Michel plans include a summer job! A (hand-me-down) white Silverado pick-up! And art school.

Driving Into Provo

It was good spending time with the family and seeing small changes in Tooele, since I spent 6 months there in 2005, testing the prototype gun system at Dugway Proving Ground. This time around we just 'tested' some firearms at the local firing range! We also had the opportunity to spend two days in the Provo area on our way up to Tooele. My ex-sister-in-law Patty, lives in Provo; and again, I hadn't seen her, or her husband Steve, since 2005.  It was good to catch up on each others lives.

As the title indicates, we're now on our way to Indiana to the Thor Motor Coach factory. We've been having problems with our large 18' dinette/bedroom slide. When we try and run it in, it stalls. Since our warranty expires in July, now's the time to get it, and several other items, fixed at the factory.  So, our original plans to take a slow trip to Iowa through Wyoming, became a faster trip to get the rig to Indiana and minimize use of the slide-out.  We spent one night ('dry-camping' - utilizing our solar panels!) at Little America; one night in Cheyenne; then the long drive across Nebraska (with an overnight stay in North Platte). So tonight we're in West Omaha, and tomorrow over to Council Bluffs. We'll spend the weekend visiting with some of Sally's relatives, then Monday, we'll head west towards Des Moines. We got delayed being scheduled into the factory, so we'll be spending 5 days in Des Moines. On Saturday we'll drive to Utica, Illinois; on Sunday we'll head into Indiana, in order to be in Elkhart Monday morning the 11th.

So that pretty much catches us up with where we're at, and where we're heading.

Keep checking for updates!
