GMC Motorhome Friends


They come, they go. Although Armand and Carol did not stay long we packed a lot of visiting into one evening. We have known this couple for a couple of years now. They reside out west of Tucson. Great folks and have been on an 8 week tour of the north and east USA and part of Canada.We were honored that Carol and Armand gave us one evening of their trip. Armand and I coorespond on a regular basis. They were leaving home when we left for Oregon. He emails and also keeps up a blog so I can know where they are. When I saw they were heading toward Memphis I made sure they knew we were here and had room for their GMC in our driveway.
 The two of them had just completed a complete makeover of the interior of their GMC. It looks much better than new and is more functional. Talented woodworkers, they are. I doubt Teri and I can ever get the inside of our coach looking half as good as their's does. Really nice, pictures just can not display the craftsmanship so I will leave it to your imagination. Everything is new from the ceiling to floor. All new overhead cabinets and kitchen. Just a great job.
So, all good things must end. Carol and Armand just left and are heading to Memphis to tour Graceland. After 3-4 days they will head to Little Rock for some fun and then on out to NM. I think they need to be home next weekend so they are right on target. So far, 5500 miles since leaving home and minimal problems.
Keep us posted Armand, when you have time, and thanks again for putting us in your travels.
Teri continues to work on her geocache stuff for the presentation and hunt at GMCMI in Du Quoin. We will leave here in a week for that adventure. Really looking forward to seeing everyone again. It is just over 100 miles for us so this is the shortest trip we have ever had to arrive for a convention. The problem I have is an early cotton harvest, and it is upon us. I may have to commute from Du Quoin back home to help out. We will see how it goes.
We set out our first geocache yesterday. I took it out and set everything in its place. Now Teri must get on line and get an approval for it. Should be showing up in a few days. We are excited to have one here for folks and will eventually have several in the area. I spent some good money getting this one all taken care of. Will grab a picture later in the week.
It is Wednesday. Hope everyone's week is going good. I put the front brake pads on Teri's car yesterday morning so it should be good for a few thousand miles of good stopping. Now we need to get the new emergency brake cables on the vdub. May work on that later today.
Thanks for checking in. Everyone is welcome in our home. Should you be planning a trip this way, stop and visit. We have California friends coming next month. We met them in February when we were broken down in the LA area. Good things usually come from bad experiences and these friends are truly blessings in our lives. Can't wait for them to get here.
See ya,
Dan
