We actually had a small box of “fire starter” 2x4 cutoffs from the reconstruction of our Florida house with us. I never thought I would need them for this, though. We have since purchased a set of real jack stands if we need to do this again. Replacing a leaf spring while traveling is not that uncommon. They have a tendency to break but usually in the worst places. We considered ourselves lucky it happened when and where it did. Thanks for commenting !

Thank you so much for the kind words. We are in the Yukon heading for Alaska

Cool, have a safe trip 😊

Did you happen to notice that one of our tires had blown? We didn’t until we stopped.

The berry pie we should have tried. The museum was very nice. The lightning in the area kept the tours from operating. We have visited here a few times and many years ago when it first started being built. The progress seems slow but it keeps going. Thanks for commenting!!!

Thank you. Have a safe trip

You have a safe trip too! We had to replace a leaf spring already here so I got a couple of extras while in Dickinson. We are headed to Sweet Grass to cross into Canada on Wednesday or Thursday. Thanks for posting.

You are right….it is a lot of tech to learn and it is frustrating sometimes. We did buy an On-star data plan after we found out that the GPS won’t work without it. But the camera features while towing are nice. Thanks!!

Thank you, we hope to crossover into Canada Thursday.

We added a piece of sheet metal to the back of the rock guard. It will reflect the heat. I hope it will not reflect it on to the bumper or the new truck’s paint

@@noworriesrving3743 Rocks Shall Not Pass! Looks fine

Thank you

Our fan comes on automatically when the heater comes on. We only had 2 wires for our thermostat-a red and white. There was a place on the thermostat for a power wire but ours never had a third wire or power wire. I am pretty sure you should just connect the red and white wires.

Thank you and have fun in New England this summer.

Our tires are Goodyear Endurance tires. I believe it could have been much worse if we had cheap tires.

I think so

wtf are you talking about miles and mph are different?

@@donavinmariabi6487 wow funny how you took me serious

It is a very nice park and we were totally surprised.

I am not sure what type of blue fish it is?? I thought originally it was some type of carp but I am not sure?

😊 thank you

It was definitely fun, how fully you can come with us some time.

Did you see the blue fish? I was swimming with it

Manatee Springs State Park located in Manatee Springs Florida.

Northern central Florida on the west coast.

Thank you, it was fun😀

We have a cargo carrier attached to the bumper with a hitch receiver. Our bumper was be replaced with a steel bumper and modified. We carry chairs, grill cooking tent among other things

I totally agree

I agree they were the greatest generation.

@@noworriesrving3743 Dad's cousin Sparky was captured by the Germans at the Battle of the Bulge and put into a POW camp. He escaped and citizens on a farm in Belgium found him and turned him over to the Russian Army and that Army got him back to the US Army. I met Sparky and visited twice at the War Museum in Danville, Illinois where after he had re-enlist in the newly formed Air Force after the war. Re was a lifer in the Air Force. What a colorful character he was. Our dad served beginning in New Guinea and up to the Philippines. He said the Filipinos were the best and the Fillipino Gorillas were courage and had great respect for them all.

@@butchs6099 wow..My uncle served in Patton’s 12th Armor division all the way from Africa to the end of the war. He never talked about it but he had horrible nightmares

Our dad didn't talk much about it either. He said at least you could tell who the enemy was unlike the many Germans who spoke English. 12:29 He did tell of meeting MacArthur on one of the islands. Dad was a Tech Sargent and trying to get a duece and a half, I think it was, that was stuck in the mud on the main trail from the beach to the camp. MacArthur was to be expected anytime soon on his island hopping campaign (they talked about how the General was always coming from behind the troops). Dad was positioned under the truck removing the broken dropped drive shaft and when he slid out from under, there was MacArthur standing. He had walked up to see what what was holding his escort convoy up and here was Dad, recognizing the General he sprung to his feet holding the driveshaft with both hands, dropped it in the mud to salute and splashed mud all over the Generals trousers. MacArthur told him, quite alright soldier carry on. Dad loved the service and would have stayed in but wanted to get home for he had never seen his son, my older brother Lee of 12 years, whom was born after Dad left for overseas. Your uncles nightmares, was he scared of the Germans or more scared of General Patton? Ha! I admired Patton. We need more like him.

You know what…. I haven’t checked that. Thanks!!

It wasn't the fridge vent. We fixed it and still had a leak. On the downspout track, to see the screws, you gotta pull off the rubber trim. Near where the front and back track connect, there was a screw missing. Right in that spot. We added a screw, caulked, and are now hoping for the best. We still have to replace the whole wall!

2019, yes we like it a lot.

So far this option works better for us. Good luck with the new knee and all the work you yet to do. Have fun planning😄

They are still doing great, the hangers are aluminum not plastic. Thank you

I was on a steep ramp and the majority of the kayak was on the ramp when I went.

@noworriesrving3743 half kayak in the water would help not hurt the bottom . I think that's what your getting at?

@@mm88swrt yes😀

Everytime you do it you’ll wear a little more off the bottom. Until there’s a hole in the kayak

The water came over the entire front of the kayak when I was pushed in soaking me.😂

There was carpet on the ramp, not on the cement directly and Jim picked up the back end when he pushed me in. Thank you for then omment

Thank you for you comments 😊

I am sure it’s beautiful in the winter
