Camping World, Bakersfield, CA

We moved today. This is the shortest move we have ever done. One mile!


Actually, we have a pretty good spot. We feel secure and safe here. 30 Amp service. And free!

Here is our spot.





I really like palm trees, and this one is really cool.


We got our truck back. I mentioned that there was a 'clunk' when putting it into park. They said that is normal.... They said they checked the tranny and it looked good. It did get up to 239 degrees during our 'troubles'.

They said give it a try, and bring it back it it fails again.

Not what I wanted to hear. Our deductible was $200.00 on a $7,700.00 repair bill. 8 new injectors.

I am not convinced. I don't want to connect our house and start up that mountain pass again...for the third time!

Options...

We looked at trading our truck and 5th wheel in on a motorhome. Here is a 2006 Newmar Kountry Star diesel pusher that we thought about. 29K miles. $104,000.00



 Then a 2000 Ultrasport 2000 by Damon. A diesel pusher, but way to old for me.

They really wanted to sell us this 2014 Fleetwood Southwind 32VS. This was a nice 33 foot rig that would have worked for us.







They have a lot to choose from....



But they won't give us crap for our Bighorn in trade.

Truck, yes.... RV, no!

Other options....

I thought of trading in our 2008 truck in for a new one. They will give us 25K in on trade.

We are really thinking about this. Financing is a GO!

How much is 'Peace of Mind' worth?

We may not make it to Albuquerque in time for the Balloon Fiesta, but that's ok. It happens every year.

Tomorrow we are going to go to a church we found here. We are giving it to the Lord. His Will. We are listening.

Something is gonna happen soon!

Life is STILL GOOD!
