ARRIVED DADE CITY

we left jan 3 as planned and drove thru rain-sleet-snow-ice-rain-sleet---we were happy that we left home about 2 hrs earlier than usuall but due to the weather we arrived in winchester about the same time we usually do...had even thought about going further  earlier in the day after we got an early start but that sure changed..

the second night we made it to south of the border in south carolina and dewinterized the rig only to discover that we had a front jack that was not working that way it should...so now what we need to get it fixed...went on line and found some shops along our way...so the next day i drove and lar spent time on thbe phone talking to the open range people to find someplace to go to...they just told us find someplace and they will call to see if it is warranty covered...so we found one right off the highway we were traveling in ocala, fl...picked a good one..they took us when we arrived assed the problem and then fixed it..so we were back on the road by 3 with a  fixed jack...


because we had changed a couple of our [plans that we wanted to stop and see along the way we just headed to bushnell where there is a park that gives 1/2 half to vets so we decided to stay there...good park with lots of  road to ride our bikes on...so we rode bikes and the knee was no problem...

met up with a coupld from church back hme and had lunch with them..good seeing familiar faces from back home..

today sun we are now in dade city and at 5 tonight we will have a team meeting to hear what there is to knolw..etc..

life is good and god bless..

the sandhills were in the campground where we weere
