 Well we are fixed and on the road. Went to Scheiks RV in Newton wi for the fix. slide no longer sags. it was truly rotten. have since seen posts on the RV Bunch that many others have had the same type of leak d/t a design flaw.... hummm. do ya think Keystone will acknowledge that????

.Stayed at Kevins for  6 days and then started the drive to Erics in Montana. relatively uneventful rid7e. Hit wind north of Sheridan Wy and had to pull over early one day but we were able to find a lovely camp ground. Stayed in Deadwood SD for 2 nights,. went into town to gamble a bit. tom won I lost. Got to Erics on sunday the 27th. plan on staying for a week. got a  few maintance projects to complete. stupid camper seems like it is falling apart. constantly finding screws that fall out when we travel. 

anyway, stayed at some nice campgrounds enroute to erics. weather was decent. gas (diesel) was cheap enough. most we paid was $2.42./gal. least was 1.99/gal. but with the wind we got about 9 miles a gallon. ouch!

 Well, tomorrow we should have been flying to Brads for a weeks visit. However, we discovered a large bulge under our big slideout and had to cancel our plans for brads and make new plans to get camper fixed. No RV fix it place around Chippewa would even look at it until Dec. AS THIS is their "busy" time. I call bull crap to that! we originally found a place out by erics that's thought they could fix it but they had not done a lot of this type of repair. Eventually, Kevin found a spot near him that could look at it this week. So we packed up at Pine Harbor like we weren't coming back this year and headed to Kevins on Sunday. They looked at the damage and ordered the parts and scheduled a repair for 9/21/20. AS it turned out we could have still gone to brads but I had already cancelled the tickets. We thought we would have had to start the  drive to erics  this past Monday to get there fast and get the repairs done before snow flew. such a hassle to have this occur now. but we are now back at PIne Harbor for nearly 2 weeks. after the repair we will head to erics for a visit then head south. they have already had a boat load of snow in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. makes me a bit nervous to travel south that late in the season. But we need to get the repair done and whatever leak there is sealed. 

Happy 89th birthday to my mom today. She is still doing so well. Uncle Jack lives at the Manor also and helps keep her company. They are still in lockdown d/t  covid but we broke them out of jail recently and had them over for a cookout. joel and karen came also. nice afternoon. 

Other than doing a lot of getting ready to leave for the season in a fast manner we have been laying low. did not want to accidently expose ourselves before going to brads and being around Bode. Will start looking to book another visit there as soon as we can.

camper damage from leak. Insurance wont pay!

Kendalls's 10th birthday. She loves her Horses!
