Unfortunately with Winnona's age she wouldn't sell for much and thus I couldn't buy anything any newer than she is. So it's Winnona or nothing.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-84788839938614633342021-05-10T06:22:47.757-07:002021-05-10T06:22:47.757-07:00Great to hear from you Lynn thanks for the comment...Great to hear from you Lynn thanks for the comment.

But I am truly overwhelmed at all that you have to endure while you're traveling on your own—and also truly impressed by your courage and fortitude. I'm so glad you found friends to hike with and to help you get your rig situated. Hang in there, my friend. You always have something to help you through—even if it's a friendly tree pointing you in the right direction to keep you from hiking in circles.

One time at a park in Florida we were meeting two sets of friends and they arrived before we did and made bets David couldn't get our big rig in a really impossible site. But he did and won. We'll have to have a blizzard some time together. My favorite is Reece's Peanut Butter cup. How about you? Pretty sure they milled corn but without the visitor center I don't know for sure.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-10296173676772596062021-05-08T14:48:40.846-07:002021-05-08T14:48:40.846-07:00Misery does love company Paul so thanks very much....Misery does love company Paul so thanks very much.

I swear the road to that site was really a deer trail. We had been driving all day and it was the only place we could find. So far out in the boonies there wasn't even a Walmart around within 50 miles. <br /><br />Thankfully the road out the next morning was a little better. Like you all our clothes in the closet fell on the floor. So I can say I really feel your pain having been there myself. <br /><br />And to further empathize with you, I have a front right jack that I have to pry up. Sticky solenoid that I have to replace.<br /><br />Ah, the joy of RV travel, eh? :cDPaul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-15744489462075969882021-05-08T08:56:27.995-07:002021-05-08T08:56:27.995-07:00Thanks for your great comment and wishes Sue.

Kudos to you. I don't envy your problems, or your stick season in the Carolina's, but you do know how much I envy your time on the Florida rivers and beaches. It must be worth all the hassle in order to have that beautiful time with the water and the wildlife, sunsets and sunrises, and a bit of warmth in the winter. Congrats on the Silver River reservation. It is a beautiful place to be, even if a bit chilly in winter compared to locations farther south. Hope things somehow manage to fill in for you one way or another.<br /><br />Big hugs to you and so glad you are home safe.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-10405698713080018822021-05-08T07:55:49.000-07:002021-05-08T07:55:49.000-07:00Yes you had challenges on your journey this year, ...Yes you had challenges on your journey this year, but you over came them and continued on.
