Denver trip

We had a wonderful trip to Denver in October. Had quality time with family - the grandkids are growing up so fast. I couldn't post here because we had computer connection problems. We had always used a cell phone connection but this time it wouldn't work. Alltell has evidently made changes. When we got back we switched to Verizon as our cell phone provider and got an aircard for the laptop. So far that is working okay.

We had a couple of problems with the 5th wheel on our trip -- the steps broke (luckily no one got hurt)! We had to use the jack to prop up the steps until we got back. And our black water tank got stopped up and wouldn't empty. We had not used enough water with the flushes. We added extra water and chemicals and drove to Julesburg and tried to dump again -- it worked, yippee!

Doug has taken the trailer to the Exel factory in Smith Center KS for some work. They will replace the steps and also fix a problem with a sidewall where water has gotten in.

We have told Doug's mother that we are selling the house in the spring. It is hard for her to understand our dream of traveling and living full time in our RV.
