We finally made it to Homewood, IL and are staying at our son and his wife's house (see member map satellite view for actual house!) until we can find our own. Trip up was uneventful if you call traveling 400+ miles a day uneventful. But, we are here. . .homeless. . .but here.

Fantastic! I know exactly where you are and how to find you! You are really quite close to our grand kids in Yorkville, so it will be a snap to visit. I am relieved to know that you made it OK. Now ... all good thoughts to getting the Burrow to new owners so it can get back on the road fast, and you into new digs.

woke up this morning to this and wished we were back in Nac. We had the same weather going thru New Mexico after leaving Texas. What are we doing here???

We arrived about 2:30, for our first visit to Camp Foretravel. We of course did a Walmart run and found the Azalea Gardens for tomorrows trip. Poured a sundower, and walked the lot, met a couple of owners. Walked the consignment line up as well, and see more up the street as well. This might be a very expensive trip. TBD

We are leaving Red River Army Depot and the Elliott Lake Campground in the morning. We should be in Nac by noon or so ...
Jeff's cataract surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning, and we will stay there until he is pronounced "cured". I am anxious to see how the azaleas have "popped" since the beginning of the month!

The azaleas are in full bloom. Mize gardens gorgeous. We enjoyed the azalea trail especially in the area near the high school.

We should be back in Nac either very late this coming week or early the following week. Wish we could see what our coach looks like as it goes through the light conversion.

If you like azaleas you need to drive to Tyler. The Azalea Trails will be starting within the next week, but they have already started to bloom.

Sample photos in Mize Azalea Garden at SFA University, backside of the Garden, across LaNana Creek, to other parts of the Arboretum trail. There is also the Children" Garden with bog plants on that trail down near Johnson Coliseum. Photos were Saturday. Still not quite peak. And an azalea drive in the town is marked with signs. Google Mize Azalea Gardens Nacogdoches or try this web site for the gardens, Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden

Marilyn and I plan to arrive in NAC around midday on Thursday, March 22. We have an appointment for a small repair at FOT on Friday. We expect to return to home in Bellville, on Friday afternoon or sometime Saturday. We hope to meet a few folk while in NAC.

Look forward to meeting you, we enjoy your contributions to the ForeForum. Have been blessed to get to meet some members in the past couple of weeks....want to add you to those we have met. I think be glad you are not coming in on Tuesday for we expect heavy rain, 3 - 7 inches possible. If Marilyn enjoys the azaleas, I hope the rain and wind leave them with little damage. This is a beautiful time in East Texas and Nacogdoches. Will look at Camp FOT for you. Travel Mercies, Mike

Yes ... today there are cats & dogs raining from the skies. We expect to be here thru the week ... Jeff's post-cataract visits and the small matter of an untimely water leak coming from our refrigerator(!) will keep us occupied.

Icemaker water line? They're routed with a heater wire that causes the material of the tube to degrade over time (as we found out in 2010....)

Trust his surgery went well. Now have fun keeping track of the schedule for the various eye drops. Once his vision is at 100% he can really begging looking for that Wrangler. Say hello to Jeff for Carol and me.

That's what I am thinking ... although MOT put in a new line (on our nickel) when we got this coach in July. I am thinking we should go there and make them look at it. Grrrrrr.

That would be the perfect opportunity for you to unhook the power, pull in the slides and drive the coach to MOT as Jeff rests on the couch!

I guess this should be moved to the "Women RV" thread!

Patrick and Alton took a look at our "leak" this morning. They were able to determine that it was caused by a major kink in the drain line for the ice maker ... I have always had a gob of ice at the rear of the ice maker mechanism ... that was not allowing the water to drain into the catch pan properly. I am thinking that when MOT slid the fridge back into place last July, the line was kinked and I have just been living with this issue until the major overflow yesterday. We will be here a bit longer while Jeff's eye settles and the floods subside ... good time to test what is going on.

Dave (J. D.) and Marilyn arrived at Camp Foretravel about 3:00 p.m. We have an appointment at 7:30 a.m., tomorrow to have a bit of work done.

It's siesta time right now.

Any sightings of our coach? It should be out of Justin's shop soon, I would think. Look for an '03 silver/red with new head/tail lights and a very tasteful "foreforums.com" at the top of the passenger and driver side windows (the signage thanks to Mark and Tanya Zettek

) We're anxious to get back to Nac and see it (and finish up the spring maintenance).

No, haven't seen it. There is a 97-99 36' with headlights in progress. It looks like people are living in it. There is no MC number on it. There are a couple of coaches with conversions in place. None is yours.

Is yours likely to be in the FOT paint shop? Maybe I can get a photo tomorrow.

We are parked near Carol and Jeff. We remained "holed up" except for walking the dog.

I expect the service folk may finish our work pretty quickly tomorrow. I took the coach out for exercise early this week and found that the alternator had died. I got as far as removing it "most of the way" and decided to let the experts handle the job. I did verify that it was getting sense voltage from one of the batteries. It was receiving 12VDC from another wire when the key was on. It was supplying pretty much 0V to the isolator. We drove to NAC with the generator running and the boost switch engaged.

We may head back home tomorrow, or we might hang out until Saturday. We'll see how things go tomorrow.

That's its most likely location if it hasn't been finished yet. We are also getting the front Armorcoat-ed.

It might also end up in the fenced area opposite the main FOT and Wayne's shop when Justin is done, since we're not there and they like to keep the coaches safe until claimed.

txforetravel also has an '02, cream/gold with red (like the Savournins'), that started conversion this week. I'm sure Tom would appreciate photos if you happen to see their coach in process.
