Sorry, yes it is Buckhorn in Kerrville.  The IC37 in the foreground is a little askew. They set it up and seemed ok with it. Must have known the issue.  The IH45 was from Canada I believe and had fall colored maple leaves on the coach and matching trailer.(very nice, must get it repainted seasonally)

We're almost home after 4 months and over 5000 miles. Until today we'd seen NO Foretravels.

Today north of Atlanta, heading south on what must have been I24 we were passed by a 36-40' U320 towing a cream cone mired two door Jeep. Then closer to Atlanta an all white GV headed opposite direction.

Walking around the park we are staying at, we found a U295 36 foot Foretravel with 2 slides parked on a site!  Looks like a '03.  Left a card and hope to see/hear who it belongs to today!

Update;  Met Tom Endres this morning and had a nice chat.  His coach is an '02 and he will be here for the winter.  Always nice to meet another member and put a face to the name.

We just ran 1280 miles down the east coast, mostly on I95 (aka Ho Chi Minh Trail), and saw nary a Foretravel.  This was third trip back and forth with no sightings.  Maybe its me......

jk, I made up for it, just came back from a work related trip up the west coast, Sacramento to Tacoma. Last night (Monday 4:00pm) traveling North bound on I-5 south of Grants Pass, Oregon there's an all white (no vinyl) Grand Villa towing an SUV he's traveling south. An hour later I'm North of Grants Pass and I'm passing another Foretravel (320 ?) dark and hard to see, no toad. I think that's a "twofer"

Last Sunday a 1996 U270 Unicoach was passing through our home town/ "village" going south on 68 in Yellow Springs Ohio.
Younger couple, full-timing.
Think there are only 18 Foretravels in Ohio, so it was cool to see another one.

Bruce,

 I can see where that can cause more that desert pen stripes for sure, at least you didn't end up on your lid.

Came across these two GVs recently.

Found the first one while on Rt 66 sitting in a parking lot in Baxter Springs, KS back in October. No one around and no indication why it was there.

The second one was in a campground near Ocala, FL yesterday while on our way to Disney's Fort Wilderness. Again, no one home.

Passed a Grand Villa heading north on 59 between Lufkin and Nacogdoches. I think it had green stripes, about the time we were passing a rollback wrecker decided to pull out in my lane causing me to do some creative driving, braking and cussing so I didn't get a good look. Hit the hadleys 4 times as we passed and to show my displeasure with the wrecker driver.. we were in the U320 with the orange jeep toad...

We saw several Foretravels today on I-20 and I-10 west bound and east bound.  East bound was a GV, not sure what year.  We passed several west bound today on our way to Benson, AZ.  We will camp here at Valley Vista Encore resort till the 15th and then off to the Q.  Hope to see many Foretravels there!

Great day for seeing Foretravel coaches in Florida on I 75 today first saw a late 90's 40 foot blue stripes northbound near Sarasota about 1:15 pm then several hours later saw Floridarandy southbound on I 75 a little bit north of Bradenton and not far behind him a black and gold I think 42 U320. I don't remember ever seeing 3 Foretravel's in the same day.
