Well, progress is slow. We had hoped to get moving this afternoon, but the parts didn't get here from Denver until about 4:00, and Kevin showed up a little after 6:00 to start installing them. Had we known, we would have done a little more exploring today, but instead, we waited all day at the RV, except for a quick run to Walmart around lunch time. But things are looking up. Approximately 2 hours later, with Joe's assistance, and $767 later, we are back in business. We have new brake lines on the front, Kevin was a great guy, very professional and knowledgeable, and we think we are roadworthy now.
All things considered, things could have been a lot worse. We missed the collision, we made it safely to this parking lot, we have been very comfortable here and Cabela's has not bothered us at all, even through this will be our third night here. The temperatures have been great and we have not had to use the A/C or the furnace in the RV, and the solar panels Joe installed shortly before we left have provided enough electricity that we have not had to run the generator much, and still been able to keep his sleep machine running all night and watch TV. But we are certainly ready to move on, and hope the rest of the trip is much smoother.
Our Grand Plan is to go to the South Dakota, then North Dakota, then probably across Minnesota and Wisconsin and maybe the Upper Peninsula of Michigan again (we really like that area), then down through either Ohio or Indiana, depending on how much time we have to get to Florida by the 4th of July. Lots of miles ahead of us, and hopefully lots of interesting things to see.
