Well, we finally got the coach "loaded", the bike on the lift, and the car hooked up and hit the road around 10:00 am. Not bad considering ... (You can see who "Dixie the Wonderdog" is most attached to!!)

All was going well until it started to rain around Ft. Pierce, and the driver's side wiper got caught by a gust of wind and wrapped itself around the side of the coach. Seems the wiper arm snapped off at the actuator pin. Luckily, the Ft. Pierce rain was a squall and the rest of the trip was "largely" without further rain.

We arrived in Valdosta around 4:30 pm and headed to our site, which had more than a slight slope from back to front. The auto leveling said "no go", so we did it manually, initially lifting the front wheels off the ground - oops. We finally settled for having the jacks on the pavement to stabilize the coach, but we are far from level. It's only for one night ----.

Off to Applebees for dinner and a much needed Miller Lite! Tomorrow, it is off to Helen for some riding. On the way we will divert to a Tiffin dealer to see if he can replace the wiper arm. If not, maybe Tiffin can express deliver one to our campground in Helen???

Day one was "not bad". Hope none of the future days are any worse!!

Cheers
