In April 2007 we had sold our home in Michigan and moved into our new fifth wheel trailer to start our adventure of full timing and exploring in our RV. We started our blog so family and friends can track us and see what we are up to. You can double clink any picture to enlarge it.

Chanute, KS ..........and the great flood
We slept in this morning, went out for a bit and fueled the truck. It was about 10:30 when we pulled out for a short 140 mile drive to Chanute and arrived at 1pm. Gary & Suzanne greeted us when we arrived at the city park. Gary was fixing a blown 12v fuse for his fridge & A/C and I got to help by supplying the new fuse. After we set up we chatted for awhile then went to the sports bar downtown for supper. We returned and were picking their brains about their trip this summer to Alaska when Judy noticed we were flooding! The toilet valve had stuck open and, thankfully, clean water was overflowing the toilet. The bathroom floor was covered in water, the hallway carpet was soaked and the basement was wet. JOY JOY...it happened in Chanute and we have a service appointment Monday......great luck! We wet vacked up the water and WILL WATCH the toilet all the time now until Monday! This has also happened to Gary & Susanne in Alaska and Dave & Trish at the B&B rally so we know what to do.
