Devyn had a short rest in the car then she drove the last half of the way home. We stopped in Jackson at Klavons for a pizza supper and met Randy there. The restaurant was packed at 7pm and we had no place to park so the went next door to Steaks Eatery. We now plan to eat pizza at Klavons Saturday then see Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
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.

Devyn's return from soccer camp
Today we drove to Hope College in Holland, MI. Randy took her there Sunday for a week of soccer camp. She had a game at 3pm so we got to watch it, it was the championship gave in her class and they won 1-0. She impressed me with a body check she threw on an opponent as they battled for ball control at the game's end, she said it was payback. Good aggressive play.

New HitchHiker bearings
Wheels off, spindles removed and taken to have the new bearings pressed in. While we were here two other couples arrived for service and we know one of them. They had a HH 2 years ago at the Custer, SD rally but then wanted a larger unit which NuWa no longer makes, bought a Teton and had water leak problems and now have a New Horizon. Small world. Keith was finished with the bearings about noon so we headed back to Onsted. We met Randy in Coldwater (he was returning from Three Rivers) and Judy went with him so he could take delivery of his new Chevy truck. I returned to Onsted, dumped the tanks and set up our home by the time she returned with his car.

Back in Elkhart at MOR/ryde
We returned to Elkhart (120 miles) today to have our HitchHikers bearings replaced. We were here last month but they didn't have the correct bearings. Before returning they sent me a picture of the four Timkin Bearing boxes so I know they should have the correct ones this time.
We also broke another window shade so we took it to SWC in Goshin for repair. On the way home we stopped at Jo Jo's Pretzels and were they good!
At least MOR/ryde has supplied some entertainment out our back window as they are doing lots of construction at their plant on Moyer Steert. Business is good. This is their second new building in two years and they now have six paved sites with 50a and 30a power.
We spent the morning addressing ride quality and took Keith, the service tech, and Ben, an engineer, for two trips with them riding inside the HH. After checking and measuring the suspension system they decided we needed to drop the tire air pressure from 115 psi to 90 psi. Not sure I will go that low but I'll experiment with it. Because this took half the day the bearings will not be finished today so we get to spend the night in our HH inside their service bays.
