Here's Charlie working to get the old front suspension off

The new one looking spiffy and will last the bus longer than our lifetime

This is the old rear suspension we had done back in March

Monday May 25

Okay, it's been about a week now, guess I'll post some pictures. We are finally out of California, YAY!! Las Vegas, as you can imagine is HOT!! Temps in the mid 90's, and we have no A/C in the bus, but, we are managing. We usually try to be somewhere else in the middle of the day, preferably with air conditioning. Bill & Fran Rayner are in the park with us, the Thousand Trails here not very far from The Strip. We all went to lunch today at Sam's Town and had a good time.

The first pictures will be of the suspension work we had done, and then the installation of the new steering column and steering wheel. We also had our destination window and the eyebrow window re-installed because they had issues with leakage. Now all we have to do is be somewhere where it rains so we can see if he did a good job or not. The sunscreens are doing a very good job of keeping the bugs out, so we're glad we got them.

Tuesday, May19

Hello there, well, sorry I haven't updated this blog in awhile. We've been in the southern California area, but, some of the places we've been in weren't too reliable in cell connections, so I've pretty much gotten terribly behind. I do have some pictures to post of some work we had done on the bus a few weeks ago. Mainly, we decided to add new front suspension as well. I will get the pictures together of what we've done so far and post them in the next day or so. We are finally almost ready to depart California for our summer travels. Right now, we are at the Wilderness Lakes Thousand Trails near Temecula, but, we leave Friday to head for Las Vegas to spend a few days sightseeing, then, we'll head north on I-15 towards Utah and Idaho.
