    Well it was great seeing all the people at both get togethers. No, we're not home yet. We're back in Las Lunas, NM., but just overnight at the motel this time. Will be home by tomorrow night if nothing happens. Been so uneventful this trip that I had to change a flat tire for an older couple from North Carolina at one of our stops. (See, there really are people older than me still driving) :biglaugh:They were trying to use a socket to get the lug nuts off. I got my 4 way and the trailer aid and had it changed for them in a couple of minutes. Frank I got you beat in the miles, but I don't have a final figure yet. Will post tomorrow night when we get back home. Do I get to add the mileage from the Maverick too?:)

    Well, we got home a little while ago. No major problems, but had a shake start about 100 miles from here. Slowed down and made it the rest of the way home. I think 1 of the truck tires is seperating. Will have it checked out tomorrow. Total mileage on the truck was 3519 miles. I don't know how many we put on the Maverick in Joplin and Hannibal, but had a great time. :)
