We've spent April and May at home in Tennessee, seeing family and taking care of medical and vet issues. We're also here to get new shocks put on Louis, which has become a challenge because the shocks that are supposed to fit don't. We managed to find a machine shop that could bore them out for us, so now we hope that they fit when we take them to Buddy Gregg next week.
Several friends and family have asked us what our plans are this year and where we're going, so I thought I'd add a short summary of our summer plans. We'll hit five states and 18 stops before heading back to Florida for the winter.
Hold on to your hats - here is our summer:
