Here we go
We closed on the house on Wednesday, and were already in Central IL. Just love the laws in Rochester, MN. Tonight we are in the KOA at Clarksville, IN heading eventually to Florida. WE have spent the last five days visiting with the youngest grand daughter and are really looking forward to seeing the older grand kids. The Monty pulls like a dream, still have to look in the rear view mirror to make sure it is still behind us. Our mileage is pretty good too, anywhere from 12 to 14 mph. Going to have a short trip tomorrow, as we will visit family in Nashville. Only about a three hour drive so we are going to see the sites in central KY. We are really going to love this.

That's great news. we know the feeling of finally getting rid of the stick house. Enjoy Nashville and the family and hopefully Wilma will be out of Florida's weather system by than.
Where in FL will you be heading. If it's anywhere in the Clearwater be sure to look us up.

Glen,
We have a place in Naples, hopefully Wilma didn't completely ruin everything along the coast. Will be more than willing to look you up when we head through.

My husband wants to know what vehicle are you using that you get 14 mpg and what is the size of your Montana?

Gary and Karen,
Congrats on being free birds now. Hope you get to FL. and have an uneventful winter (weather wise) that is. Dont you just love the mileage your Duramax is getting. You are right in the average with me, 12-14 towing and 19-22 empty on the highway. I have family in Stewartville, and Rochester, MN as well as the Chicagoland area. Was in Nahsville last month visiting my brother, hope to be heading back in 3 weeks. Have a safe and enjoyable winter.
