Now a Chevy owner. (Totaled Ford)

Well folks we are still in California should have been in Idaho by now via Arizona and Nevada. After Leaving the Spring Rally we got as far as Bakersfield when we were bounced between a tractor/trailer and a box van. The good point is no one was hurt, no damage to the 5th wheel. I can’t say the same for my truck. It took a week for the insurance company to decide to total it. I never planned on buying a truck a thousand miles from home. So we are now the owners of a 2006 Chevrolet 3500 Dually. We’ll see you at 7 Feathers.

Jim, I am sure glad that you and Jody are alright. You needed a new truck anyway. See you next month and stay safe on the rest of your trip. Rich

Glad everyone is ok. Material things can be replaced but not our loved ones.

Sorry to hear about your truck, but glad you and Jody were not hurt. I know you really liked your old truck, but you won't have any trouble adjusting to the new truck. See you at 7 Feathers in a couple of months.

We also are glad to hear that you two did not get hurt in the accident. You will have to tell us all the details at 7 Feathers. Enjoy the new truck.

Wow, scary! Glad your Montana survived (as well as the two of you). Enjoy the new ride. We did Seven feathers on our western tour a couple of years ago. Was fun. Happy RVing................

Glad no one was hurt. That must have been a nightmare being stuck between the two.

Jim and Jody, we can't wait to hear the whole story at 7 Feathers. We're so glad you weren't hurt. Losing a truck isn't fun, we know, but things could have been a lot worse. Nothing like making an unexpected, expensive buy at an unexpected, "not home" place.

Wow, that could have had a much sadder ending! I'm sure glad you both are ok. Enjoy Seven Feathers and tell everyone 'hi' for us. We enjoyed that get together last year.
