Back to the NorthWoods Once Again

The Customer Service group at Winnebago took efficient care of us once again.  Since we arrived with an appointment, most of our work was completed on Monday; a couple of “Add On” items and most of our tree damage, leaving only the duct-taped holes in the roof.  These were dried out Tuesday and Tuesday night, and finished up on Wednesday morning.  We were out of there by 1:30, in time to catch the early part of Minneapolis’s rush hour traffic.  They also had to take care of over 45 non-appointment "Drop Ins".

We spent the night on the street outside of Brett’s place, and took Olivia to a soccer practice that evening.  Her team is doing quite well this season.  We will miss Anna’s CrossCountry meet this weekend.

Since Paige will be taking her mother to radiation treatments on Friday, we returned to the cabin on Thursday.  Pam was with Joyce on Tuesday and Wednesday, so we met with her in Hinkley during her return.

Back to “Camp Winnebago”

After a great Annual Meeting of the Nomads at Amana Iowa we have come back to Forest City for repairs to our motorhome.  This will mostly be repairing the damage caused by a wind-blown tree.  (See our posting of June 16)  We have had the Canyon repaired earlier and now it is the Journey’s turn.  We arrived Saturday afternoon and found the parking areas somewhat crowded; and more motorhomes have arrived since then.  We haven’t ever seen this many units here for service.  We are glad to have a firm appointment.

Pack and Load…(repeat)…(repeat)…

Yes, the time has come to load up the motorhome and hit the road once again.  But only for a short time until we return to the lake.  We are only going as far as Duluth today, to help coordinate some of Joyce’s medical issues, to have our annual chassis maintenance done, and to do our annual water treatment.  After a few days there, we will head to Iowa for the Nomads group’s annual meeting next week.  The week after that we will get our tree damage repaired at the Winnebago factory before coming back to the lake for most of October.

As we get back on the road, it will be easier to remember to post here more often.
