Today we will do laundry, and tonight have our orientation class. All the participants should be here by today (I think most of them are here). Driving the MH isn't too bad. I just have to watch downhill speeds and when I have the MH in cruise control it will downshift going down hills to maintain the set speed. Windy days are bad especially a crosswind. I don't know how it is possible but it always seems like we have a headwind, never a tailwind. As for gassing up, I have to be careful that I can pull in and pull out without getting stuck or hitting a gas pump. Saturday we pulled into a rest area only to find it was the only rest area in British Columbia without a drive through exit. It wasn't large enough turn around in and we can't back up with the toad attached. We had to unhook, back up, get turned around and rehook the toad. After that we were very careful of where we pulled into. It also takes some getting used to paying $200 to $250 every time we get gas(every 400 miles). We have seen a few deer so far, no moose, but Pat saw a bear on Saturday. I was driving and didn't see it.
P.S. I found out that if you double click on the pictures they will enlarge to almost full screen.

Jim & Pat - After the group caravan gets going, like to hear about the travel routine, navigation package, road communications, etc. I'll be interested to compare to our bike tours. Enjoy the journey.

That's one impressive mountain in the center photo. Name? How tall? How far away is it form where you are? What's it's vertical rise from the valley? Neil
