After a great rally , we are making our way home . There were several Bird owners who were familiar with Barth. It was definitely a hit at the rally. It gets good comments everywhere we go .

Three more days until we get back home . Next trip will be the second week of November. Going to Arkansas to Jeep around the mountains watching the leaves change color

Happy Motoring

White is a color! Currently in northern Wisconsin with family. It’s snowing with a 20 mph wind and 27 degrees. Leaves were at peak yesterday. Great drive over. Cards and tasty adult beverages.

Harold,Cat&SamCleaned up the tail light wiring and switched to LED lights . Added a turn only circuit while I was there . I used trailer junction boxes to tie everything together.

Harold,Cat&SamGenerator update . The generator install

on the trailer didn't work out. With the rear mounted radiator too much heat was directed at the generator and it would overheat . Worked fine stationary, but overheats running down the road.
I was able to get the onboard Dometic Kyawatt generator running smooth and replaced the leaking exhaust system . It works great now .
The generator on the trailer was good in theory , but just wouldn't work in reality. We'll just call that a failed experiment

Harold,Cat&SamEnjoying a nice stay at Kirby Landing on Lake Greeson in Arkansas

The coach made the trip up with no problems . Yesterday the weather was a little rough with heavy rain , hail and high winds . The tornadoes missed us by a few miles . One tried to form over our head , but moved on to the east before dropping down . Being trained storm spotters , we had a close eye on the storms . We took the Jeep down some Forrest Service roads in the Ouachita Mountains and got it a little dirty

.
Overall , having a great time

Sure Harold rub it in! This was my view this morning. Heart attack snow heavier than cement. We are hoping to let solar clear this round if I can get out with the truck.

Harold,Cat&SamWe spent a few days in Booneville Arkansas visiting friends . The coach performed well , we just took it nice and slow up and down the steep hills on Arkansas 27 . Going slow doesn't really bother us , if we are in the coach then we aren't in a hurry
Looking forward to making many more trips in the near future

Seems like your pup was a pocket dog last we saw it. It’s grown up. Glad your getting out. I have trouble slowing down ever!
