Is there something about Rally's in the Ruidoso/Alto area that bring me bad luck? LOL. We missed the 2017 rally due to RV issues that we ended up with our 5th wheel in the shop for a couple months and had to cancel. Now, this morning my lovely bride mentioned that we had no hot water (in our house). I checked the hot water tank and the catch basin below the tank was full of water. There is a leak in the within the unit. I checked the pressure release and it is not coming from there and also not coming from the water in pipe. So, it must be from inside the tank housing. I have repair coming out tomorrow. I have a bad feeling, I will require a new tank.
Good news is that Ann can hear now. We went to the hearing doctors and she was fitted with 2 new hearing aids ($$$). Unfortunately, now she can hear things I took for granted and ignored but she is wondering what every squeak and knock is in the house. Plus I can't say thing under my breath anymore. The great part is that she likes them. They are very small and she hardly knows they are there. They also have "Bluetooth", so she can talk on her cell phone hands free. I didn't know they did that.
Anyway, we still plan on attending the Rally even though this has been an extremely expensive month. We are looking forward to getting away for a while and seeing everyone in Alto. Isn't home ownership fun? LOL.

Hi Don,
Just wanted to take the time to remind you to make sure you bring a couple of extra gallons of water and one of antifreeze. It may come in handy while up in the higher altitudes. I truly appreciate all that you do to make these rallies so enjoyable. ��

I give up. What is the extra water and antifreeze for? I wouldn't think there will be freezing temps in May, but I'm from E Texas. Sounds like this might put a dampener on Margaritaville.lol
Frank you just have to understand, Roy is from CA, the land of fruits and nuts. Just kidding, Roy has had some issues in the past on the mountains with his pickup. We looked at the weather in Ruidoso, so far so good! See you in about a week..

Today, I had the last straw. I went out to the camper to get ready to do the pre trip checkout. Anyway, I put the slides out and realized that I wanted to check the tire pressure, so pulled the slides back in. When I hit the button to pull in the kitchen side slide, there was a pop and only the motor ran. The slide did not budge. It is stuck in the out position. GRRRRRR. I needed mobile repair to come to my house and check it out. He found the bracket that holds the drive shaft screw to be broken. Unfortunately, he is quite booked up tomorrow and will not be able to get back to fix it until next week. This means we are going to have to cancel. Since we didn't find this until just about an hour ago, I still need to call the campground tomorrow to cancel as well

I am truly sorry Don and Vicky to cancel at this late date. Maybe next year.

Ann, Rick - We wanted to do that route. And then, we figured we'd skip WA and catch up in ID but that changed as well. DISAPPOINTING. That Pacific Region crowd knows how to PARTY HEARTY, eh?! But we are looking forward to catching up with you all in Goshen. Meantime, have fun and we'll see you soon. We'll be doing the same in Ruidoso.
Oh no, hate to hear this happened and so sorry you won't be able to make the rally. Hope you get it fixed soon and on the road again and hope to see you again soon. Take care!
Good morning,
We arrived at the park yesterday, was just ready so we came on. It's beautiful, peaceful and the weather is perfect. Not too hot during the day, a bit chilly at night. We've had a few who had to cancel and we will certainly miss them. Looking forward to seeing everyone, it's going to be a great time!! Safe travels!
