Forgot to tell you, if you come through albuquerque, let me know when you are
coming through.
I also want to remind you about the Albuq Balloon Fiesta Roundup OCt 5 to 10 where
you can see 138 of your sisters and brothers coaches.

Ed,

After reading about your trip, I think I need to
take a nap. That's quite a trip . . . If you took I-
10 through SoCal, you passed within about 3
blocks of where we live in Redlands.

Regarding your preference for your GMC over
the Bounder, having been Service Publications
Administrator for Fleetwood (working for both
the Motor Home and Towables Groups for the
last 21 years), I've got a pretty good insight on
Bounder, et al. (yes, I have stories . . . oh, do I
have stories . . . but this M/L is about GMCs.)

My co-workers sort of cock their heads to one
side (visualize the RCA dog in front of the
Victrola) when I told them I was buying a 26-
year-old GMC when I could buy anything
Fleetwood makes at dealer cost. You know
what they were wondering. I didn't really have to
explain it to them . . .

Thanks for the advice. I'll be very careful to
check those "vital bodily fluids".
