It's been awhile since I posted. I've been working again. I did a 4 day trip on Sat that had some scheduling changes so it morphed into 4 long days without enough time to make a post. It turned out to be a very enjoyable trip thanks to who I was flying with, thanks Rick.
I talked about the roof rack and said we were thinking about switching from Thule to Yakima. On further investigation we decided to stay with Thule. I had received some info back from a few retailers that sold both and they seemed to prefer Thule. Well, we exchanged the wrong mounts that I mentioned, cancelled the special order for the fit kit, bought the correct mounts and fit kit, and Friday afternoon we installed the new bars and mounts. Fit great and we were very pleased. Saturday morning we left for the airport, and WOW, was the rack ever loud! It just howled! We looked at each other and knew we could not live with it. So Jan had to go back, yet again to REI, what a great store, and exchange the bars and mounts for their Aero bars that should cut down the noise. But, they didn't have the bars we needed in stock so they should arrive today, and we hope to mount it later and find NO noise.
We told the campground folks we were planning to leave in a week or so after being here for over 6 years. I guess we're regulars. Rick, the manager, who has become a friend, and Andrew had us over for a good bye oyster feast that was fantastic! Andrew is an incredible chef, and we had a great evening.
We are zeroing in on the end, so will be busy this week getting the final items accomplished and seeing some good friends before we cut out of Dodge!
