HI All. Amy made me a super breakfast this morning. BLT'S With real bacon. Wonder what I did that rated a breakfast that good.

After breakfast I started trouble shooting the leveling system. Also the power for the slide outs. Bob came out and we continued to trouble shoot with no sucess. Bob found the control box hidden behind a little wall under the dash. We then decided we may need someone who knows a little more than we do. We had narrowed it down to the selenoids on the pump motor, but couldn't prove it.. I asked at the desk if they knew of someone who came on site and worked on rigs. She did and called him. I talked to him and he said he'd be here in about 45 minutes. He got here on time and started doing all that Bob and I had done. He worked on it for about 2 hours and was under the rig and I was pushing buttons at his direction when suddenly it started working. I asked him what he did. He said "NOTHING" We went thru a few ups and downs and in and outs and it worked fine. He recommended that I try to find a couple new selenoids at a Auto Parts store and keep them in case I have trouble again, and that he thinks it is the selenoids. Same thing Bob and I came up with. Only difference is Bob didn't charge me $182.00 like the pro did??? Just hope I can find a selenoid. Have checked one place with no luck. WE do have the back up of Bob under there with a screw driver shorting out the selenoid while I push the buttons like we did when it first went down....

We did get out of here about 1300 and went to "Bear Country USA" It is a super place. You drive thru it and all the animals are loose in there and walk around free. They say to keep your windows up, and if you have a convertable Like Bob has, they won't let you in. It was a super day in there. One good part was I didn't have to walk. hee hee..

After the tour there we went back to Custer, SD and started looking for a restaurant for dinner, and found a grocery store also. We found a nice place to eat. I had a Buffalo sirloin steak. It was pretty good, but I got that out of my system. I'll stick to beef from now on...

Came back to the campground and hooked up the satellite dish. The Auto system doesn't work, and hasn't on the whole trip. Glad I brought a back up antenna. The local TV is real bad here too, so it is nice to have the Satellite working again...

Plan to do some more sight seeing tomorrow. Not shure if we'll stay another day yet or not. Didn't get any photo's on the computer yet to put on the Blog. Amy is down at the laundry now, so She want's to pick the photo's. Don't like my taste I guess...

Well, hope you all can see a little of our trip from this blog. WE are having a real good time, even when we do have a few problems with my rig.....
