We left our summer campground on the White River in Strawtown, IN, this morning. We had to make a stop at the tire store to have them work on the right front tire that had a slow leak. Slow, to the tune of losing about 1 lb per day. We had them look at it a few days ago and they said it had a bad valve stem, so they replaced it, but it was still leaking. Today, they changed the valve stem and sealed around the tire so it would seal to the rim. That is supposed to take care of the problem. We will see now that we are over 300 miles away.

We are currently in Wentzville, MO at camp Walmart. Again, fuel in MO is more expensive than IL or IN at $3.68/gal. But that is the way it goes.

This is our first trip after having a Banks Power Pack installed. It is a free flowing intake and exhaust headers and muffler system. It is supposed to increase power as well as get better fuel mileage.
Our first tank of fuel resulted in 8.4 mpg, much better than our prior 7.0mpg, however we had a tail wind, which is most unusual, so that has to be taken into consideration as well. We will know better when we get back from this trip out west and can average things out.

Our photos are of our neighbors at the Whiteriver Camp Ground. They have a beautiful Prevost coach and pull an enclosed trailer with their beautiful Goldwing motorcycle that the use to tour the area while they are in camp.

Looks like a really rough way to live, however I did notice that no shoes were allowed inside but sat close to the steps.

It is off to our next hamfest tomorrow to set up for the show on Saturday.
