At this point in the tour, the stays are a little longer and there aren't any organized tours that would be disruptive to the group. So far they have been able to get to all the places on their itinerary and they haven't missed any of their promised tours or meals.<br /><br />We are looking forward to getting back to the "family". Our fingers are crossed that Michel and Louise can get their truck fixed as well.

They have the new ball joint installed in the control arm but it still has to be attached to Sherman and all put back together and then they have to replace the ball joint on the other side which hopefully will be easier because it wasn't damaged.<br /><br />We have actually just been enjoying this relax time and as Kevin said getting Sherman cleaned up a bit.<br /><br />Kevin needs to take the credit for cooking that chicken not me, all I did was wrap the potatoes in foil and cut up some broccoli and put them on to boil and make some gravy. :-)<br /><br />Other than the lunches or dinners that are included in the tour the people in the group have to look after all their own meals. Many go out for additional meals if there is a restaurant near by.

This caused the engine to run rich and plug his particle filter. Ted White h=is contacting someone in Barra Navidad, our next stop who has the software to force a regen on it. We are hoping we can convince him to come up on the bus, hopefully this eve. If so we can put him up overnight and delay our departure tomorrow by a couple of hours (no big deal) while we try this. Fingers crossed. hopefully both he & kevin can rejoin the group by Saturday.

Sounds like the caravan needs you now as leaders again. Hope Mike and Louise get their truck fixed soon and and get in their way as well. The trip is almost over why does everything have to happen near the end.

But in the meanwhile it’s a great opportunity to catch up in life and enjoy Ruth’s delicious cooking. When you’re with the Caravan how often does everyone prepare their own meals and I assume everyone does their own breakfast?

I wonder if you would be willing to share your technique to get it so nice and evenly browned, as I always seem to burn at least a part of mine.TakeToTheHighwaydotcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13872573574006897572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-7512595968921534332018-03-14T11:47:05.054-04:002018-03-14T11:47:05.054-04:00Dinner looks good.

You've all traveled many miles so break downs are sort of expected. I don't trust my truck to travel out of town so I rent a car if I need to get out of town. Anyway Sherman will be up and moving soon.
