At the beginning of our trip, we had some problems with the furnace. All was going well and then two weeks later we woke up to a chilly motorhome again. Bill came to the rescue again...getting out of bed, getting dressed and fixing the problem.
I kept warm under the covers. :-)
The clamp on the exhaust pipe for the generator broken and then the pipe got bent. We didn't notice it until we got to Chicken. Another thing for Bill to fix.
Bigger problems...require bigger tools. The slide-out started to slide in crooked and required some jerry-rigging to keep it the way it should be to travel. I did hold the bolt while Bill drilled in the screws into a plate to help the problem. :-)
Think it's annoying when someone leaves kitchen drawers or doors open at home? In a motorhome, if latches don't hold.....every corner you go around.....they slide or swing open, then shut, then open, then shut...I think you get it!
Simple solutions here...put the drawer back on it's track and just slam the door. That was easy!
If you watch Alaskan State Troopers, you may have seen this water tower. The program takes place in this area in the Matanuska Valley. It's only 10 miles from Wasilla, so we went down there for lunch and to check out a few stores. In 1935, President Roosevelt's New Deal established the Matanuska Colony. 203 families, from the drought-starved Midwest, came to this area and drew lots for 40 acre lots to farm. Even today, this area is a garden hub for the rest of Alaska because if its microclimate that produces giant vegetables.

This is where all those Flamingos go in the summertime.
Back to the campground to relax and to
have an Alaskan beer and some munchies.
Maybe...we should forget the munchies and.....
...just have the Alaskan beer.
Hey, doesn't everyone keep their beer in the shower?
