Every Thing Went Smoothly Today

Hot Springs, AR
Lake Catherine State Park

Today was a good day.  

Harry went fishing this morning while we waited on a call from the garage about our truck.  He caught a half dozen fish in a few minutes.

Harry and Carlena had a slow leak in a tire on their truck, so we rode to the tire shop with them. Our truck was in the shop next door to the tire store.  I was happy when I saw the hood up on the truck.  

Harry and Carlena had the valve stem repaired and the owner said "no charge".

The last time we had the ac repaired on the truck, the charge for the freon alone was $245.00.  I was trying to calculate what the bill was going to be.  They finished up around 11:30.  The total for parts, labor and freon was $187 and with tax was $211.  We were very pleased with the price and that they took care of it immediately.  

We stopped to get diesel and the pumps were very slow.  Bill finally stopped pumping at 15 gallons.  We felt like we were holding George, Linda, Carlena and Harry up so we hurried back to the RV park.  

By the way, I think I failed to mention that the Gator Den RV Park was $20 for 50 amp full hook ups.  The sites were huge, level and were around a beautiful lake.  Very nice owner, who comes around to collect the fee in the evening.

It was a beautiful two hour ride over to Hot Springs.  We have a very nice wooded site.  It was a blind side back in (for those who own a fifth wheel you'll understand.)  Can you believe in all those trees, we have satellite TV.

Susie and Bud texted us that the beer was cold at their site.

George and Linda Morey and John and Cindy Walker were also there.  Zoey was happy to see us and I was glad I'd brought a treat.

We enjoyed visiting with everyone.  As we were walking back up to our site.  We stopped for hugs from John and Shirley Kohl.  

It's a beautiful park.  The catered dinner sponsored by Montana was great.  They also supplied beer, and wine for the meet and greet.

I've been to a lot of rallies, but never had such a huge registration bag.  There was
everything from whetstones, makeup, laundry products, soup mixes, beef sticks, glass cleaner, cookies, wash and wax, and spices to name a few.

Most of the items were marked with this sticker.








Montana had a short presentation on the new models and also on the awards they've won.  The 100,000 Montana made rolled out the factory last summer.  

Here's some photos of people attending the meet and greet.

Here's a photo of Kathy who is the wagonmaster.

More happy faces.....

After the dinner door prizes were given out.  Everyone received a prize.  Numbers were drawn and the winners picked a black zippered insulated bags with a prize inside.

That's a five pound container!

After everyone won a prize, the drew again for 10 Montana sweatshirts. Bud and Susie won one.  Harry and Carlena also won one.  Now all they need is a Montana to go with it.
