June 18, 2009 Knoxville, TN


We are in Knoxville because Bessie got sick in the Smokies and we had to be towed to the nearest Cummins dealer for repair. Come to find out it is the ENGINE. Yee gads!!!! They took out the oil filter and it was full of metal debris. A rebuilt engine is on order and it should be in today. If we are lucky we will be on the road by Monday. The poor little thing was sitting out behind the RV yesterday looking so forlorn, feels sick that it let us down. We are sort of feeling sick that it let us down also$$$$$$$$$$$, but what is is what is.

So we are hole up at a Super 8 with wifi, king size bed, cable, pool, free continental breakfast and somebody makes the bed and cleans the room every day...I can handle that. Tony, however is not a happy camper, they promise free wifi but they do not deliver that to your room, you have to go to the lobby. It seems the wifi system is down but they are working on it. So its no TIVO and its no wifi, he's a bear!!!!!!!!!!

A new engine will have a warranty and some pep going through the mountains that will be good. Thanks for checking in...keep in touch...

The Arizona bridge is a  reinforced concrete  structure clad in the original masonry of the 1830s bridge, which was bought by  Robert P. McCulloch  from the  City of London . McCulloch had exterior granite blocks from the original bridge numbered and transported to America to construct the present bridge in Lake Havasu City, a planned community he established in 1964 on the shore of  Lake Havasu . The bridge was completed in 1971 (along with a canal), and links an island in the lake with the main part of Lake Havasu City. This bush is breathtaking also there were a lot of Restaurants and Brewery's around too bad its ...
