RIV AND RATS

[Stephen Birtles]

We arrived home last evening at around 8PM and started unloading the
coach. The vise grips held up all the way home A wonderful tool and
everyone should have at least 5 pairs (wink). WE wound up with an
overcharging problem on the way home but it sure made the headlights
bright @16 volts will be fixed monday, water heater and motoraid is
next before storage
Now its time to fix all the stuff we broke on the way down and back
Fuel was a consistant 2.39-2.50 all the way to New York then back to 3.00

We would at this time like to thank all the participants for great
food and hospitality and would hope to see everyone again soon and
there is an open invite for anyone in this area to stop in and visit
although we have no room for a coach in our driveway we would be happy
to tour anyone around the area

A special thanks to Woody and Darlene Wood for letting Stephen "help"
and also to Bill and Pat Kirchener for letting Alysha use the Segway
Believe me it was a high point for of the vacation for both of them
and Betty and I thank you all

Even though we were unable to attend for Blue Bird's participation at
RATS thank you and thank you for letting us tour the RIV it was
enjoyable to see the new coaches a truly great product

The people were great a good time was had by all and we will see you
all next year at RIV AND RATS
